When is an innapropriate question isn’t innapropriate?

Filed under: gay dating,Match.com for gays,Non Wedding — Tags: dating, dating advice, gay dating advice — rollerbladerdc @ 5:36 pm

Gay Dating – Meet Single Guys

I was seeing this guy and we ended up going to the actual step of real dating. We had also ended up starting to sleep with each other because we did become close and felt like it was moving forward nicely. We both liked each other a lot and we both felt really comfortable around each other. He is an awesome guy and he even came over without even knowing me to take care of me when I had the flu the other week. So why am I referring to him in the past tense? I ended up dumping him, we am breaking it off tomorrow when we are supposed to hang out again for another date. Here’s why.

The other night we were having sex and it was bugging me that I saw him on Manhunt. It shouldn’t have, because I was on there too, but it did make me want to ask how many people he had slept with since we met, especially because the two of us were getting serious. I thought the question was inappropriate when I thought of it, I knew he would as well, and because we were having sex it was probably the worst time to ask. Unfortunately I decided to ask anyways.

He responded by saying that is inappropriate and I shouldn’t be asking him that. Then I realized something after he said that. We finished having sex, took a shower and I decided it was over. Instead of our normal cuddling on the couch, I hurried him out and he looked confused as to why I was rushing him out. The thing is that when you are in a relationship or even dating someone, but you actually move it forward to where you are going out to meet each other’s friends, I think you have a right to know how many other people the person is sleeping with.

When you have sex with someone, you put yourself at risk. When you are getting close to becoming a couple, you need to be able to ask and know things about each other. Because he said he wouldn’t answer and that the question was inappropriate, I knew he was sleeping with other people which didn’t bug me. It’s the fact that he wouldn’t answer that made me dump him. Neither of us reached a point where we were ready to go monogamous so we are free to sleep with whoever and both of us have gone on other dates. However we were starting to move towards monogamy and I wanted to know how many other people there were or how many he has hooked up with. If he cannot answer that, then he is either not ready for a relationship or you can expect him to keep secrets from you.

I like honesty in a relationship and if someone can’t answer something that simple before you are in one, it isn’t going to be a good fit. I guess I am finally growing up. The sex is fun, he is an awesome guy, but if he won’t open up or be honest, it’ll never work. That is why I am breaking it off with him. It’s kind of funny how an inappropriate question can actually be a completely appropriate question and if the person won’t answer, then they are more than likely the type of person who will hide things from you and lie. That isn’t the type of person you should want in your life so if you want to know an answer to a question and he won’t answer, let him go. It’s not worth putting yourself through that, worrying, wondering and knowing he’s lying to you. You’ll eventually meet someone better who won’t do it and won’t be afraid to admit how many people they have been sleeping with, etc…

10 perfect ex boyfriend gifts for christmas and hanukah

Filed under: gag gifts,gay dating,Non Wedding — Tags: gag gifts, gifts for ex boyfriends, holiday gifts for ex boyfriends — rollerbladerdc @ 9:22 pm

I know you all wait for this post or tweet or share each year, but I was kind of scared to post today because I just met someone and we have another date tonight and tomorrow. He also knows I blog and is going to see this one. Because of that I was going to hold off, but at the same time, he should know that I have a dark sense of humor. Because of that, here are my top ten christmas gifts and hanukah gifts for ex boyfriends. Feel free to leave your own favorite gift in the comments section.

Nix Lice Treatment Family Pack – Works On Pubic Crabs Too!
1. Nix - This is the perfect holiday gift for an ex boyfriend who has a new boyfriend. Not only does nix “work on pubic lice too”, but this is the family sized version so he’s sure to have enough for that untrimmed bush. Let’s hope his new boyfriend loves seafood because with this gift, he’ll be “itching” for a claw craker and mallet.

Redneck Wine Glass
2. The mason jar wine glass set. The holidays are the perfect time to meet the family. Just so his new boyfriend knows what he’s getting into, let him know how classy the bitch is with these fabulous and glamorous, mason jar wine glasses. The only thing better is when he puts ice in his red wine or wants it chilled.

3. Another holiday favorite, the red ex boyfriend knife holder. Perfect for a reminder of how his ex’s feel, you’ll get your message across when he opens this fun houseware on the holidays. But don’t worry, it comes in festive colors like red or silver.

Ugly Children Gum

4. Ugly Children Bubblegum – Remember when you would sit up and think about how cute your kids were going to be? Let his new boyfriend know about these thoughts and that you wish them nothing but the best of luck with having a cute kid by sending him ugly children bubblegum to make sure his Quasimodo bastard child will be as ugly as his soul.

