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.

PR Model

This is the most complex blog post I written about any date. As Single City Guy, I have the luxury of writing anonymously about my dates, remaining honest about how well they went, and not worry that my dates are going to read them. If they happen to stumble upon it by chance, I have the ability to deny it was me. This post is different, I do not have that luxury here. I’ve entered a situation where a woman who I’ve gone out with twice knows my dating alter-ego. Here’s how it happened.
Last weekend, I went on a NDD with @KB_in_NYC who suggested setting me up with a friend. Blind dates have never worked well for me, but I was convinced I had nothing to loose about and threw chance to the wind. We were introduced thru Twitter, but thanks to a series of mishaps, I was introduced as SCG. I’m sure it’s odd being introduced to an anonymous dating blogger as a blind date. For me it’s even worse, I’m faced with two choices: either write about the date and fear she’ll read it; or don’t write about the date, be dishonest to your readers, and deal with questions later.

The Wingman
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating on November 20, 2009
When I head about a male dating coach, I immediately think of Neil Strauss, Mystery and the entire PUA community. While I have my own likes and dislikes of the scene, it is effective. There are alternate methodologies to attracting women. One that begins with you as an individual, without the need to turn into a robot that treats women like a thing. Thomas Edwards, “The Professional Wingman” is someone who believes and practices this method. In a recent trip to New York City, I took a moment to meet Thomas to get inside his head a bit, and to see if he could be another potential dating coach. Read the rest of this entry »
The Single Life
Posted by Single City Guy in Single Life on September 21, 2009
Being single in New York City doesn’t seem too bad. With 8.3 million people, more women then men, it would seem finding a date wouldn’t be soo hard. It would seem all a single person would be able to venture into New York’s social life and meet a compatible single. It would seem so easy.
The truth is dating in New York City is war. Strap your boots soldier, grab your gun and try to survive the battlefield that is a “date”. Don’t believe me? Google any of the great “Single in New York City” blogs and you’ll get a glimpse of how bat-shit insane dating can be in NYC.
So what’s the point of this blog? My two friends SingleGal and GoodbyeGal gave me the idea about writing an anonymous blog about my stories as a single native New Yorker (by the way, read their blog, it’s hilarious!) After sharing some of my single stories with friends and family, it was determined I should write these down and share them with the rest of the world. Add the fact that male single bloggers seem to be a minority and you pretty much get the gist.
Welcome to the male prospective of being single in New York City.
