I recently came across this amazing podcast and subsequent Facebook group called A Single Serving. The podcast is all about being single and the host, Shani Silver, interviews a variety of women about their experiences being single (many of them not surrounding the topic of dating which is amazing). The Facebook group is a community of amazing … More On Why Being Single is OK
Valentine’s Day is what a lot of people refer to as a “Hallmark Holiday” — a holiday created solely to get people to buy cards and spend money. This is definitely true but I have to say, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve really started to enjoy it. That may sound weird coming from someone who … More On Valentine’s Day
It’s kind of funny that the word “dating” is in my blog title since it’s rapidly becoming a topic I talk about so little. Right before the New Year, I got an email from Hinge, one of the many online dating apps I’ve tried over the years, asking me to come back. It’s actually one … More Dating & 2018
Shutterfly gave me a nice little reminder this past week. It showed me pictures from 9 years ago…pictures of myself and my ex-boyfriend that I apparently still had saved in my account online (they were promptly deleted). This came after discovering a box in my garage a few weeks ago that I hadn’t been through … More When the Past Ends Up in Your Inbox
As I lie here awake at 10:45 on a Saturday night (this is how you know you’ve passed the age of 30 by the way, when that feels late on a weekend), I’m stewing about a dream I had last night. I don’t want to wake any of my friends up by texting them about … More Dreams
17. No this isn’t the number of the bottles of beer on the wall. It’s not the age I was when some particularly momentous occasion happened. It’s not my lucky number. 17 is the number of times I’ve been rejected by a guy since I was in high school…that I can remember anyway. I was remembering … More 17
So it’s been a whole, oh, couple of months since I talked about dating so I felt like it was time to bring it back on the table again 🙂 In all seriousness though, the general consensus of dating with a disability seems to be “if you don’t make a big deal, then the other … More Putting the “i” in Big
“Why date me anyway when you can date a girl that’s much hotter than me and doesn’t have a disability? Happens time and time again no matter what issues the guy might have. I don’t know why I even bother.” This was a text I sent to my friend this morning whilst (clearly) having a … More The Unhot One
I don’t really know why but I’m generally not one of those people who “won’t give up without a fight” or who sticks with something until it works out. I am fully able to quit and walk away from things I think I just won’t be able to accomplish (in my personal life of course, … More I Quit?
Please consider this as my official resignation. I am no longer interested in being involved with your organization. I am tired of being the girl that has something that a complete stranger has to decide if he’s equipped to “deal with” when I didn’t ask to be born with it. I no longer want to … More Dear Dating:
