Don’t miss out on love…

Obviously, I’m a big believer that love can happen anywhere, at any time.  That’s why I want you to imagine the following scenario. Pretend for a second that you’re a New Yorker waiting for the 6 train and you happen to lock eyes with a handsome stranger across the crowded platform.  You feel a jolt down to your pinky toe (and maybe elsewhere too). But then the moment passes. He gets on the train and you’re still stuck waiting with a sinking feeling in your stomach, wondering what might have been. more…

Why bringing a pal as your date is a bad idea

I had the great pleasure of spending the past weekend on Martha’s Vineyard with one of my best friends in the world, Karla. We were celebrating her engagement to Ben, the man of her dreams. Our mutual pal, Anthony (who’s also in the wedding party) suggested that we be one another’s dates on the big day.

For those of you who smoke, happy 420 day! You might wonder, ‘why in the hell is Laura discussing marijuana on a site that’s all about looking for love?’ And to that I would say, ladies, to each her own. Some of you like guys who dress like hippies or have dreads or can make you a rad space cake (you also must not mind that weed makes a guy almost physically unable to get it up. But again, to each her own). more…

Streetspark says yes! Can I get someone to take this for a test-drive?

I received an email from my friend Christina today telling me I HAD to write about this new iPhone dating application called Streetspark. Life lesson #1 here: trust your pals. I’m now officially dying to try this app because — tada! — it claims to make dating in your very own city easy as 1, 2, 3. And as many of you know, it isn’t when we’re on vacation that we have problems meeting our match, it’s right here in our home cities… more…
