31 Dates in 31 days author Tamara Duricka Johnson shares her dating tips with LoveTrekker

Tamara Duricka Johnson was sick and tired of failed romances and so, on the eve of her 31st birthday, decided to do something about it. She decided to go on a month of first dates without making each new guy into a prospective boyfriend. The challenge: to go out with a new man every single day without caving in to a one night stand or a possible second date….until date 31, that is. Her 31st date would become her ‘second date.’ So how did the 31 Dates in 31 Days author do it? And how can you afford to go on multiple dates yourself? more…

The Drive star is my perfect man

I know I usually talk about international dating and feelings, but today I thought I’d try something a little different. I don’t usually dig actors. They’re all so full of themselves and smarmy, a front for hiding their crippling insecurities. And aside from banging on about old “Golden Eyes” Robert Pattinson (I must confess to pining for his Twilight character over the dirty man himself), I don’t get starstruck. Fact. Still, everything I read about Ryan Gosling convinces me that he is “the one.” Why? Read on. And yes, for those that actually do know me, it has a lot to do with his love for Disneyland and addiction to sugar. more…

In honor of yesterday’s National Kissing Day, here are some straight facts about locking lips

In case you’ve never heard of it (I hadn’t), yesterday was National Kissing Day, so here’s hoping you had someone to smooch (I didn’t, unless you count the 85 year old man that asked me out at the gym before limping off on his cane, which I don’t, thank you very much). Because I’m doing so little lip locking, I have much more time on my hands to find random facts about something others are doing plenty of (in the name of celebration of course). So enjoy the fruits of my labor when you read these ten little-known facts about puckering up, and stand tall knowing that you’re that you’re very patriotically taking such important national holidays seriously. more…

Elisabetta Canalis hinted she wanted to get married after two YEARS of dating. How could this scare George Clooney off?

George Clooney could easily get any damn woman in the world that he wants, but he tends to have monogamous, long-lasting relationships. He was married to Talia Balsam for four years, dated French waitress Celine Balitran from 1996-1999, British model Lisa Snowdon in 2001 and again in 2004; he was with soap opera actress Krista Allen in between the Snowdon years from 2002-2004. He then dated Las Vegas waitress Sarah Larson from 2006-2009 before settling on Italian TV host Elisabetta Canalis from 2009-2011. These women all have two common bonds: they are very, very beautiful and they have all been dumped by Clooney after asking for more of a commitment. Bastard! more…

Sarah Jessica Parker in 'Sex and the City 2'

Is the second time around ever better than the first? Not in the movies!

On the big screen, it’s a very rare thing indeed that a sequel tops the original. For example, who can forget Sex and the City 2, Carrie Bradshaw’s second major failure (the first being ditching Aidan, of course), a film apparently so shiteous that it actually lost money domestically whilst being panned by pretty much every critic with unimpaired hearing? Although there are exceptions to the sequel rule, I’m going to generalize here and say that most don’t compare to the original. But can this rule be applied to relationships, as well? Does lightning strike twice with an ex and last? more…

Beach? Check. Boys? Check? Bored? Ditto

Let’s be clear about one thing: I have absolutely no right to be as hateful about my experience at Gladstone’s as I’m about to be. Just so we’re on the same page. But this supposedly chilled-out Malibu, Calif. beach bum bar was an exercise in horror — and one that I wish I had put off until summertime. more…

There are only a select few chosen, but Tyler gets my vote!

Ah, spring. A time of flowers, a time of sunshine, a time of…men. Yes, that’s right, not only is this officially when you start to see the boys of pre-summer running around outdoors, but it also happens to be when we decide who’s sexy enough to make the cut for Cosmopolitan magazine’s Hottest Bachelor search. Oh, the options! I’m a nominating virgin, but this year I decided to throw a good friend’s name in the ring. He’s looking for love, you’re looking for love…let’s make a match! more…

Check out the hottest post-Academy Award parties around…and try your luck at getting in to meet the celebrity man of your dreams

Well, look no further, because this is where the A-list in crowd will be partying in honor of the Academy Awards come Feb. 27!

Want to meet a man or ten 24/7? Head to the 31 Ten bar & lounge!

It’s fitting that the space currently called 31 Ten used to be known as Cache, because this is one bar you’d like to remain a secret (at least from other women). This new Santa Monica, Cali. hotspot is so chock-full of sexy single guys that you might feel like a kid in a candy store! more…

How to meet the football-loving guy of your dreams…and make sure he’s paying as much attention to you as he is the big game!

Ah, the big day is here…the one I care less to nothing about. Yes, friends, I loathe football. I know it’s an American pastime and all, and I know that the number of female football fans — who The New York Times call ‘Gridiron Girls’ — has increased by 23% over the last two years, but I am not among them. Being more interested in watching paint dry  than watching the Super Bowl won’t prevent me from hitting up a good, old-fashioned Sunday Funday football fete, though — and, if you are like me, it shouldn’t prevent YOU, either. Don’t forget, girls — where there is football, there will be MEN. more…
