It's a picturesque Saturday morning in Palm Springs. I am gently swaying on a cozy swinging bench, watching birds in the orange trees in the reflection of the placid pool water in front of me. The aroma of ripe oranges and sounds of nearby water fountains mixed with chirping birds perfects the scene. In this setting I cannot help but think about how inspiring and amazing my friend Bruce is who owns this exquisite little home that he calls his, "little desert retreat." Bruce is an amazing man, but what inspires me most about him is that it's abundantly clear that he's happy, in love with his life, and unlike so many others, perfectly content being single.
As the co-founder of a leading relationship-focused gay and lesbian dating site, OneGoodLove.com, what I am about to say may come as a shock to you: You may never find someone. No matter how hard you try, how many dating sites you subscribe to, how many dates you go on, how many frogs you kiss, the unfortunate statistical truth is that not everyone finds the man or woman of his or her dreams. You may wonder why I would say that. My only intention in divulging that harsh reality is to have it serve as the catalyst for you yourself coming to the realization that regardless of your relationship status, you can be happy, whole, and in love with your life.
Too many of my friends, people I talk to, and profiles I read of members on my dating site believe that in order to be happy they need to find a partner or meet someone. Some people go as far as acting desperate, miserable, and unhappy admittedly as a result (in their own minds) of being single. These unfortunate people would argue that it's a "chicken before the egg" dilemma, where they could only possibly be happy after they were to find someone. For you singles out there dredging through a meager existence due to your relationship status, I have another reality check: You aren't going to attract anything but other dredgers to console you in your solitude.

(HOTEL SPONSOR) San Francisco's Kensington Park Hotel has Old Gothic Style!
MKS
|
I made it to my first night in San Francisco, and had a little bit of Kismet, because in a few short days I will be San Diego and staying in the Affluent neighborhood of Kensington.
The Hotel is a gorgeous 1925 Gothic style building. The stylish lobby features hand-painted ceilings, modern artwork, and serves complimentary tea and sherry, nightly to hotel guests.
I first noticed the sculpture of a Horse in the Lobby.

by MK Scott
OUTscene Special
OUTview was thrilled to be Hosted by the Fabulous Kitano New York Hotel just a few blocks from Grand Central Station and nestled between the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building. The Kitano is one of the many Hotels and venues in the NYC area that are taking in the economic opportunities from Legal Marriage Equality addition to New York.
I took a tour of the Hotel and sat down with the Catering Manager, Thanya Phanpinyo, about what Gay couples can look forward from the Kitano.

(0UTscene) HOTEL SPONSOR: SoHo's Art Deco paired with the Luxury of the James SoHo!
by MK Scott
OUTscene Editor
While in New York, focusing on venues for Gay weddings and receptions I was grateful to receive an invitation to a brand new property in the SoHo District.
The James New York is conceived and designed as a locally inspired, community focused and environmentally thoughtful Art-Deco hotel. Outdoor spaces throughout the hotel include an Urban Garden and rooftop pool deck and bar. I loved the rooftop croquet setup!

(0UTscene) HOTEL SPONSOR: Experience the Royality of San Francisco's Pacific Heights Crown!
by MK Scott
As Ryan and I traveled to San Francisco for the NLGJA National Convention, I certainly couldn't do it without the FAB People at the Queen Anne Hotel in Pacific Heights. How fitting 2 Gay Guys from Seattle staying at a Hotel with same name as Seattle's most classiest neighborhood.
Wrap yourself in the splendid comforts of this finely detailed Victorian hotel and spacious guest rooms and suites, and delight in the inviting amenities including complimentary daily breakfast in our elegant Salon. Perfect for business and pleasure, the hotel offers impressive event space for weddings, celebrations, meetings, conferences and corporate retreats.
