DAY ONE
10:30 a.m.: He calls me from work, and I ignore the call on purpose to seem not so interested. He’s 19, and I’m 29. This is my tactic to keep him interested and wondering what I’m doing.
10:33 a.m.:: Two minutes later I feel stupid for not answering his call because I really want to hear his voice. I contemplate on whether to return his phone call, but don’t.
5 p.m.: I return his call, knowing he’s not going to answer because he is on the train coming home from work. I leave him a voice mail asking him to call me back when he hears this. I wish he would come over tonight, but he’s very inconsistent.

DAY ONE
7:05 a.m.: Wake up an hour before alarm, ugh. I need to pee.
7:10 a.m.: Once the morning wood deflates, I climb down stairs from my loft bed, put on boxers, and scurry out of apartment into hallway to the shared bathroom.
7:45 a.m.: Making yummy omelette with hot peppers when I hear sounds of flip-flops flip-flopping from the hall. I look through the peephole with a clear view of hallway to the shared shower hoping for Hot Neighbor in apartment #4 or guy above me in #10. Nope, it’s just Cliff.

DAY ONE
10:13 a.m.: Co-worker from my part-time job resurfaces from her walk of shame and begins to give me details of her date last night. I am living vicariously through her. I walk away before I get TMI (too much information).
12:04 p.m.: Working out at the gym during lunch has sufficed to get rid of my sexual frustration, since I don’t seem to do sex lately. I’ve only slept with one guy and am singly in pursuit of lucky number two. The gym provides eye candy, although working out in the theater district leaves me constantly questioning what team they’re on.
12:23 p.m.: Male co-worker is scoping me out as I am elliptical-ing and wording lines to myself to memorize my audition for the end of the week. He asks me if I’m working later. I would probably hook up with him if he didn’t already have a kid.

6 a.m.: Potential BF arrives smelling like truffle oil. He suggests he shower, I respond by yanking him on top of me. He tastes like red wine. Excellent sex ensues.

DAY ONE
8:32 p.m.: I am sitting at the Union Square Starbucks fidgeting, and avoiding eye contact of a brunette, who seems to be tirelessly staring at me.
8:47 p.m.: Brunette left. I’m too lazy to hunt these days. Today the doe lives. The alpha male retreats. I’ve been single for two years or so. I’ve dated a lot, but I’m single. I just want someone to wake up to on a daily basis.
10:30 p.m.: In bed. Thinking of Ashley, a girl I dated for four months. We have not spoken for about five years. I think she didn’t trust me. Or thought maybe that I was unreliable. She’s my One Who Got Away. I wanted a life with that woman. Something tells me she is lonely. Very lonely. Obviously.

DAY ONE
10 p.m.: Banker Guy, a friend I sporadically spoon with, calls me. He’s just left work, which I find ridiculous. Inform him that I’m going to picket his company headquarters in a “Free Banker Guy” T-shirt. Make vague plans to hang out.
11 p.m.: Turns out Banker Guy and I are headed to the same NYU dorm. Hug hello awkwardly in front of ten of his friends. Before splitting up, we make tentative late-night plans. I get the feeling he’s going to flake.
12:30 a.m.: Cute friend comes over to my place. Hangs with my gay roomie and me. I’m tipsy after one glass of Champagne. Make a joke about sleeping with cute friend. He kindly rejects me: “That would be letting the rumor mill win.” Apparently, people already think he’s a notch on my bedpost.
3 a.m.: Cute friend leaves. Sadly, our friendship will not be heading toward the bedroom anytime soon.
3:15 a.m.: Banker Guy texts, “Sorry babe.” Knew it.

DAY ONE
6:15 a.m.: Fire alarm goes off in my apartment because my ex, who still lives here, left the stove eye on all night after cooking. Scared the shit out of me! Thankfully, all was fine.
9:45 a.m.: Didn’t masturbate this morning because I was running late for work due to the aforementioned fire alarm. Horny as hell on the subway, checking out the packages of the fine Bronx Rican boyz. Yeah, papi!
11:59 a.m.: My Madonna obsession always gets the best of me at work. Can’t stop checking out Madonnalicious.com every five minutes to find out the latest Maddy gossip. Love her.

Today, the Self-Professed “Damaged Goods” From a Never-Ending Breakup: 25, Brooklyn, female, advertising associate, single.
DAY ONE
7:59 a.m.: Awake suddenly with a fierce charley horse that makes me cry out in pain. Wonder if my housemates might confuse the outburst with crazy morning sex. Dismiss idea.
11:20 a.m.: Review text message that my date from the night before, Terrance, sent me fifteen minutes after our subway entrance make-out session and five minutes after I informed him of my post-relationship status. I had called myself “damaged goods.” His text: “Ur the best-lookin’ damaged goods I ever seen.”
12:56 p.m.: Log into Gmail account and see that my ex, Marcus, is online. I say “ex” with quotation marks. After a one-year relationship, followed by a one-year hiatus while I was abroad and then a six-month breakup, we still talk and fuck a lot.

DAY ONE
10 a.m.: Hit the snooze button four times. Morning wood. Not so much a raging hard-on as a gentle swelling. An ex-boyfriend once told me that he couldn’t get off with morning wood. I think that’s become a self-fulfilling prophecy for me.
12:10 p.m.: Co-worker and I speculate about Eli Roth’s sexuality. He sends me a link to “Eli Roth Has the Biggest Dick in Hollywood.” It’s his naked thighs that turn me on, not the enormous prosthetic penis.
2 p.m.: Totally uninterested in naked-porn-star photo I receive with a press release for some gay party. I worry that gay porn has totally desensitized me.
3:05 p.m.: This guy e-mails me — he has like two boyfriends; we go out to dinner and make out occasionally; it’s way too complicated. I invite him out to Lotus. Not sure why, I don’t even like him that much.

DAY ONE
8:30 a.m.: Woken up by vibration somewhere in my sheets.
8:31 a.m.: It’s my phone. I just started dating again after a two-year hiatus. I don’t answer in fear that it’s one of my dates.
8:40 a.m.: Can’t get back to sleep. Go pee. Sore from masturbating last night. Haven’t had sex in 23 months.
8:45 a.m.: Check e-mail. Received eight matches from eHarmony. Just signed up last night, so I’m super-excited. One guy is holding a little puppy. Begin to figure out how eHarmony works. Send “1st Questions” to the puppy guy.
