Friends First
A first date recently asked me if my take on dating had changed after driving around the country to go on a first date in every state. We were sitting at the lake, drinking coffee and eating bagels on a weekday morning. I stared at the coots ducking into the water like miniature dolphins before […]

Texts With Megan
People who knew you before right this moment tend to bring a different insight on your YOU-ness than people you will meet after this moment. It’s one of the reasons I love strangers: they are able to show you who you can be. Old friends show you who you were though, and recognize when […]

The Bystander’s Quandary
(Todays guest post comes from my friend, Honor. She’s married, but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t found herself in a relationship-related pickle. Feel free to leave advice/thoughts in the comments section! Honor, the floor is yours.) So I’m in a quandary. I have a friend, let’s call him Mike, that I’ve known since before we […]

Lion-Hearted, Take 2!
Ed. note: Wow. There is nothing like when you totally realize you posted a draft, not the blog you meant to post. Sorry about that yesterday, kittens.You now have a slight insight as to how I build out ideas…not terribly exciting, eh? I stumbled across the photo accompanying this post while falling down a […]

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 […]

That Bizarre-o Fear of Flying
Through fortuitous events, Megan and I wound up flying First Class to Alaska. Most people are probably thinking OOO! First Class! right about now, but believe me when I tell you only two thoughts went through my mind when I found out about this switcheroo: 1) Does this mean we have to board sooner? 2) Does this […]

The Road From Denver to Moab
For the record, I think no one would be the wiser if I skipped out on writing about the rest of our stay in Denver, but it seems too weird to simply leap from a sick Megs and a flustered me right into waxing over the waning moon about my Utah date. What happened post-Bryan in […]

Friend’s Opinion: Yay or Nay?
Last night, I did a second dramatic reading from my pink diary (the one pictured in yesterday’s post) for two close girlfriends who I’ve known since maybe forever. We laughed hysterically, often knowing exactly who the entries were referring to, and reminisced about junior high and high school, the boys we thought we loved who […]

The Rest of the Savannah Story
Drama and flaws aside, Megs and I had a pretty darn good time in Savannah. It was Halloween, and while neither of us are huge let’s get wasted and dance on tables! sort of gals, that didn’t mean we weren’t into showing off our Where’s Waldo? and Carmen San Diego duds for an hour downtown. […]

Reblog: Let’s Start Being Honest About What We Want
Shutterstock Two nights ago, a friend and I were having a conversation about what we’ve learned from our vastly different dating experiences (mine in going on a lot of dates, his on taking a break from the datingverse for a few months). He noted one big takeaway had been to be honest, regardless of […]
