The Future of Single City Guy
Posted by Single City Guy in Updates on March 16, 2010
So Single City Guy isn’t single anymore, which leads to some questions, mainly, what happens next?
There was a blog post not to long ago, that asked if your blog keeping you single? It was a question I asked myself while considering taking myself off of the market. The larger question was, will Single City Guy cease once I’m in a relationship? I’ve always told myself the answer would be no, but when you’re looking down the barrel of the gun, you begin to think differently. Read the rest of this entry »
From Rule Breaker to Girlfriend
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating on March 12, 2010
It’s been roughly seven weeks since I’ve first met Rule Breaker, a bit longer since our first communicate. About two weeks ago, after a trip from Cleveland, I decided to take myself off of the market and cave to my feelings. I asked her to become my girlfriend, and she said yes!
A friend once told me, you’ll know to start something exclusive with a woman when you don’t care to see any other women. While dating, I went on two dates with other women; but in my mind these were clearly of the non-date date variety. These two women I had met thru friends and social circles, were attractive, but I didn’t have want or inclination to move beyond potential new friends. Read the rest of this entry »
Maybe You’re Not As Awesome As You Think
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating Topics on March 11, 2010
My father once told me, I should listen to my enemies more than my friends. While my friends may be honest, they often sugarcoat the truth and tolerate my absurdities. My enemies tend to often be direct and brutally honest in their critiques. He suggested their honesty may reflect a realities closer to the truth opposed to the way I would often think about myself. In a way, it allows honesty by looking at myself thru a different set of eyes. Read the rest of this entry »
When Should You Consider Exclusivity?
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating Topics on March 10, 2010
SCG: I know this isn't a dating picture, per say, but it's a cool design from a clothing company!
Here’s a great question I’ve recently had to handle. When do you become exclusive with the person you’re dating? There isn’t a 20 date minimum to exclusivity, it’s more innate than that, it’s a feeling. That may be a “cop out” answer, but it’s the only logical answer.
There comes a point while dating that you know it’s time to give up on seeing anyone else. It’s when the thought of dating another person doesn’t feel right, where you don’t have any interests in another person. It’s also when that feeling isn’t forced upon you but develops naturally.

Be Honest With Your Date
Posted by Single City Guy in Tips for Men on March 10, 2010
There are millions of articles, websites, books and magazines dedicated to translating the hidden language of men. It’s not that we speak a hidden language, but we communicate differently than women. Generally we are seen as poor communicators, a fact I’m not inclined to dispute. Men are perceived as poor communicators because most of our communication relies on assumptions and actions instead of traditional verbalization. We speak, but don’t go into detail about every piece of our lives. The truth of the matter is we display our feelings differently than women, which causes plenty of confusion and frustration.
Women enjoy hearing our feelings and honest thoughts. The truth is more respectable than a lie or and more honorable than leading women to their own assumptions. A woman will often make assumptions based on our actions and their wants, regardless of they’re accurate. If we act as if we’re heading towards a long term relationship, when we’re just seeking sex, women will assume we’re working towards a long term relationship. Read the rest of this entry »
Women Must Respect Men
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating Topics on March 9, 2010
There are common themes that emerge when I read many other dating blogs, women taking their hostility out on men. We’re often reminded why men are jerks, horrible assholes, and why a guy isn’t suited for female standards. This stems from the perceived notion that women aren’t finding their perfect guy, and slamming men for the bad decisions in men they date. This is an ultimate sign of disrespect, almost as if women don’t think a good, valuable guy exists for them. Read the rest of this entry »
Women Aren’t Entitled To Anything
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating Topics on March 8, 2010
“Well she’s got a hotty body, but her attitude is potty/When I met her at a party she was hardly acting naughty/I said “Shorty, would you call me?”/She said “Pardon me, are you ballin’?”/I said “Darling, you sound like a prostitute pausing”/Oh so you’re one them freaks, get geeked at the sight of an ATM receipt” – OutKast – Roses
Entitled women are the worst type of women in the world to date. An entitled woman believes men should always prove their worth. They feel men should always pay for a date, call within the first two days, meet their beck and call, be a certain height, and always ask them out. Some entitlements are warranted, but most aren’t, and some go to extremes, such as gold diggers.
Entitled women often believe that men owe them something for their time. They are the pretty, pretty, princesses who should have everything given to them. Not only are these women kidding themselves, they are the worst kind of woman to date! Read the rest of this entry »
Rule Breaker and The Third Date
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating on March 8, 2010
The third date is a very important date. The last woman to make it to a third date was XPG, and things ended awkwardly. Rule Breaker had made it to this important part in the dating process and intuitively many decisions were going to be made. Due to the dates importance, the date itself had to carry some weight, we decided on an Italian place near her apartment. Read the rest of this entry »
Ideas For A Great Third Date
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating Topics on March 5, 2010
The third date is an important step in the dating process. At this point of dating someone, it’s generally known whether you’re interested in seeing the same person for a longer, or not at all. Usually, the first two dates include some form of drinks and food, but the third date should stand out from the rest. It should be unique from the previous dates, and something that will set you apart from any other individuals she may be dating.
There are plenty of good third date activities, and I believe it should last more than an hour and include a hint of intimacy. By the third date you should have kissed the person your dating, if that’s not the case, something is wrong. Heading to either your or her apartment to make out isn’t a bad idea to consider as a part of the date, but maybe after the actual date had ended. The date should begin with something that would lead to an intimate moment.
