Joe Hottie: Did I Pass or Fail?
Before I even had time to sort out my feelings about Jessica, I was thrown a real-world test. I guess whether I passed or failed depends on your perspective on things. Read on! The day after our "talk," I got an email from a close friend of mine from college, Sarah, who said she was...

Joe Hottie: Am I a Brat?
Attention: Jessica finally popped the question. No not thatquestion--I'm pretty sure we're not there yet. But she did finally ask where she thought our non-relationship relationship was headed. "So, like, are we dating?" she asked. "I don't know!" I...

Time for some Jessica chatter So, there are some things you want to know about your current lover: What their favorite restaurant is, for example, or whether they have any psycho ex-boyfriends you should know about. Then there are things that you definitely don't want to know: Was their ex...

Joe Hottie: How long can a friends with benefits relationship last?
There's a natural shelf-life to being "friends with benefits" with someone. Unless things progress into a full-blown relationship, at least one of the people invariably: 1) Decides he/she wants something more (e.g., a real relationship, not just random calls and texts at 2...

Joe Hottie: Size Matters
Awkward question: How do you tell a girl you are no longer interested in going on a first date with her ? Without telling her it's because you didn't enjoy having sex with her when you both got drunk and hooked up before the initial date? (Oops.) Let me explain: I decided to go out with...

Joe Hottie: Size matters part 2
I got this email Monday morning from Leslie:
From: Leslie
To: Joe Hottie
Time: 10:23 a.m. (Yeah, I get to show up to work later than you.)
Hey! Hope the rest of your weekend went well. Just wanted to let you know that I had fun on Friday! Lemme know when you want to cash in on that discount :)
xoxo, Les
I felt a sinking feeling. Not responding would be totally blowing her off. Responding while avoiding the hanging question of the dinner-shopping date would make her think I didn't like her. Which isn't technically true--I did like her. A lot, even. We had a really good time together, and any girl who drinks Makers Mark on the rocks is OK in my book. But I'm not feeling it post hook-up, which is unfortunate. The worst part of it is that my reason for my disinterest is not something I feel comfortable divulging to her, and probably something I'd be smacked in the face for revealing. (See "Size Matters Part 1")

Joe Hottie: Down But Not Out
Before we delve into the latest segment of the Jessica saga, it has come to my attention that some of you have posed a question in the comments section that you'd like me to address. One of you wrote: "I want to ask this...how long do you think you should wait before 'going down' on... Read More »

Joe Hottie: Jessica recap
Remember Jessica? Yep, she's still around. And things have changed quite a bit since I've last filled you in. A quick recap: Jessica and I were introduced by her roommate (whom you might recall I actually slept with, but I guess neither of them held it against me), and we immediately hit it... Read More »

Joe Hottie: Mutually beneficial
It has been a while, and I have a lot to catch you all up on. For today, let's talk about how I'm still seeing Coffee Girl (or Coffee Cougar, as my editor is fond of calling her). In a nutshell, things haven't really changed between me and Coffee Girl: One of us will text the other something playful (or downright dirty, depending on the time of night and amount of alcohol consumed). Then, the other person chooses to either return the message or ignore it.
Think about it. It's an efficient and mutually-beneficial relationship, and we've met up about a dozen times. Before parting ways until whenever it is we'll see each other again, sometimes we'll get brunch the next morning and b.s. about our jobs and friends and whatnot. Or we don't. Whatever.
Since neither of us is looking for a "real" relationship with the other person, neither of us is particularly interested in finding out if the other is seeing anyone else. Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (8) | Blog
