Dating advice. I’ve received a lot of it in my tenure as a single person. It’s often doled out like Skittles by coupled-up people who haven’t even been in “the dating game” in a hot minute. They’re trying to help, of course, but the advice often feels a little easier-said-than-done or even out of touch … Continue reading The Worst Dating Advice I’ve Ever Received
I was one of those people who swore they’d never sign up for a dating app. To me, they seemed superficial and frankly, gross. Back when dating sites like Match.com were a new thing, many of us probably thought that online crap was for losers. Then, somewhere down the line, we bitterly accepted it, and … Continue reading Why I’m Deleting My Dating Apps
The saying goes, “Another year older, another year wiser,” and I’ve known this to be true. These past twenty-two years have flown by, but not without valuable lessons in life, love, friendship, etc. Obviously, I’m not perfect and still have so much to learn (like how to have better patience in nearly all aspects of … Continue reading
“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” I’ve heard this age-old saying enough times to truly convince myself that giving someone a second chance after they’ve wronged me would make me a fool.

As graduation for my alma mater is practically days away, I realize that I will soon have been out of college for an entire year. For me, college was inspiring, challenging, and fulfilling. Maybe you feel the same. I fell in love, met some of my … Continue reading
Wine has been romanticized for quite some time, and for good reason. My running joke is that wine makes the perfect partner because it can never break your heart. I’m joking, obviously, but it’s kind of true, right? This then made me wonder if wines were “on the market,” so to speak, which would be comparable to a first love, summer … Continue reading If Wines Were Dateable…
Love lessons are some of life’s best lessons, but with love sometimes comes heartbreak. These are the even tougher lessons to learn. Finding the silver lining in a breakup definitely doesn’t happen overnight, but it does happen. You won’t find it in your monthly horoscope or at the bottom of a bottle of Pinot. You probably won’t find it scrolling through Tinder, … Continue reading
A Reflection on the Museum of Broken Relationships When we part ways with someone, we’re left with more than a broken heart. We’re left with objects – his oversized t-shirt we sleep in, her bobby pins we later find in the shower, ticket stubs from movies and athletic events, and photo booth strips from happier times – that … Continue reading Heartbreak On Display
Which wine should you order on a first date? Which wine should you reach for when you’ve been dumped?
