Indecisive Girl, Part 2 – The Conclusion
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating on January 6, 2010
I ended my post about Indecisive Girl ominously. I was sure I would see her again, and I did. When I first talked about her, many of the comments from the readers were spot on. I was attracted to her because she was unattainable. I was willing to take the abuse she would hand out at the hope it would turn into a relationship.
By the time I had written the post, I was well over her, although there was an outside hope that she would realize how great of a guy I was. There’s only so much torture a guy can go through before he gets the message and moves on. I had been through enough. The problem is she’s a part of a larger group of friends who I usually hangout during New Years. I didn’t want to ignore my friends because of what ever issues we were having.

Indecisive Girl
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating on December 31, 2009
With today being New Year’s Eve, I’m reminded of my continuous New Year’s dating story. It starts well before New Years, during football season several years ago. I was at a sports bar in midtown and met a group of people, all from Boston who lives in NYC. It was comprised of two girls, both roommates, one guy. We engaged in conversation and one of the girls (Indecisive Girl) demonstrated her interest. The other girl was taken by a foreign guy. I couldn’t quite figure out the dynamics here, there was something weird abut this group. Shortly everything became clear. The guy and the girl with the foreign guy were related and the guy was Indecisive Girls’s ex-boyfriend. Oy. Read the rest of this entry »
The Tale of Dog Lady and the 10th Engagement Ring
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating on December 4, 2009
This story was originally written as a guest post on Simone Grant’s blog Sex, Lies, and Dating. I’ve featured Simone on my blog before and is one of my favorite singles bloggers and I highly recommend reading her blog. I’m going to be making some references to Dog Lady in future posts and decided to retell the story for future references. This post has been edited from its original format.
This story begins at my favorite bar where I choose to enjoy an afterwork, happy hour drink. When I arrived, I sat close to an attractive woman in an Bollywood styled outfit. Moments later we were discussing our jobs, life and pets. She made it clear her love for her dog and began to confide other personal information. She was a widow of 10 years and had been asked to marry an additional eight times. Each man was turned down and the engagement rings were kept. She joked she could make a display of the 9 rings; she never did. Despite the bright red flags and warning signs, I obtained her number and watched her leave the bar, thinking I would see her in a day or two. I wasn’t ready for what would happen next.

Married With Children
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating on September 22, 2009
From the title alone, you should gather this dating story ends in a ball of flames and despair. There were plenty of red flags, warnings and hints that maybe this person isn’t suited for dating. I should have stopped and cut what ever losses short. Had I done that I would not have this wonderful story to share with you. Consider yourself the beneficiary of my misery!
