    Dear diary…

    Looking back at my fairly recent online dating experience, or what I refer to as my “social experiment year” (oddly timed to happen during a pandemic) I am hesitant to repeat the process again, but also missing parts of it that made me feel excited and loved. It all came to a screeching halt after…

  • I don’t miss you

    I don’t miss you

    I don’t miss you I miss things about you, about you with me I miss little things that made us “us” the simple things that made me feel part of a couple that made me smile, feel warm, safe, loved one night a week but for that one night I was a part of something…

    attention without intention…

    the clues were always there, I just didn’t realize it I honestly didn’t know to look for them, or that I should be looking in some covert way, written in code… …but they were always there  you said them, you texted them you showed them with your hot and cold attention  but I wasn’t wearing…

  • Please don’t ask me

    Please don’t ask me

    Maybe it’s a generational thing, a millenial thing or maybe I’m just turning the corner and finally getting officially “old”. I used to love Facebook. Like really, it was my lifeline, my entertainment, my communication tool and my teacher of things in the world from people I had never met. It was exciting and new,…

  • Hi future lover,

    Hi future lover,

    Hey just felt like writing you. Wonder what you are up to right now. Where are you? I wish you were here. Would love for you to be reading on a cute …(*reblogged from Year of Discovery – because she hits the nail on the head with this one, and so many more!) Hi future…

  • Call me babe

    Call me babe

    It is quite possibly the simplest and least inventive pet name to use, one that doesn’t take much thought, or need to have a story behind it, and probably the most common nickname in existence. It’s really pretty generic, milk toast compared to the others, if we’re being completely honest. But it makes me weak…

  • That was then, this is now

    That was then, this is now

    So, when was the last time you were actually dating? Like really dating, just going out with different people to see if you click, looking for “the one” to build a life with for oh maybe the next fifty years? I don’t know about you, but I was 25. I’m not a “math person” but…

    Lessons

    There are a couple of words of dating and relationship advice I have given to my brothers when we were much younger, and now I impart the same insight to my sons. Don’t say you’ll call her, if you won’t. And don’t say you love her, if you don’t. But now that I am back…

    The door has opened

    It’s been a little more than three months now from our first date. It seems like eons ago right now, with the changing seasons and the pandemic slowing everything to a crawl. Time moves almost imperceptibly some days, to the point that you can forget what day or month it is if you don’t pay…

  • Can I change my answer?

    Can I change my answer?

    Beginning the online dating journey, only a few months ago, one of the first of many questions I had to answer was “what are you looking for?” Hmmm… That’s tough to put into words at this point. Not sure if this is in the drop down menu: I want to date. Just that. Go out…
