In honor of the holiday we’re doing this a day early. Check out this journal entry from 26 (!!!) years ago. Note the line near the bottom about how “Some people ONLY get Valentines from their parents.” This is still something I’m working through.

A Book on Dating
I’ve tossed around a couple book ideas off and on in the past couple of years, and I really want to write one of essays just about my life because I’m funny and interesting shit occasionally happens to me. The other one is most definitely going to be about dating. I mentioned it in aContinue reading “A Book on Dating”
And people wonder why it’s so hard to find love these days
Seriously, Dad, I warned you. Don’t read this one. Skip it. OK. So. It’s been a while, but you know I’ve gotten on and then off and then on Bumble like 4 times since I last told you about it. Anymore, it’s almost solely for blog content. Other options are funny stories either for myContinue reading “And people wonder why it’s so hard to find love these days”
In case you’re curious as to how my dating life is going…
I had this metaphor in mind for how online dating was like Pokemon Go, but not in a good way, because you catch all of the crazies and you don’t want to and then I realized I may not understand Pokemon Go and it all fell apart. But I also don’t really understand dating theseContinue reading “In case you’re curious as to how my dating life is going…”
The Tinder Chronicles Pt. 2
You guys, it’s hard to date these days. Anyone who says otherwise, well, send them my way then, because I obviously need a coach. Where’s Hitch when you need him? I don’t remember exactly when I got it but I have been on Tinder, I believe, for about 10 months now. And it’s been anContinue reading “The Tinder Chronicles Pt. 2”
(Getting out of) my own way
There’s an underrated movie – the sequel to “Get Shorty.” It’s called “Be Cool” and if you haven’t watched it, you should. Even though he’s extra creepy now, John Travolta does alright in it – but the better parts in it are any featuring Vince Vaughn, The Rock or Andre 3000. Best parts (in myContinue reading “(Getting out of) my own way”
Tinderella
Once upon a time, like in any fairy tale, your heroine had had just about enough of trying to date the regular way. Fresh off the latest situation that had started out great and ended horribly (as they all do in these stories), she decided to try something new, because what the hell. And byContinue reading “Tinderella”
Take note, girls
Words of wisdom from my Uncle Chuck at a bar recently: “Rule number one as a young lady: Never rub something against your lips at a bar… Go to the bathroom or somethin’.”
I came, I saw, I winked. And then I moved on.
One month. That’s how long it took me to decide. It was a month when my insomnia came back full-force, when my anxiety moved from threat level yellow (where it stays most of the time) to red-orange or orange-red or whatever that crayon color is. It was a month when I had paid $35 andContinue reading “I came, I saw, I winked. And then I moved on.”
So many matches, so little to like about this process
Wanna know what goes through my head as I review the “matches” pre-selected for me by a company I am paying by the month to find me love? OF COURSE YOU DO. So, here goes. OK. Starting with my Singled Out Match of the Day! Oh boy! Singled Out was a good show. When IContinue reading “So many matches, so little to like about this process”
