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...

False Expectations

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 05/04/2010 - 14:00 | 1 Comment

Most men don't have realistic expectations of the women they can actually seduce. In all actuality, the 45-year-old at the club thinks it's his duty to grind on the pretty, young thang just because she has on a miniskirt. This disregard for what a woman wants is simply incomprehensible and honestly, really irritating! I mean, can you please pull up your pants,...

Date Night

By Carla Molina Martins | 05/03/2010 - 18:00 | 3 Comments

Dates with my husband, the out-of-the-house-dinner-at-a-restaurant-variety, are few and far between these days.  But it's not that kind of dating I'm talking about. When we got pregnant with our second daughter, I read everywhere how important it is to make time for each of your children individually, essentially to go on dates with each of your kids.  I...

Wink!

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 04/29/2010 - 14:00 | 1 Comment

Setting up an online dating profile usually leads to an increase of suitors. Unfortunately, most of the suitors aren't really that suitable. Only 48 hours into OkCupid and I had garnered the attention of a gaggle of old geezers who thought I was "beautiful" and wanted to "chat". And did a mention a woman named Peaches peeked at my profile and send me an electronic wink?...

What About Your Friends?

By Carla Molina Martins | 04/21/2010 - 18:00 | 2 Comments

With 29 years of life under my belt and a love for any kind of social event plus a chatty habit of talking up just about anyone, you'd imagine I'd have quite the circle of friends. This, however, is not the case. I walk the line between being an introvert and an extrovert. I love everyone, but don't necessarily like everyone. I have a big...

Ready for Love

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 04/20/2010 - 14:00 | 0 Comments

While throwing back birthday drinks, I vowed that at 32 I would stir up my romantic life. I hadn't had a date since Generous Stranger, and that date was more like an instantaneous meeting of two attractive and hungry souls than an outing.  Now more than ever I want to be wined and dined before dawn. I want to be picked up and dropped off at a respectable hour, called...

Happy Birthday to Me!

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 04/15/2010 - 14:00 | 6 Comments

To me, birthdays are a big deal.  I have to celebrate it on that very day no matter what day of the week or what special events coincide. So what if it's a cousins wedding? It's my birthday! April 16th is whose graduation? Sorry, I can't make it. It's my birthday!

Not everyone understands my passion for celebrating my birthday like it's a national...

Living for Today

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 04/13/2010 - 18:26 | 2 Comments

So far, 2010 has been really rough. In early February, my ex was violently killed, and on March 26th my Tia Argentina passed away after enduring a 3-month coma. All this tragedy has been devastating; but somehow it has also pushed me to release some of my fears and self-imposed limitations. I find myself wanting to take more chances. I find myself asking: "Why leave for...
