Some Days, Two Loves Combine
Yesterday was one of those days. For my day job, I posted a blog titled “How to Use PDF: Online Dating Edition” over at Nitro. That’s right – it’s a blog about two things I like one whole heck of a lot: dating and PDF. Want to see what the new way of managing your dating […]

A Response to The Worst Online Dating Profile Ever
(Ed note: Folks, meet Angie! She’s kicking off something a little new around here: occasional guest posts! Fresh voices, new points of view, and a little extra time for Alicia to work on her book and Megan to finish the movie. Angie is an engineer by day, food blogger on nights and weekends, and a […]

New Moon Love vs. Real Life Love
Ed note: apparently holidays lead to writer’s block. First, because attempting to make an earring selection at Clare’s for your second-cousins is wildly mind consuming, and second, because every time you sit down to edit something reasonably good you’ve written, you get distracted by Julie and Julia and sparkly wine, or by home movies and […]

A Script for an Over-the-Phone Just Not That Into You Convo
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, I asked other people advice about dating. Who am I kidding, I still totally do that! Needing dating and relationship advice never goes away, whether you’re on a first date, ten months into a relationship, recently engaged or married for thirty years. Anyway, I was […]

When a Kinesiologist Starts Thinking Critically About The Game
My brother, my friend Nessa, and I explained Neil Strauss’ The Game to my kinesiologist father this Thanksgiving. T-day with my parentals tends to go something like this: enjoy champagne, a lengthy meal and dessert at a well-set table (use your silverware from the outside in and make sure your napkin rests in your lap), then […]

Thanksgivitude
There seems be an extra oomph of Thanksgivitude lolling about this year. Maybe it’s the number of Facebook friends sharing a daily dose of thankfulness. Maybe it’s the fact that while waiting in line to walk up the stairs at Bart, more people than ever before were giving money to the musician who was brightening […]

The Un-Turkey Drop
Ed. Note: today’s post was fully inspired by what I found in my Facebook News Feed thanks to The Atlantic (which granted, is probably where I get way too much of my news these days. But I’m expanding to the Pop Culture Happy Hour – promise). For Thanksgiving Break my senior year of college, I […]

The Stature of Limitations
Height is a funny characteristic: not much in our control, in flux toward the start and end of our lives (with several consistent years in the middle, usually). Yet while plenty of single people are willing to work around other uncontrollable aspects of another person, like dyslexia or shoe size, height isn’t so lucky. Pesky […]

Flirtation and Pick-ups
Last week, I was in attendance for two pick-ups. I mean, at the time I wasn’t clear they were pick-ups, but reflection tells me they probably were. I am famous for not knowing when I’m being hit on. Incidentally, it’s a trait I inherited from my mom, who recently told me the tale of how, […]
