The true story of one woman's quest for love, lust, and adventure

Cosmo's new Dating Diarist, Maggie Kim, 26, is a writer, musician, and self-described serial dater. Dig into the romantic chronicles of a sassy single girl in search of Mr. Right.

THURSDAY

Just broke up with Ben (Virgo, 27). Feel slightly bad but also relieved. Always knew he was too cute to be trusted. In the 2 months we dated, I wasn't allowed to break his unspoken rule: Never ask him what he's up to when I'm not with him. Way too casual for me, We're history.

Worse, he says he wants to be friends. What the hell does that mean? Am way too confused right now to contemplate such a lukewarm arrangement. Then again, we do have stuff in common--he's a writer and rocker like me--so maybe friendship would be a better choice than deleting him from my Palm V completely. Am supposed to help him paint his apartment this Saturday. Should I? No. Will I? Probably.

SATURDAY

Broke down and helped Ben paint. Even went shopping together for the color (he wanted a pansy pale blue, but I steered him toward a manly forest green). Between coats, we sipped margaritas and flirted up a storm. Then we crashed on the couch to watch a movie, but due to the paint fumes (or could it have been the margaritas?), my pants wound up somewhere around my ankles. Truth is, sex with an ex is so good, I'd almost break up with a guy just to get it.
