A Quick Dating Story
I never officially announced this, but since wrapping up production on 50/50 (aka, the majority of the filming, aka, I went on over 50 first dates) I have taken a full time job as a writer for a tech company. Which means I now have access to over a hundred coworkers and their dating tales […]

Burritos and Dating
While talking about burritos with some gal friends a few nights ago, I started thinking about, what else, dating and burritos. Rarely have burrito dates gone well for me. Burritos in relationships – awesome. Burritos on a date seems to result in weird mojo. I should note here that burritos are notoriously hard to eat […]

Holla
Back in my hometown, walking down the street often made me feel like Homecoming Queen. Rarely a jaunt to the bagel cafe or the record shop went by that some stranger didn’t catcall at me. I know, I know. Women’s lib. Feminism. Women aren’t objects. I believe all that, now. But truth is, at 15 […]

Why Dating As An Adult Is Sometimes A Lot Like Dating As A Teenager
A few weeks ago I went to the wedding of a dear friend. While thrilled to celebrate her union to a rather sensational man, I was reminded of something that had very little to do with nuptials: the adulthood datingverse feels one heck of a lot like the teenage datingverse sometimes. One of the pros […]

Second Date Reasoning
On Saturday afternoon, I got a text message from a reader. Who fine, is also my friend. But still – I was pretty stoked that someone sought me out for dating advice for her boyfriend’s roommate. I was doing something insipid, like moving or standing in Target, when I read the message: Need a good […]

Police Sketches : Online Dating Profiles
I’ve never actually seen a police sketch (outside of the infamous Unabomber drawing that looked like Everyman in a hood and big sunglasses) but I always assumed the intended purpose of these sketches was to pinpoint what a potential perp looked like.*And then earlier this week, I got a message in the 50/50 inbox from […]

Road Memory
I’m the point of post-road trip where I am being bombarded with flashbacks from my time on the road. Case in point: this afternoon while driving down the Nimitz freeway, I saw a woman walking down the shoulder of the road. Big hoop earrings, Raiders colors, and a pissed off strut that seemed to scream […]

This is How You Will Unravel Your Own Heart
Author’s note: Admittedly, I wrote this a little over a year ago. I’m very curious in how thought processes around anything (particularly relationships, romance and love of course) evolve, how we can feel one way, then feel another. How we both embody our feelings in the moment, but then eventually choose not to remember them. […]

The Sociology of Duets and Dating
Clearly duets are not a new trend in the music world. People have been duetting since before there were words to sing – when there were merely rocks to beat together or recorders to play in tandem. But I have noticed two emerging phenomenons in the male/female pop duet lately which have piqued my interest: […]

Date Re-Creation Going Oh So Right
I’d like to publicly admit that I am indeed a date re-creator. If I have been on a date that is “hip, hip. hooray!” worthy with one person, I am not too ashamed to try it with someone else. So when I saw that ZOZI was offering a “learn to fly a plane” experience near […]
