They say the 1st step to recovery is admitting you have a problem, so that’s why I’m here. Currently, I have about a decade and a half of experience in adult dating with no clear end in sight. In this time I have accumulated countless stories and insights on the subject dating. Some stories are humorous, while others are heart-breaking, but they are ALL 100% honest (except for names, which have been changed to help protect the identities of everyone involved). My hope is that readers will find the stories insightful and that putting my thoughts into words will help me in breaking the cycle of my addiction.
My posts can be broken down into these categories:
1. Date-isms (theories from years of dating experience from someone who paid attention)
2. EX-Factor (significant relationships of the past)
3. Recent Happenings (the most recent progressions and transgressions)
4. Reflections (my innermost thoughts in current time)
Hope you find the posts insightful. Thank you for your support!
Dax, I cannot wait to read your blog! Your truthfulness is inspiring!
I am on the same page as ‘J’ – I need some insightfulness. Thanks!

Love the categories, way to organize – brillant!
It’s a constant work in progress. Thanks for reading!
First of all thanks for liking my post and commenting on it (one about me hooking up with an elementary school teacher).
Also, how much experience do you have with PUAs and other things like that?
I found out about PUA and their “techniques,” but I certainly wouldn’t put myself in that category. From what I’ve read (which I’ll admit, isn’t a ton) there is a lot of gamesmanship in their approach. I feel my approach is more straightforward and genuine. A true PUA would probably say what I do is too basic, but I consider myself an honest guy and trying to fake that wouldn’t be me and would come off as phony. My intentions haven’t always been 100% on the up and up, but I’ve never used games in my approach. When I get the chance, I’ll post more about this. Thanks for the question!
Recognising the patterns we slip into and where they originate are the first steps towards finding useful, healthy exits – good luck

Thanks much for following. I certainly hope I’m on the right track this time. Stay tuned!
I made it my goal this month to discover a new blog/blogger friend every day. While searching for “dating advice” I found Dream Body, which led me to you. So, as it’s my life and my rules, I get to choose two new blogs today. I just started reading a bit about you and I am overjoyed to read your dating stories. It’s nice to hear a man’s perspective! My girlfriends and I discuss our humorous and heart-breaking stories, but I have yet to find a guy who is so forthcoming! Looking forward to being a loyal follower!
Wow, thanks so much for following and the huge compliment! My posts are building up for my next story, so keep stopping back. Hope you continue to enjoy what I have to write!
When you say adult dating, you don’t mean like “adult” dating as in dating adult film chicks as in porn stars? Just curious.
Ha! No reference to porn stars at all! I refer to adult dating as a way of distinguishing between dating now (as an adult) as apposed to my youth dating years as a teenager. Hope that clarifies for any others that may have had the same misunderstanding!
Lol ok cool. I don’t think there’s a misunderstanding. I was just reading too much into it.
I really enjoy reading your blog and I want to ask you a question, what are your thoughts on Long Distance Relationships. If you’ve posted about it, I must have missed it. I don’t know if you have experience in LDRs but it would be nice to hear your thoughts on that type of a relationship.
Thanks!
Hey, great question! If you read about my relationship with Heather, that was long distance. Also, I had a relationship that was long distance (four hours away) for a year before she ended up moving to the city I was in (and it lasted over two more years after she moved to the area). I haven’t written that ex-factor post yet, so stay tuned! Anyway, I have no problems with long distance relationships as long as there is an end point to that situation. You have to be the judge on how much time away is too much time. Lots of factors are involved in that! Let me know if you want to know any more. Thanks!
Thanks for the reply! I personally would like to hear more and I’m also sure some of the other followers might be as well. I’m tuned and ready for whatever you write next; keep up the good work!
Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoy the blog. I promise to write about this, hopefully in the next week or two. Thanks for following along!
