It's time to put sex on the calendar once again!

BlogHer Bedroom is coming back tomorrow (Thursday). This week, your fearless misadventuress will be discussing dating someone new and answering your questions about how to meet new people, how to communicate our needs and how to establish boundaries, as well as admitting her own trials in starting over after a break-up!

It's been a year since my divorce –- a year full of trial and error as I began exploring the world of dating once again. I've dated exclusively, I've dated around, I even made a point of dating people I wouldn't normally date to see if I was missing something. Great dates, bad dates, you name it. And I've learned some valuable lessons.

Where do we meet new people? Should we know what we want going in or see where things go? What are our expectations? How do we communicate them? What does the place a date chooses to take us say about them, if anything? Is it OK to cancel via text? Who pays? How soon after do you expect a date to make contact after going out –- or should you make contact?

Once again this week we're going to be picking one of you to receive a $100 Visa gift card. To enter the contest, simply leave a comment on this post asking a question about dating you'd like to have answered during the chat.

So pencil me in, ladies, tomorrow (Thursday) at 8:00 p.m. Pacific, 11:00 p.m. Eastern, for the BlogHer Bedroom video chat. You can watch and chat here on this page at BlogHer.com. It's like having happy hour with friends, only you don't have to worry about traffic or getting home after a drink or two! Perfect!

GIVEAWAY DETAILS


Win a $100 Visa gift card by asking a question related to the topic in the comments of this post. You have until Thursday, 11:30 p.m. Eastern, 8:30 p.m. Pacific to leave a comment. The winner will be contacted before the following week's video chat, and we will make the public announcement during the next show. Click here to read the official rules. Ready, set, go!

Hi! I'm turning 50 this year and need to start dating. I haven't dated since I was in my 30's and I'm not sure how to go about meeting someone at this age or where to start. I work at home and don't go out much. Thanks!

Do you have any suggestions about where to meet people if you aren't into the bar/club scene and are mostly a stay at home and read type? I've met a lot of people through grad school, but most of them are married/in long term relationships/gay and it would be nice to meet some guys who are actually available. I don't have the energy to play the bar scene and didn't know if you knew other good ways to meet good guys?

One of my best friends has recently divorced, and she has had several men at her workplace ask her out.

She is interested in "exploring her options," but how can she do that without looking like she's making her way through all the single men in the office?

Okay, I am going to try to be awake this week!! Here's my question:
Have you ever or do you recommend having a get-me-out-of-this-date phone call from a friend? You know, having someone call in the middle of the date and it if totally sucks, you say you have an emergency and have to leave.....and if it's going great graciously get off the phone?
Or is that something that only ever happens on tv or in the movies?
