I met Chase on OKCupid. He had actually messaged me just as I was starting to date Knight, so I ended up messaging him back several weeks later when things went sour. Chase was a very busy man: two jobs and going to school. So we mostly chatted online, although he asked me if I…

Kiss Off
I’ve never felt pressured to have sex on the third date, or felt that any guy I was with expected it just because they paid for dinner, etc. I publicly applaud the men I’ve gone out with for never making me feel that way, and thank them for their gentlemanly ways. That being said, I…
Trust Me
Today’s post is not part of the Ronday series. Ronday will return next week. Sorry! It was just a game. It was a game about deciding who you could trust and who you couldn’t. Who was with you, who wanted you to fail. We laughed and we talked, we tried to read each other’s faces,…
Like A Moth To A Brain
The hardest part about constantly putting yourself out there is knowing that every time you do, you may stumble and fall. I do that a lot. In my eagerness to chase that which is good, sometimes I stub my toe or bruise a knee on the sticks waving the red flags. This is the case…
Good Knight
I admit it, I gave up. I found myself blasé about the whole dating thing. Other than “please trample my face” dude, nothing exciting was happening. I even agreed on a second date with the “I Win” guy – my first First After from back in November. I was chatting with a few guys, but…
What Those Closing Statements on eHarmony Really Meant
Here’s another post I found on my old OKCupid journal that I thought you might like to see. I had an eHarmony profile back in those days – and I’m not sure if the process has changed or not – but back then you had to choose a reason whenever you wanted to delete a…
Please Excuse The Mess
I was going through some old journal entries on my OKCupid profile, and came across this poem I had written back in 2007. This would have been a few months after having broken up from a second, long-distance attempt with Sully. I was also living with my mom after escaping from crazy psycho roommate and…
On Dating: Going Organic
I know I had mentioned having someone new and special in my life, but that was fairly short-lived. In reality, I think of him now as my shock absorber. He was newly in my life when I found out about my ex’s engagement, and his presence certainly cushioned the blow. In hindsight (which is always…
High Maintenance
I used to think I was low maintenance. I don’t need expensive gifts, uptown dinners, wear a lot of makeup, spend hours on my hair, and dress in designer outfits that cost more than some small countries spend on food. I considered myself kind of the geeky girl next door. I was kidding myself. “You…
