Telegrams to Myself
There are days when I want to write my heart a telegram. It would go something like this: DEAR HEART STOP HURT LESS STOP LOVE ALICIA STOP. Of course, if ignoring the woes of your heart were easy, there wouldn’t be a thousand million billion songs emoting the feelings of people all over the world […]

Wyoming!
Dating isn’t always convenient to one’s schedule. In fact, I’m not convinced it should be — if you really think someone is the cat’s meow, you’ll go out of your way to give them your time. When Megan and I decided we would stop in Yellowstone to let out her inner girl scout, I knew […]

Idaho
One of the most frequently asked questions about 50/50 has been, “Well, what if a guy likes Megan more than you?” All joking of tag-teaming aside, Meg and I knew this was a likely scenario. It was never a matter of if but rather, of when. Answer: Idaho. While most boys have been intimidated by […]

Discussions
In the car yesterday, Megan and I were discussing my date with Everette. She wanted to hear my story of being in London and finding out the guy I was there with had been (and technically still was) married. And in her true Megan way, she wanted me to look at it from a less-cheery […]

Washington – Date Two
Fine, I admit it. I have a hard time making decisions between two exceptional choices. So with only one day in Seattle and two really nice potential dates from How About We, I couldn’t play “eenie-meenie-miney-moe” like I did when I was a child — I went out with both! This is the story of […]

He’s Nice! (Or Is He?)
I have a tendency to be Miss Merry Sunshine about situations and people, handing over the benefit of the doubt as if it were a limited time offer and I am unable to pass up a good deal. For example, while on my Oregon date we came across a house with the porch light on […]

Oregon Date
Here’s a new way to meet someone: have a friend who is on the same dating site as you recommend a guy she’s already been out with and connect via said dating site. That’s exactly how I met Jon, who lives in Portland, Oregon. Our profiles said we were a 95% match, but percentages aside, […]

Keeping It Casual
I was very casually dating a nice boy before I left to go on a first date in every state. Will is a very nice guy who, when I told him at our first meeting what my future had planned, simply said, “That’s okay. Let’s keep this casual. And I’d like to take you to […]

Getting Dressed for 50/50 Just Got a Lot Easier
Holy cannoli. My absolute favorite retailer, ModCloth, has signed on to sponsor the documentary. Which means a few days ago I got to peruse their website and feel like I was doing my job (instead of feeling like a fashion junkie desperate for a fix of retro-cuteness). I’ve been a ModCloth disciple since a friend […]
