I ditched Tim Gunn and, somehow, ended up in corporate America. I’m probably more attached to this city than I am to most of my friends. I’ve been known to buy The Economist and US Weekly at the same time. I’m an absolute disaster at romantic relationships, but I haven’t given up on myself yet.

I post a mish-mosh of stuff here. Sometimes I over-share. It is what it is.

Him: You go out on a date then you wait a certain amount of time and then go on another one, and in between you're supposed to go out with a couple of other people which seems to be just because there are so many out there and there are options that need to be weighed. Like you aren't a man if you actually want to have a connection beyond flirty SMS and a boozy dinner. It should be more straightforward. If you like someone - just keep spending time with them until one of you feels like the interest level is heading away from what you want. And let it all unfold from there.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