Instant Mullet W/ Headband 5. If the mason jar wine glasses weren’t enough of a warning, send him this instant mullet headband. When the new boyfriend watches him throw it on and get ready to party, he’ll have a better idea of why you broke up in the first place.

Smaller Condoms – Big Protection for Small Penises – $3.99
6. I always love when he waits for the fifth date, an anniversary or special occasion to have sex for the first time. I love to make an impression and get the “balls” rolling with his new boyfriend. That’s why it’s always fun to send them enough protection for even the “smallest” chance one of them would have something.

7. Speaking of small problems, why not help him clean that one up under his lip with cold sore cream and ointment. Nothing screams no more oral like a cold sore that doesn’t go away,,,or that his new boyfriend didn’t think to look for.

Douche Bag Gum
8. If you don’t think I’m one already, then why not let him know how you really feel. Send him douche bad gum so that when he goes to freshen his breath, everyone around him will know what to expect. Not to mention that he could really use the first word on the name tag as well. Let’s face it, his breath only stinks because of all the sh*t that comes out of it so a pack of “douche” bag gum is the perfect thing to freshen his breath.

Butt Pirate – A Vanilla Scented Anal Douche – $5.99
9. This is a fun one to send him with a note for his new boyfriend to let him know that he not only needs to clean out more, but also needs something scented and flavored to make it even slightly appealing to go down there. That’s why there’s butt pirate vanilla scented and flavored anal douches.

10. If you haven’t scared the new boyfriend off yet, try this to show him how psycho you are, and after that one leaves, make him look like a psycho when his next boyfriend finds the ex-boyfriend ashes money jar sitting in the kitchen or in his house.

Those are my top ten favorite ex boyfriend gifts for christmas and hanukah. Feel free to leave your own favorite in the comments section below. Let’s also hope my date doesn’t find this post before we go out tonight lol. Thank you again for reading and feel free to share this on twitter and facebook as well. If you need a coupon for any of the stores above, leave a comment and I’ll email one to you.

Autism Gifts for Boys – What to look for & How to Shop

Filed under: Non Wedding — Tags: autism, gifts for autistic boys, gifts for boys with autism — rollerbladerdc @ 3:25 pm

gifts for boys with autism

I recently ended up having the word Autism come into my life. My mom used to babysit for a kid who was Autistic, but I didn’t think I’d ever have to shop for a Gift for Boys with Autism. It turns out one of my friends sons has Autism and now I need to buy a gift for boys with Autism. I did some research and asked a few people and here is what I found out about how to shop and buy gifts for boys with Autism.

The first thing is to have a reputable store like this one. Every product is hand picked for effectiveness and if a product gets enough complaints, they instantly remove it from their store. The owner is also a well known Advocate for this disorder which helps to add to the reason I recommend them. By going through their site and by talking to some people, here are a few things I found to help you pick out the perefect gift for Autistic boys.

1. Does the gift solve the specific issue for the child.

The gift is only as good as it can help him. Talk to his parents and see what normally works. If he needs to calm down or has outbursts, weighted vests or blankets can be life savers. If he has trouble sitting still and focusing, sitting wedges and fidgets can potentially help with this. For toys and gifts for boys with Autism, think about the same things. How can the toy be fun so he’ll actually use and play with it and how can it solve an issue for him. Is it a game like Blunders that will help with social skills and communications while also being fun, or is it a cool lamp like the tranquil turtle that may help him calm down at night and fall asleep with the soothing colors and lights it projects. Find something that he’ll actually use and play with, that also solves a problem for him and you have an awesome gift.

2. Don’t worry about the age on the box.

Even if the gift is for someone 5 years younger, he may be developmentally at that level, or the toy could still be beneficial and entertaining for him. Think about his developmental age and not the age on the box and find something that is appropriate that way. You will want to ask his parents first just to double check before you buy the gift so that they don’t get mad you bought something more advanced or well below his age range. Sometimes seeing a gift is for little kids could upset him as well.

3. Make sure it is safe.

One thing you’ll want to do if he is opening presents is to make sure the toy you bought him is safe. In order for the toy to be safe you need to try and make sure it cannot be easily thrown or he can’t hit and hurt someone with it. It shouldn’t be able to be used to hurt him and there shouldn’t be things on it that he can use to possibly hurt someone else by accident if he has an outburst. Safety isn’t just age appropriate for toys, it’s also knowing the kid who is getting the gift and knowing what types of outbursts they have, how they react to different environments and also knowing what helps to keep them calm and happy.

