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 […]

Denver – The Date
Holy cannoli. Denver. As noted in my last post, Megan’s stomach decided it had had enough of everything and rebelled by giving her a very visceral sense of deja vu anytime she even thought about the f word (food). We’d decided I’d go on with the date in a modified way by skipping lunch and […]

El Paso: Wow (On So Many Levels) – Part 2
Megs and I decided early on to do two dates in Texas because darn it, that state is large and in charge. Also, even more than other states with international borders, it seems to be known for having a divisive population (though that might just be my California-brain talking). Regardless, we wanted to explore more of […]

Nothing Says First Date Like a Cat
When you hear the words “rock climbing” you might not be equating it to “awesome first date experience!” I certainly wasn’t, but when ZOZI presented the opportunity to hit the world’s tallest indoor climbing silos in Dallas, Texas, I wasn’t about to object. Giant silos plus my fear of heights and a stranger? Whether or […]

Florida’s Redneck Riviera
We spent two days in Florida, on a little patch of the state known both fondly and jestingly as the Redneck Riviera. It’s true, we didn’t go for the more “stereotypical” beach cities of Miami or Orlando, where bikinis and Aloha shirts reign. This was a definite choice on my part – we’d seen Atlantic […]

Ah Yes, North Carolina Tears. That Happened.
Why the tears, lass? Megan said something of the sort, interrupting herself in between simultaneously giving me directions to our homestay and interviewing me about North Carolina Mike. While likely concerned about my ability to drive unfamiliar highways through a flash flood in my eyes, she was also genuinely concerned and a bit lost. Didn’t […]

Finishing Up North Carolina the Date
Folks, for Part 1 of North Carolina (the adrenaline part), check out yesterday’s post. Otherwise, we’re jumping right in as though you know what’s up. At a cozy coffee house, one where the kids of the owners pranced through occasionally, the lighting inspired snuggling and smiles, and the coffee was hot, Mike and I sat down […]

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 […]

And Then There Was Maine
For the sake of context, I’d like to note that the date I’m about to write up is date number thirty. We’re not at state number thirty since I doubled up on Washington, Illinois and Nebraska, but the fact remains that I’ve gone on thirty first dates. This seems in and of itself some kind […]

Homestay in Massachusetts
Somedays I feel a bit like Megan and I are Mary and Joseph, wandering the desert/countryside looking for shelter under which to spend the night.* Though Megs and I have a set schedule, it’s all based on my taking a young lad out. So we’re never quite sure where we’ll land come bedtime until I […]
