Holiday Hiatus
The other day, I received an email notifying me that the domain name for this blog would be automatically renewing in less than two months, for the duration of one year. Which means that this blog has already been around for nearly one year. AN ENTIRE YEAR. That’s amazing to me. I still can’t quite believe it. A lot has happened in the past year. I’ve gone on dates, sure. I’ve also had…

Blank Slate
April-May 2012 | 6 dates [Note: This is the third in a series of blog posts by a group of guest contributors. The following entry was submitted by my friend, An Inside Joke, who — as you will soon see — is a very talented writer.] Usually, ten minutes early is plenty for the sorts of small, Lutheran churches I attend. What I failed to account for on Easter morning, however, was the massive influx…

August 2006 | 1 “date” [Note: This is the second in a series of blog posts by a group of guest contributors. The following entry was written by Rosalie, whose alias was inspired by the film I Love You to Death. If you’ve never seen it, do yourself a favor and go watch it.] Years ago, I dated a guy (for far too long, I might add); for this story, we shall call him Lionel. Lionel had a sister and a…

Thanksgiving Note
This week, instead of sharing a story of a failed date, I’ve decided to take a moment to say thanks. Thank you to the friends who gave me the idea for this blog in the first place. Thank you to those same friends, and many others — including acquaintances, colleagues, and family members — who have continued to read this blog every week and offer me their unconditional support. Thank you, even, to…

The Tongue
December 2016 | 1 date [Note: This is the first in a series of blog posts by a group of guest contributors. The following entry was written by Meerkat Sparkles, who made cameo appearances in Intense and Crouching Tiger.] When I first moved to L.A., I was a little naïve to its eccentricities. I had previously lived on campus in Orange County, but had yet to understand the boundaries one must set…

Crouching Tiger
August 2017 | 1 date I was probably twelve or thirteen years old when I first saw the movie Emma, starring a then-relatively unknown actress by the name of Gwyneth Paltrow. As in the Jane Austen novel on which the film is based, the title character is an unprofessional matchmaker. After several viewings throughout the years, I found myself relating to Emma — not because I myself had tried to…

Dean
August 2017 | 1 date Shortly after I moved to Los Angeles, my roommate at the time (still one of my very closest friends to this day), Lulu, and I found ourselves being sucked into the media and pop culture juggernaut-slash-phenomenon that is The Bachelor. Another one of my best friends from college — we’ll call her Marcie — was crashing at our Hollywood apartment, and watching the show together…

O.C. Guy #2
August 2017 | 1 date A couple of years ago, I took advantage of a limited-time promotion for a huge discount on a paid-subscription dating site. Up until then, I had only been using free dating apps, and it was pretty apparent that this strategy wasn’t working out so well for me. It made sense that people willing to spend some of their hard-earned money to find a potential match are probably more…

Gelato
August 2017 | 2 dates Who has time for dating? I often feel like I don’t. Between work life, home life, and social life, my calendar is extremely full. And it’s a lot easier to say “no” to the awkwardness that is dating than some other cherished aspect of existence. Which is why this past summer simply flew by with nary a date in sight. I had an out-of-town wedding to stand up in, an out-of-town…

Stunning
June 2017 | 0 dates I’m sensing a pattern with this whole “zero dates” thing. And not that I want to make a habit of writing about non-dates on a dating blog, but this one seems worthy of writing. Primarily because it was the first time in a long time that I met a boy “in real life” with whom I felt an instant connection. You know the kind: butterflies in your stomach; stars in your eyes; the…
