This is the final chapter in the Despair series. This was the final straw that led to me feeling a complete loss of hope. To summarize, I was the Last Man Standing among my friends, I realized I had Wasted Time, and I figured out that the Next One Could Be the Last. I would recommend…
Any guy who has been friend zoned or who falls under the “nice guy” category has, at some point, heard the phrase “I just don’t see you that way” uttered to him at some point. If this was simply a story of one of the times I heard that phrase, it would bore you to…
This is the story about what happened to me about a year after The Worst Blow-Off Ever (read that HERE). What happens when you’ve been blown off in the worst way possible and she comes back? Ignore her! What she did was unforgivable! Or not… I was on a quest to find someone special I…
She was gorgeous. She was cool as hell. Tall and slender, but with all the right curves. Her blue eyes sparkled and her blonde hair bounced free. This was the kind of girl who would live on in my spank bank forever. Typically, a girl like this would only live in my spank bank. For…
Of all my mishaps, this is the one that bothers me most. It was #1 in my Top 5 Biggest Mishaps (read that HERE). This one is so huge for me because for three years I worked towards getting my moment with Dream Girl…and when I finally did, I blew it big time. Entering 10th…

They still exist in television and movies, but reality is much harsher. Yes, it seems like we live in an era that wooing a girl with…
I’ll start this one with the ending: we didn’t click and it didn’t work out. No crazy mishap, no funny story, but the meat of it all was how we met. To be more specific, how we reconnected after 15 years. This was one of the best how we met stories I have had in…
This is part 3 in the 4 part story of how I came to feel despair. Read Part 1 HERE, and Part 2 HERE. If you’re in your twenties, you may not understand this, but at a certain age, you realize that the next person you connect with could be “the one.” If she is The…
