Dating in Virginia – Part Two (Yep, this date was so epic it requires two posts)
Folks, for Part 1 of the epic Virginia date, check out a few posts back. Otherwise, we’re jumping right in as though you know what’s up. The adrenaline surging through my veins didn’t slow even once the guns were put away in their safe boxes and I was assured there was no ammunition in them. […]

Detour: The Marry-able Cookie Recipe
So yesterday I mentioned that Richard, my Virginia date, had made me cookies. This got a brief note in the post because of the whole shooting range experience, but darn it if these cookies that I wanted to pledge myself to were not going to be brought up again. After my date with Richard (part […]

Dating in Virginia – Part One (Yep, this date was so epic it requires two posts)
Until we arrived in Virginia, I’d yet to feel as though America was some completely alien place. Sure, the scenery and accents morphed as Megan and I traveled east and a little south, and things such as pacing of life and availability of arugula were noted as “different”, but it wasn’t until Virginia that I […]

Response to Dan Slater’s “A Million First Dates”
When I think about commitment and why some relationships go the way of the dodo, the first place I consider laying blame has never been the Internet. Vast immaturity on the part of my partner? Sure. Abuse? Absolutely. But the existence of online dating? Um, no. That very thought, as fleshed out and discussed by […]

Day in DC
After waking up earlier than birdsongs, Megs and I drove into, got lost within, and finally found a place to park in Washington, D.C. We had about six hours to tootle around and see the nation’s capitol before our D.C. date and in true Megan and me fashion, tootle we did not: whirly-derby race is […]

The X Factor in Washington DC
I’m back! It’s me! Alicia! And I can think straight! On with the dates! (The more !!! the merrier, apparently!!!) Looks aren’t everything. When it comes to being attracted to men, I look for what’s right about them rather than what is “wrong” (to be fair, this is how I seem to approach a lot […]

Graciously Saying “No More Dates, Thanks!”
Folks, Alicia still is sort of out of intelligent writing commission today. So, enjoy a piece she wrote for another site about how to kindly let someone down. One of my personal flaws is not knowing when I want to stop dating someone. Sign one should probably be that I don’t return their phone calls in a […]

Getting Conversational With Your S.O.*
Folks, Alicia still is sort of out of intelligent writing commission today. So, enjoy a piece she wrote for another site about how to talk to a significant other when you want to have a more serious conversation. *(Or the person/s you’re in a datingship with these days.) Opening your mouth to eat confetti cake: easy. Opening […]

Recess
Due to medical brew-ha-ha, Alicia isn’t able to post today. But tomorrow. Oh, tomorrow. Just you wait. Unless of course she learns that she cannot write while on painkillers. In which case, you’ll just have to wait some more. However, for today, you’re going to get to OOOOH and AAAAH over three of Alicia’s favorite […]

Drunk High School History Teachers, Dr. Paul, and the Topic of Dating: Part Two
Yesterday I meandered away from the road trip and the story of fifty first dates to talk dating on a grander scheme. Going to wind that up now. Like I said before…In Maryland, it was inebriated educators. Awhile back, I remember feeling a bit unnerved by an uncategorizable number of people who wanted to know […]
