Unexpected Wisdom Re: My Personal Datingverse
Sometimes, wisdom and advice comes from the most unlikely of places. I have a love/hate relationship about this, but it’s so very telling of humanity and the romantic notions of fate that I can’t help but lean “love” on any given day. Anyway, this piece of wisvice (have you also noticed that wisdom and advice […]

Is this what I’m trying so hard to find?
One of my favorite couples is separating. No, this isn’t a Nick and Jessica moment (though admittedly I was secretly a tiny bit bummed to hear about that) or a Demi and Ashton moment. These are friends, one of whom was blindsided by the news that the other needed a change of scene, a change […]

Fourth Date Realities
For our fourth date, Brian took me to meet his closest friends in a town over an hour away, and the bulk of our car-ride conversation revolved around something I’d learned about him when we stayed up talking all night: the fact that he used be married. See, Brian married his high school sweetheart. As I’m […]

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 […]

The Business of Breaking Up
Is the business of breaking up ever really finished? Perhaps it’s overly nostalgic of me, but I can’t help thinking that any time before the age of technology was the golden era of breakups. In my imagined golden age of breakups, you broke up and bam. That person was out of sight, out of mind, […]

You, Me and Everyone I Know
On the road, I got used to having a Jiminy Cricket of sorts on my shoulder – er, behind the camera – when it came to dating. No longer did I have to come home and pontificate in an email to my friends about the ins and outs of a date, detailing the indecision of what […]

Hockey Games and Jadedness
Alicia here. There is perhaps, too often, too much seriousness placed on a second date. The holy grail of dating is to get past the initial awkward meeting. Many people seem to think that second date is a time to decide if this is the person they’re going to be in a longer-term relationship with. I […]

For the Best
Alicia here. There’s something I notably left out of my last post: feeling. I expressed the facts, and not much but the facts. January had played her usual tricks on the Bay Area again, coming in all sunshine and beach-weather before making a sharp turn toward pure winter. I hadn’t dressed appropriately for the chilly […]

Library Brian and the Hand Washing Incident
I can’t remember how I greeted my library date. Was it a hug? A handshake? Smiles were certainly in attendance though, and Library Brian (his nickname already coined affectionately by my friends) was even holding a canvas bag to hold his books in. Our literary escapades were going to be a serious business. The Oakland […]
