Ditched?

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 05/20/2010 - 16:06 | 5 Comments

I had finally done it. I had finally arranged a date with Zeus, the Greek man I'd met online a few weeks back.  I woke up on date day with a sense of calm. My ease surprised me, as Zeus and I had never spoken. Still, off I went to meet a man for the first time that I'd only emailed half a dozen times. I hopped on the train, still mellow, with no expectations of...

Spontaneous Combustion

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 05/18/2010 - 14:00 | 1 Comment

When it comes to matters of the heart, my life is pretty predictable. From only dating Latino men to the abrupt manner in which my relationships end, everything is always the same. Unfortunately, the same hasn’t led too much. It never does, does it?

Now, I’m taking the steps to break out of my love routine. I emailed Zeus, the 30-something that emailed me on the...

Let the Past Be the Past

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 05/14/2010 - 14:00 | 2 Comments

Leaving the past in the past has always been quiet difficult for me. I am a woman who, when vulnerable and in love, attaches herself for life—whether the man is reciprocating or not. Luckily, I am slowly shedding that aspect of my persona, attempting to experience something new and different. And that’s why I decided to reply to Zeus.

Zeus was another possible date...

Dolores dice...¿Es mentiroso ese hombre?

By Dolores | 05/14/2010 - 10:36 | 4 Comments

Dear Dolores:

I’m 22 and have been seeing this handsome 25-year-old hombre who really cares about me. He’s great except for one thing: He’s married to a 33-year-old woman with two kids. According to him, they’re having all sorts of problems. She’s horrible, never wants to spend time with him, goes off on vacation to Cancun by herself—the list goes...

No Chaser

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 05/13/2010 - 11:00 | 1 Comment

I've never been the type of woman to chase a man...at least not in the beginning of a relationship. Sure, I've called a man while drinking at 4am because the relationship has gone awry. And yes, I have even written numerous emails to "express myself" when the man in question runs into his cave, refusing to return my late night phone calls and texts. But I’ve only yelled “...

The Numbers Game

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 05/11/2010 - 14:00 | 0 Comments

Winking at someone online doesn't always guarantee success. Heck! Sometimes a wink is all you get. That emoticon in your Inbox can quickly become the only communication between you and the profile cutie that caught your eye, which makes online dating more of a numbers game than anything else.

Fortunately, this was not the case between The Illustrator from the Bronx...

Dolores dice...Arroz con Pizza

By Dolores | 05/10/2010 - 16:17 | 0 Comments

Dear Dolores:

I’m a Puerto Rican dating a non-Latino. Things are going pretty well, except at the dinner table. He only eats pizza, chicken or pasta. When he comes to family dinners he looks at the food in disgust and hardly touches the pernil and arroz con gandules. It makes me feel bad because my family’s always asking me why he...

Dolores dice...Rock the Cradle of Love

By Dolores | 05/07/2010 - 15:00 | 6 Comments

Dear Dolores:

My boyfriend just broke up with me because of our age difference; he didn’t want people to think he was robbing the cradle. I’m 17 and he’s 35. But now he tells me that if we get back together I have to change the way I dress and stop plucking my eyebrows, wearing makeup and going out with my amigas. I don’t know what to do because I...
