I’ve lived in New York for a while now, but there’s still something about the city in winter that always gets to me. How is it possible for a place to be as beautiful as this. And, like most city girls, beautfy makes me think of a lot of things. Including romance. (more…)

OK- I know some of you are going to totally hate me and think I’m a huge nerd, but let me tell you. If you want to date me, you need to know your grammar. For example, take this guy that contacted me on True last night. I managed to book it to create my profile (I know, I’m a star), and then this one guy writes me the following: (more…)