I’m not a doctor and I don’t have any kids of my own, this is just from me reading online and finding what I think are good tips for shopping for toys for boys with Autism. If you need to buy gifts for Autistic Boys, click on the banner above or look at the widgets below. You’ll find a ton of fabulous gift ideas and if you click through to the store, you’ll be able to purchase those toys and a ton more. Thank you again for reading and if you have any other tips on buying gifts for boys with Autism, please feel free to share them below.

Tricks to Win Stonewall Kickball in DC & Cool Socks & More

Filed under: Non Wedding — Tags: DC Kicball, Kickball washington DC, Stonewall Kickball — rollerbladerdc @ 2:05 pm

Stonewall Kickball in Washington DC has taken off like crazy. This past Fall Sunday league sold out in under an hour with 400+ spaces going. You now have to prep ahead, hope the server doesn’t crash and actually know someone to be able to get a spot on a team. It’s almost as popular as the Miss Adams Morgan Pageant each halloween. If you’re able to get on a team for Sunday kickball, that’s one thing, the next thing is knowing how to play and then how to play well and win. You also have to figure out how to accessorize and show off because Stonewall Kickball in Washington DC is more than just a game, it’s now a thing where you go to make friends and compete. You’ll see everything from multicolored socks to pom poms and tons of booty shorts. Here are five tricks to help you win and look amazing at Stonewall Kickball in Washington DC.

1. Learn to bunt.

Bunting is sort of stupid, but if no one is on second base it can almost guarantee you get on first. If they throw the ball to first (which the pitcher or third base person almost always will), anyone on third will be able to make it home if the person on first base misses the catch. Here is a trick on bunting to third.

Don’t swing your leg like a kick and do not put pressure or force from your leg on the ball. Instead, turn your foot to the side, angle it so you may a 45 to 90 degree angle with third base and then push the ball with your foot or tap it but aim from the top half of the ball 1/2 way between the top of the ball and the center of the ball. This helps keep it on the ground, from going straight to the person on third base and makes either the pitcher, third baseman or catcher have to run opening up bases and helping you get to first and your team score if you have someone on third base.

Kickball socks

2. Look fabulous and find socks to match.

One thing that has become a huge trend in Stonewall Kickball in Washington DC is having insane and fun socks. Most teams have socks already picked out as part of their uniform, but a few of us like to take them even further. You could go somewhere boring like American Apparel where everyone else goes, or you can go somewhere that has awesome socks that not many other people will have, will match your shirt and shorts and will stand out. This is my favorite socks shop online. You can also click on any of the socks images below to go to the store and shop.

3. Pitching and Kicking

Some pitchers throw really fast and bouncy balls. Others throw it curved and a few of them will roll it softly towards you. Watch the ball and don’t be afraid to walk to first. If the pitcher is trying to throw the ball, chances are you could end up getting 4 balls and walking to first. There is nothing wrong with that. You won’t be sweaty and stink at JRs, your team will be happy you got on first and you won’t risk getting your socks dirty so you can show them off later. If you’re pitching and want to learn how to really throw the ball or make it pass right in between the 1 foot mark so you can mess up the kicker, find a lesbian and go bowling.

Bowling is the same as pitching in Kickball. Bowling will help you learn how to control the ball when you pitch. It’ll help strengthen your arm and get you used to controlling the ball. You’ll be able to aim the ball within the strike zone more easily and eventually be able to make the ball roll from outside the strike zone to the inside which will mess up the person kicking and make it harder for them to kick the ball and score. If you want to learn how to pitch or get better at pitching, go bowling and practice. It’ll help you a lot more than just practicing once or twice before a game.

4. Act queeny and kick their ass

If you act queeny and drunk, the team won’t expect that you can kick or catch. This only works once during a game, so make sure you don’t over do it. If you can kick well, act like a queen and then boot the hell out of it. You may want to purposely kick a couple balls foul first and make it look like you kicked hard (turn your foot to the side to use the top of your shoe above your toes so it won’t travel far) and then boot the ball when you get a good pitch. It’ll take the outfield off guard and help get you a good chance at getting to second, third or home.

5. Have fun

The most important thing about playing in Stonewall Kickball in DC is that you are supposed to have fun. Some teams are way to competitive and they can F off. The whole point is to have fun and to meet new people. Don’t take the game to seriously and go for drinks after. JRs has drink specials and then everyone goes to Cobalt to play flip cup, beer pong and dance. Stonewall Kickball in DC is just a game and you are there to have fun. Don’t take it to seriously.

