Does Your Ex “Owe” You Something After A Nasty Breakup?
I usually don’t find myself cheering for lawsuits, but this one is an exception: a jilted bride from Chicago is suing her ex-fiancé for the costs of the wedding after he cheated on her at his Las Vegas during his bachelor party and then called the wedding off when he got caught.
Pardon my ‘90s expression, but “You go, girl!”
After discovering he’d screwed another chick in Vegas during his bachelor party, Lauren Serafin of Chicago is suing her ex-fiancé, Robert Leighton, for a cool $62,814 — the cost of their cancelled wedding and honeymoon.
According to Lauren’s lawsuit, while celebrating his bachelor party in Vegas in August 2010, Robert allegedly met a woman named Danielle at a nightclub and they went back to a hotel room for sex. But like an idiot, this chick had Robert’s cell phone number and she started texting him. Four days after Robert had returned home from his bachelor weekend, Lauren discovered texts from Danielle on his cell phone. Robert denied cheating at first — sigh, they always do! — but then told Lauren he was calling the wedding off. (Lauren somehow communicated with Danielle also, and she claimed Robert had never even mentioned he’d been engaged. Klassy!)

Payday!: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Time to save?
I am so glad this day has arrived. Payday.
I’ve been struggling to make it to the end of the month and trying hard to not use my credit cards as a bridge. And I made it.
What made this month tough was a few unpaid sick days, that really cuts into the take-home pay.
How are you financially? If you’re past being a first-time dater and are old enough to know better, do you? It’s hard to grasp a hold of your finances sometimes but you should be working to manage a sound grip on the bills and obligations you have.
I’ve heard that you need at least $1.3 million in cash, investments and properties to be able to retire comfortably these days. Mostly because you’re going to live so long.
You don’t want to outlive your money do you?
When the bills are taken care of your stress level lowers and you can have fun in your life without the worry.
Match this with today’s headline suggestion:
“Not rich but in comfortable comfort.”

Dear Wendy: “Should I Warn My Friend About His Cheating Ex?”
I found out recently that my friend “Samanatha” cheated on her ex-boyfriend “Brad” when they were still dating. When I asked Samantha about it, she immediately denied it, but I’ve known her long enough to tell she was lying. Plus, the guy she slept with has absolutely no reason to lie to me about it. She and Brad are now broken up, but when he’s in town he stays at her place and they sleep together.
She’s cheated on him in the past with a different guy and Brad forgave her. It was one of those things that’s understandable (while totally not right) because Samantha’s mom told her that if she wasn’t engaged she could have more than one boyfriend.
It’s common knowledge that Samantha is completely hung up on Brad still and will take any chance to get back together with him. We’re talking saying things like “I’ll wear him down one day and we’ll just get married.” Brad is a really nice but passive guy.
Plus, he doesn’t want to lose the guaranteed sex. The chance of them getting back together is fairly high, so I’m wondering if I should tell Brad now about the cheating, wait to see if they get back together, or just keep quiet? Brad is like a brother to me and I don’t like seeing him get hurt over and over again. — Trying Not to Meddle

Dealbreaker: He Made Me Mail My Half Of The Bill
I met Donny* for a drink at 6 p.m. on a Sunday. When I walked into the deserted restaurant, soaked from the downpour outside, I didn’t know he was destined to become the pettiest, stingiest and most pitiable man I’ve ever gone out with.
Do people now ask for their money back from dates, as if they’ve purchased a defective toaster from a department store? Was this a new trend?
I re-joined OKCupid after several weeks of TV and tear-soaked tissues. I was—okay, still am—mourning the loss of an amazing relationship. Being in love with your ex is more conducive to eating delivered Thai food and watching movies in your pajamas, but I resolved to try dating again anyway. Not to find a new boyfriend, but to show myself I was strong, that I wasn’t waiting for a reunion that might never come, that I actually still had the capacity to find other men attractive.

