Opinions in LA
Megs and I have developed an uncanny ability to occasionally have the exact same reaction to dating stories. It’s not often, and it’s never about our own dating and relationships; nope, it’s only when someone else tells us a situation that we seem to be in perfect advising harmony. After shooting TakePart Live, we found […]

Take Part Live – Just a Longer Essay This Time
Getting to TakePart Live was not the easiest thing I’ve done this past year. (Yes, I’d wager that organizing a cross country dating trip was indeed simpler for me.) Because to get to #TPL, I had to fly there and back again, a round trip consisting of precisely 15 hours. Nerves got the best of me, […]

TakePart Live – Photo-Essay
First things first: transportation! Nerves got the best of me, and I walked to two wrong gates before landing at the correct departure gate. Next up, I spent fifteen minutes choosing an in-flight magazine (you’d have thought magazine selection was the most important thing I’d done for humanity in 2013) and had to leave the […]

I have a love/hate relationship about this, but it’s so very telling of humanity and the romantic notions of fate that I can’t help but lean “love” on any given day. Anyway, this piece of wisvice (have you also noticed that wisdom and advice […]

Is this what I’m trying so hard to find?
One of my favorite couples is separating. No, this isn’t a Nick and Jessica moment (though admittedly I was secretly a tiny bit bummed to hear about that) or a Demi and Ashton moment. These are friends, one of whom was blindsided by the news that the other needed a change of scene, a change […]

Who’s Classy? This Girl.
It’s no secret that I say awkwardly embarrassing things sometimes with zero intention of being either awkward or humiliating. Spend a few minutes with me and BAM! I really will say something that makes everyone pause. (Oy, put me in a situation where I feel nervous, and watch the speed of which I […]

Fourth Date Realities
For our fourth date, Brian took me to meet his closest friends in a town over an hour away, and the bulk of our car-ride conversation revolved around something I’d learned about him when we stayed up talking all night: the fact that he used be married. See, Brian married his high school sweetheart. As I’m […]

What Really Goes On at a Single’s Event
In early February, I noticed something different about my OkCupid homepage. Besides the photo roll call of people I might want to check out and the “recently updated profiles” list (aka, a tool I never found useful), there was a box inviting me to an OKCupid MeetUp. Yep, the online dating site was encouraging me […]