If you have any other tips or tricks to playing Stonewall Kickball in Washington DC, feel free to leave a comment below. Also, don’t forget to shop for new socks and some of the other crap that I found below. I also have coupons for each of the stores if you want them. Just leave a comment and I’ll email them to you.

Top or Bottom – What’s Missing from Match.com for Gays

Filed under: gay dating,Match.com for gays,Non Wedding — Tags: gay matchmaking, match.com for gay people, match.com for gays — rollerbladerdc @ 3:41 pm

Match.com coupons

I recently signed up for Match.com to see if they could actually help me find true love. Although I have gone on a ton of dates, the one or two people that I really liked and that liked me ended up not being compatible with me because of sexual positions. The thing is that although Match.com has an awesome screening process and a great selection of guys, they unfortunately don’t have it set up for gay people. Gay people need certain other matching qualities and characteristics that have to be defined to properly match a gay couple. One of the most important is asking if you are a Top or a Bottom or actually Versatile. Although this may make it seem like a hookup site, it actually wouldn’t make it a hookup site but a more powerful tool for people seeking love.

The worst thing to find out what I met this one guy is that we are both tops and rarely ever want to switch. Although we would have gotten along as friends, we already built an emotional bond, but neither of us would always or regularly bottom, no matter how much we liked each other. If Match.com for gays would add in a few things like a field that asks Top, Bottom or Versatile, this could add to the matching process based on preferred positions and sexual compatibility. Straight people don’t have to worry about this since they have different parts, but for Match.com for gay people, this is something they should really consider. A second thing to consider is race and gender preference.

Although I have no issues with any one of any race or gender preference, I am simply not attracted to some people and to transgendered people. Unfortunately Match.com for Gay people does not allow me to filter them out from my searches or for the daily matches they send me. Not only would this help them to send me people I may be interested in, but it would create a much better user experience. What if someone saw my picture but I had no interest, or vice versa, based on race or gender, getting rejection after rejection could create a negative experience and cost them money. Match.com for gay people should really consider adding in gender and race filters.

One last thing that Match.com for gays should think about is adding status. Many gay sites have positive, unsure, negative or something else like they don’t want to say or undetectable. Although straight people may not think about this as much, gay people do. If positive people are looking for other positive people or a negative person has no desire, this could be another great filter that doesn’t waste peoples’ time. If Match.com for gays would add this in they could really match people closer on if they are opened to dating someone who is poz, opposed to it or would think about it.

The truth is that Match.com for gay people is a great service. The problem is that Match.com for gays doesn’t have the extra things that are important for gay people who are looking for relationships and love. If Match.com for gay people would add in these extra things, they could easily become one of the best matchmaking services for gay people around.

Social Media Facebook Shower Curtain In Stock

Filed under: gag gifts,Non Wedding,Wedding Gift — Tags: facebook shower curtain, social media shower curtain, wedding gifts — rollerbladerdc @ 3:20 pm

social media facebook shower curtain

I found this social media Facebook shower curtain on a website recently and had to share it with all of you. I know it isn’t technically a wedding related gift or even related to gay weddings, but it is the perfect gift for the fun younger couple who likes to be hip or trendy. The social media shower curtain or Facebook shower curtain is the perfect gift for back to school for college students as well as housewarming gifts for homeowners and even first apartments. Everyone will love the funny comments on the the design like the basin wanting to be unblocked and the joke posted by the bath tub. The see through top left corner for your face is also a funny thing and also somewhat functional if someone is in the bathroom and you are trying to talk to them. Although I do post about things for your house or wedding gifts sometimes, this is an odd one because I haven’t seen anything like it before.

I’ve seen the subway map ones, the ones that hold photos and ones that have a ton of pockets to hold all of your toiletries, but the social media facebook shower curtain is just really cool. I think I like it more than the fun paintings ones like classic works from Monet, Van Gogh and other famous artists. I personally grew out of the fun curtain stage a few years ago and now only hang cloth ones with nice patterns and colors, but I could definitely see myself wanting to have or ending up remembering to buy the facebook shower curtain for a guest bathroom since you can have a bit more fun with those. The facebook shower curtain is also perfect for kids bathrooms.

They’ll love showing it off to their friends and they’ll probably end up actually posting about it with a picture on Facebook or sharing it on Twitter. It’s kind of funny how something that you buy as a spoof ends up on the actual thing or website as a serious post or tweet. That’s why I sort of love the social media shower curtain. It is a fun impulse buy that I think just about everyone would love. It also makes a great housewarming, apartment warming or back to school gift for college students. Click on the link or image in this post and you’ll be taken to Amazon where you can find this facebook shower curtain and even though it may say out of stock, if you look below you’ll see that there are a few new ones in stock that you are able to buy.

