All Things Dating

“Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates and guys are just people to have fun with.” ― Candace Bushnell

All Things Dating. Before there was HWMMS (He Who Makes Me Smile) there might have been one or two or three or twenty-seven or so different people I dated since starting this blog. Ah, the memories. He Who I Cannot Resist, DC John, Mark, B…not to mention all the unrequited love. And well maybe a few random dates here and there as well.
