Backstory: At the ripe old age of 24, my Jewish mother is concerned that I will never meet my nice Jewish husband.. Apparently a visit to Barnes & Noble is exactly what I need.

“How to Shop For A Husband” by Janice Leiberman.
I was told that it is a good read. Might be worth having coffee and reading in the store.

They Are Old!

Postcards From Yo Momma — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 15:00:43 +0000

Backstory: A lot of my friends have been dating older men lately and mom wanted to make sure I didn’t follow their lead.

If you meet a man that is 40+ (even at church- HA) please take off your heels and run very fast in the opposite direction….. they may or may not have money. They may adore you (because you ar fun and 25 years old), but guess what? They are old! They will be 60 when you are 45 years old.

Love, Mom

“Free Communication Weekend”

Postcards From Yo Momma — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 15:00:07 +0000

Backstory: My boyfriend and I have been together 4 years. My mom feels he’s an underachiever. My mom feels that even IF he did propose, he wouldn’t be able to give me the life that “I” (read: she) would want. Also, my 30th birthday is in mere days and this to her renders me a lukewarm commodity in the dating sphere.

Mom: Hey, I just heard it’s “free communication weekend” on eHarmony. Just saying…
Me: uh…I’m not single. Isn’t that like false advertising?
Mom: Can you say “it’s complicated” like on Facebook?
Me: Uh… I don’t think so… I think if you’re on that site, it’s pretty much like you’re single and looking for a date.
mom: Well, he said you could start looking if he didn’t propose by June, and next weekend will be July;-)
Me: true… but I have a problem with looking while we’re still together.
Mom: Ok, I just thought “free weekend”.

The Non-Dating Life

Postcards From Yo Momma — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 20:02:09 +0000

Backstory: My father died 12 years ago and my mom never dated after his death.

Thought you would get a kick out of this – I sold a house last October to a young girl – her father talked to me a year or so ago and thought I was a good agent – so they came to me and I helped them – make a long story short – I thought he liked me and he took me out to dinner and lunch a couple times – just very friendly – I like him as a friend – I talked to his daughter tonight who asked me if I had good gaydar – daddy’s gay – I kind of thought he was sort of effenimate – a visiting nurse – but again, to make a long story short – THE ONLY MAN WHO HAS EVER ASKED ME OUT TO LUNCH OR DINNER IS GAY!!!

Mom: SOOOOO glad I’m not 25! SOOOOO glad!

Loving Childhood Leads to Dating Losers?

Postcards From Yo Momma — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 14:30:19 +0000

Backstory: Bringing a new guy home for the weekend. Mom is unsure, considering my long history of questionable companions.

Maybe you should see someone to find out why you think you need to be with loosers. Does it stem from something from your childhood? We loved you so much and tried to protect you by not letting you do much, I hope it’s not from that

Backstory: I dated brothers, years apart and rather unsuccessfully. When it was clear that things weren’t going to work out with brother #2, my mom consoled me with this gem of advice.

Mom: Let them eat saltiness
Mom: Saltines
Me: What do you mean by let them eat sardines?
Mom: Saltines. White bread crackers
Me: I still am not getting it. What do the saltines represent?
Mom: Let them eat cake was wrong but they need commoner food
Mom: They need a bland, non exciting, non high maintenance woman. As Marie Antionette said. Let them eat cake. But I changed it.

Second Date Suggestions

Postcards From Yo Momma — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:03:59 +0000

Backstory: I went to a Jewish speed dating event and went out with a couple guys as a result, but told my mom I didn’t think I was interested. We had a day-long email debate about whether I should give one of them another chance, and when I finally gave in and said i’d try a second date, she sent me this.

Is there any chance you can go somewhere besides a bar? Where does he live? Would he be interested in the opera? What about a concert? Could you run around the park together?

Is it up to him to propose a venue for the next date?

Have you Googled him? Maybe you can find out something you have in common.