Occupy DC Should Be Ashamed Of Themselves with Anti-Gay Marching

Filed under: Non Wedding — Tags: gay rights, OccupyDC, washington dc — rollerbladerdc @ 3:55 pm

The other night there was a silent march here in Washington DC because of an increase in violent hate crimes against gay people. DC is in my opinion one of the most gay friendly cities in the country and that is one of the reasons I love living here. When the three gay bashings happened, everyone was in shock. One person was stabbed, another was shot and the third had their jaw broken in two places. All of them were beaten and it was because they were gay. As a way to show that we’re still here and not afraid, Patrick Pressman organized a silent march through one of the neighborhoods to 17th street where the violence had happened. 500+ people showed up including DC council members to show their support for the gay community in Washington DC.

The march was off to a great start. Marchers walked arm and arm through the street with colored duct tape wrapped around their arms forming a long chain of a rainbow flag. The silent march for anti-gay hate crimes and violence was making a statement and even the police blocked off streets. The silent march was getting it’s message across in a professional and dramatic positive way until the Occupy DC idiots came in and tried to make their cause be known.

Occupy DC is a failed attempt with no real cause, support or purpose and that is why they feel the need to latch on to any group that has any attention. This march was about remembrance, gay rights and non violence. It was a silent march to show our support and emotion to the people who were attacked and the OccupyDC people lined up after the parade and started chanting and making a ton of noise. Not only did they try to take away from a community that was showing it’s support for themselves, but I feel they insulted the people who were attacked by trying to make it a political thing that has nothing to do with anti-gay hate crimes. OccupyDC has done nothing to help DC.

Instead they destroyed a park that I used to love to go to lunch in with their tents. They made an eye sore of the square and made it uncomfortable to walk through for the people who work in the area and actually go to work and pay taxes to be able to enjoy the park. When they decided to make a mockery of a silent march in remembrance of people who were attacked for being gay, that is where I draw the line.

I encourage every person in Washington DC to write to our city council and demand they remove these OccupyDC people from our parks and I hope that if you are gay and you are against GLBT hate crimes, you never support OccupyDC again. In my opinion they have done nothing and now that they are destroying and mocking other people’s causes. Please help get the word out to get rid of OccupyDC by writing about taking our parks back by writing to your council members and tweet and share this post on Facebook.

All natural dead sea skin care acne products

dead sea acne face mask

I was recently in Vegas at a marketing, blogging and social media conference and I ran into a company called Natural Care. Natural care is a company that only sells extremely high quality, all natural dead sea skin care products. Although it was a little insulting to have the owner walk up and tell me my skin had issues, but when he gave me some free samples on what would fix them almost instantly I decided to use them to prove him wrong.

The first product he gave me was this dead sea face mask for acne. The package was fairly large and held about 4 masks in it. The mask is extremely dark green and smells a little funky, but I always love to try new skin care products, even though I have allergies to scents, so I opened it and also had a friend try it out.

When I first put it on it was a lot thicker than the masks I love from Mario Badescu. Although I will never give up my love for the Mario Badescu Cucmber Tonic Mask and never stop using it, this other mask is a good contender to replace other products I had been using. When I put the mask on it started to instantly tingle and somewhat burn in certain spots. That’s when I realized that this is a mask that can also help to treat acne and the spots that were burning a little bit (not in a bad way but a way that you know something is happening) were exactly where I was having issues with acne. It shocked me at first to feel the burning because I wasn’t expecting it but when I remember that it could be used to help acne, I was ok with it. It’s kind of funny how these dead sea acne face masks can act so differently on so many different people because my friend felt no stinging whatsoever. Then again, he had clear skin already.

When I took the mask off my face didn’t feel much different and I couldn’t see any immediate difference, unlike my Mario Badescu masks, however the next day my acne had pretty much disappeared. I didn’t notice by that evening it was much less visible, but not completely gone. The next day, my face was clear and when I used it a second time, my face was compeltely clear on the third day. It was amazing.

Although I will never give up certain mario badescu products, if I ever need to clear my face quickly and with something that doesn’t affect my skin with scents and perfumes, I will be using the Natural Care all natural dead sea acne face masks instead of the products I used to use. I highly recommend them and if you want to see their entire line, visit NaturalCare.net.
