Help your friends help you
I love matchmakers. I love the idea of it setting people up and watching them fall in love. I love the people who do it -- the clucking yentas and the sleek Alicia Silverstone types and all of the amateurs in between. I've even tried it; I'm 0 for 37. Yes, I suck.
Dropping pounds along with an ex
The truth is, I haven't been to the gym in over six months; my membership got cancelled in August, along with The (Ex) Boyfriend. And yet the number on the scale today is finally -- FINALLY -- the same as it was when I first moved to New York a little over two years ago. What happened?

Got a suggestion for a great date in Connecticut? Romantic restaurant? Picnic in the park? Monster truck rally? Share your ideas.

For romantic dates the best place is The Litchfield Saltwater Grille. It is new in the location of the old Chucks Steak house. The chef usually sends out a complimentry amuse bouche. It's a great place to impress a date and the wine list is very good.
