I just had an intimate encounter with a homeless woman and her vagina. I’m trying to decide whether to call this phase “Rock Bottom,” “Please Make it Stop” or “I Don’t Want to See That.”

Here’s how I met Magda and her lady parts.

As part of my new dating regime, I’ve been chasing after the sexy joggers in my neighborhood park. Literally chasing them. And occasionally tripping in the hopes they talk to me.

It’s no secret that things with the Italian fizzled at the end of our first date when I was left staring blankly at the valet guy (who I swear was smirking at me) after my Italian hottie gave me a hit-and-run hug. So after what seemed to be a damn good date, I didn’t even know if I’d get a call for a second.

What’s the best replacement for sex?

Now that's a question I’ve been chewing on non-stop ever since I decided to give it up (or not give ‘it’ up) for a year.

But what force could possibly replace that dizzying oh-my-gosh feeling I get when a lover's passion pours prickly endorphins down my spine, leaving me deliriously prone to saying "I do," even when no one's asking for my hand in marriage? Yes, where can a sex diva-turned-celibate girl go to attain a sensation even resembling something so powerful it's known to clear up acne and extinguish depression?

I’ll admit. I’m not dating much. It’s not that I have no options. It’s that the quality of those options is terribly poor. But maybe every person I’ve ever come into contact with is right. Maybe I AM too picky. Saturday, seemed like a glorious day to test this out. Ladies and gentleman, I am going to attempt to (gasp) flirt back. What can it hurt, right?

But you forget - in my life, everything has implications.

Venue One: LA Marathon Expo
Now, let me start by saying that this is the same marathon that last year, around mile 17, a guy admitted that he had been trailing me since mile 6 thinking that if he waited until I was in the 20-mile delirium, I would be more likely to give him my phone number.

You’re looking at the girl who just got kicked off a certain popular online dating site. Seriously. Permanent, lifelong ban.

Here’s how it went down.

So I’m kicking it in front of TiVo, licking salt off Pringles (yay for zero-calorie snacks!) Suddenly the dating site’s commercial comes on. You know the one with the blissed out couples cuddling to cheesy romantic music?

When I met the Italian—a 27-year-old poster boy for “tall, dark and handsome”—at a bar nestled just south of the honkytonks in downtown Nashville, he wrestled us a table in the back and soon began to break all the first date rules.

My 2008 dating life starts with a big tease. Around New Years, I meet this beautiful, 30-year-old man: funny, brainy, artistic—he's a Salsa junkie--and line-by-line the type of guy I'd love to hang out with. So right along with my being celibate, I make seeing him a New Year's resolution. And get this, not only does he love to talk, but the dancing-computer genius asks more questions than free chips at Chillis--which to me is what sizzling, run-n-tell-your-girlfriends flirting is all about.

The World Wide Web is a great thing. I'm a big fan. That said, a few years back, I never dreamed of the damage a few harmless clicks could have. Particularly when it comes to dating adventures.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you a new species of heartache. A little thing I like to call “cyberdrama.”
