1. Gitcher Groupon, Gitcher Groupon* Surely I’m not the only person who gets gentle reminders all the time from Groupon and Living Social that my deals are about to expire. Yet it isn’t every day that I want to go to Top Golf or eat at a restaurant that sounded vaguely good in a neighborhood [...]
I recently found one of my high school best friends, Heidi, on Facebook. Heidi and I were fiercely connected–I was her labor coach when she had her first baby at 19–but we lost touch after I returned to DC for good. (The first picture of hers I saw on Facebook was of that now-16-year-old baby [...]
In college, we used to call that oppressive, restless Sunday afternoon feeling funkengruven. The weekend and its pleasures are behind you, some unpleasant chores you’ve been putting off are now urgent, and the long weary week of work looms ahead. Sometimes the next good thing seems just too far away, across a minefield of obligation [...]
The million dollar date has been had, and lo, it hath failed. As I said on Twitter: To recap, I didn’t like him but I’m kind of annoyed that he didn’t like me. I did wear a piece of arugula on my boob for part of the date, until he pointed it out, so maybe [...]
To recap, Lieu broke up with me, but subsequently received some bad news that caused me to suspend my plan to not see him again as long as he is refusing to put out. Since then, we’ve been talking almost every day and seeing each other once a week or so. Suddenly, he is all [...]

I wasn’t blogging when the Great Dating Experiment began, but as near as I can figure this is the one year anniversary of my first date. Which was a disaster. Since then, I have been on 22 first dates. Of those, 12 have at least made noise about a second date, and I’ve seen 8 [...]
Dear C_girl, I am a 35-year-old single woman. Until October of 2009, I hadn’t been on a date for over six years. Now, I’ve been dating a guy for ten months. He is recently divorced and pretty emotionally damaged from it. I think I love him, but he treats me like I barely exist most [...]