It’s Up To Fate: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Wednesday
Do you believe that the “vibes” someone sends out can be an attractive or negative part of the primal communication we still have from our ancestors (usually called body language)?
Sure you do, it’s a basic instinct that’s very hard to override or ignore.
Online dating doesn’t have that obstacle with our communications, other than “reading between the lines” and deciding that someone is likely lying about themselves in their profile.
How often do you read a profile and automatically decide that person isn’t for you?
I suggest to you that you give these types of people the benefit of the doubt and offer at least a short “Hello” letter to get a better feeling if they are really not for you.
Sometimes it is true that “opposites attract” and if you’re quickly saying no to someone without regard of even a short note, how will you know if you’re right?
Online dating services all use a variety of ways to connect you with the “right match” but it’s true that if the right person is found on one service you’re likley to not find them on a second service that they also belong to. There are different variables at work, just like in real life, and making that connection isn’t always up to you, it’s more up to fate but you can give fate a nudge easily with just one message.
I’m going to boldly say that you are in the right place, it is the right time, so give fate a nudge.
You’re dating headline for today is this (many thanks to Elvis Costello!):
“My aim is true.”
Have a great day!
This video is the song “Alison” by Elvis Costello, live. If you get the opportunity add this song to your collection of love ballads. (You do have such a collection, don’t you?)
Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Tuesday
You’re still here, that’s a good thing, I’m sure, because life is a continuous march towards happiness and you’ll only know you’re there after you’ve left it behind.
Don’t we learn things in odd ways sometimes?
I mean, we usually learn by example, that’s how it’s done as children, but as we get older the curve should get easier to understand the world around us but for some reason the reality of how people interact often eludes us. Do you follow what I mean?
Dating sometimes becomes a real mess because the “rules of dating” that we learned in our youth are often not what the “rules of dating” are later in life.
Just like people that wear sandals most of the time forget how to tie their shoelaces up, we miss opportunities to mingle because we’re not sure which foot to put forward anymore.
This is why dating services like “Meetup.com” work so well for a lot of people: they place you in a shared experience rather than under the microscope.
I’m often reminded of what I was told as a young shopper, that quality will be remembered long after the dollar spent is forgotten.
Today let’s share an experience with our dating headline, maybe a survey-type headline will do:
“Have you ever found a bug in your food?”
Have a great day!
Girl Talk: I Have Post-Traumatic Dating Disorder
Last night, I sat with my iPhone out on my bedside table. I was staring at it waiting for the text box to light up. It was an hour before my second (damn) date with Mark*, the best date-asker-outer known to woman. Although Mark had confirmed our date, even told me what time he would text me and offered to pick me up at my place, I couldn’t stop the dark cloud from approaching overhead.
Love is a war that enacts violence on your heart. After so many years, I’ve ceased to be able to imagine peace. I am ruled by fear. My heart exists in a state of panic.

April Fools: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Monday
Today, if you’re like me, we start the chase to the weekend again. Almost seems like we’ve done this before! :0
It is going to be an exciting week, it’s only a few days until it’s April Fool’s Day, so I have to get my plans in action.
With the technology that’s available with a few clicks and a couple of dollars, the potential for pulling off some good pranks go beyond what could have been accomplished a decade ago.
My favorites are:
- If you’re in retail, or have a friend that is, setting them up for a prank customer compliment and a lottery win at the same time is easy and fun. This is how it’s done: You’ll need a “Thank You” greeting card, or just write a thank you note on a piece of paper and stuff it in an envelope with one of those fake winning lottery tickets. Make sure the card and “gift” is left for them where ever a customer would drop off something for a staff member and your victim won’t figure it out for at least a few hours giving you some nice laughs.
- Using a “spoof card” phone calling card you can call anyone and have the caller ID display anything you want, so you can really trick someone into anything. I like calling from a tow truck business saying their car has been towed. You can even hack into someone’s voicemail an chnage their recorded message… just so much fun to have for a few dollars!
So you can see there are some great pranks easily done.
Back to my suggested headline for your dating profile, today maybe try this one:
“No April Fools here!”
Have a great day!
Getting Even For An April Fool’s Day Prank
The Revenge Guy
Everyone has their own “fear point”, that is, exposure to a situation that creates the fear that scares them the most. Often people don’t even know what that point is until they’re confronted by it.
This isn’t what April Fool’s Day is about, really. A simple prank is what you do on April Fool’s Day, trick someone into doing something stupid, humiliating even. But no harm.
Switch their mouse buttons around, order them 10 pizzas from 10 different delivery stores. Foolish stuff like that.
But some people don’t know that and they cross the line with their “harmless prank”. These people need to learn a lesson.
From here I have some entertaining stories to share with you, go ahead and visit my website and also stop by my favorite revenge online solution www.RevengeCall.com
You’ll know what to do.
(Disclaimer: Entertainment only, life should be funny.)
What Makes A Great First Date?
Awful first dates (and second dates … and third dates …) are The Frisky’s bread and butter. But every so often the goddesses smile upon us and we’re blessed with a first date to call your mom about instead of your therapist.
Not to brag or anything, but I had a kickass first date this weekend. We went to the Bronx Zoo together and he didn’t run for the hills when I tried to climb into the red panda cage and give it a hug. Then he asked if I wanted to get dinner, so we took the subway all the way downtown to my favorite Venezuelan restaurant. We got some Starbucks, sat in a park talking, and finally saw a movie together before heading our separate ways.
I didn’t want it to end!
