The Pick Up Lines

This past weekend, I was super excited to partake in one of Boystown’s newest Night Life Attractions: The Pick Up Line! The “Pick Up Line” is a free trolley service that was created to encourage local nightlife seekers to adventure out on foot and safely enjoy the many bars and restaurants along Santa Monica Boulevard. Once on board, we were instantly greeted by a friendly driver, thumping dance music and shoved into a mass of good-looking men. “I have died and gone to heaven,” I instantly think. Read more

How to Avoid Dating a Self-Obsessed Nightmare

These days you don’t have to look far to find arrogant people, full of their own self-importance. One place in particular that appears to be packed with these self-obsessed jerks is Beverly Hills, California. I had the misfortune of encountering one of them the other day, while patiently waiting to get out of a parking garage.

Stop Playing Dating Games

Let me ask you a few questions… Have you ever ignored a guy’s text message? Have you ever dropped his calls so you looked busy? Have you put off a date because you told him you were double-booked? Be honest. How many times have you done one of these things? You waited until his third missed call before you bothered to reply to him. You spoke to your friends and they told you to play it cool, and don’t show you’re interested in him. You met a man you liked, and even though he asked you out, you told him you were busy. You wanted to make him wait for you. What happened in the end? He never tried asking you out again. If you really want to find love, you have to stop playing those dating games! Read more

Popcorn for One

In the city of West Hollywood, there is always a multitude of things to do at any given hour of the day. From brunch to shopping, spa appointments to happy hour; one could entertain a small group of tourists without ever leaving the city limits. A quick glance of my daily calendar reads like a 6-year-olds play date schedule: “10am brunch with Adam,” “12pm Boot Camp with Valerie” “3pm Mani/Pedi with Klarissa” At first glance, you would think that this is a fabulous day of pampering and life balance. But a second look reminds me that something very crucial is missing from the picture… “Me” Read more

Why Isn’t He Getting Hard For Me?

Have you ever been going down on a guy, and suddenly you start to realize he’s not getting hard for you? I bet there were a hundred things going through your mind at that point. “Why isn’t he turned on by me? What am I doing wrong? Isn’t he attracted to me anymore?” I was talking to a client of mine about this the other day. He asked me, “David, sometimes a woman will be going down on me and I won’t be able to get hard. I’m fine when we’re having sex. What’s wrong with me? Has it happened to you before?” I couldn’t help but smile and say, “Yes. It’s happened to me more than once too!” Read more
