3.15 As Myth Would Have It
In order to put a spin on this blog post, I’m not going to do a “I’m Going To Be Single This Valentine’s Day, Please Don’t Feel Sorry For Me” post. We have both been there AND done that. It’s boring. It’s tiring. If you’re single on Valentine’s Day, you should be viewing it as…

2.5 A Mile a Minute: How Single is TOO Single? Asking For a Friend
Look, it’s no secret to anyone. I’m single. Never had a boyfriend. Whether by choice, involuntarily or due to residual trauma regarding past rejection and the resulting insecurities (see 2 posts ago for reference), I have lived my 23 years on this planet so far as a single lady (cue Beyoncé). Moving to a small…

2.4 GOOD VIBES ONLY (Aiming for a Positive Spin, is it Working?)
Generally, when I write about relationships (or lack thereof, usually), I tend to be pretty hard on the male population. Couldn’t possibly be because most of them are smelly, rude and clueless, right? Okay, okay, I’m kidding. Sort of. Whatever. The point is, usually I’m pretty much on the “men are trash” train, so I’m…

2.3 Trauma with a Capital T, and That Rhymes with P and That Stands for PERSONAL STORY TIME
It’s been a while since I’ve posted, because I’ve been feeling uninspired with no real creative direction lately. It’s like the metaphorical “drought,” if you will. But I was chit-chatting with a friend a week or so ago, on a Saturday night (and yes, wine was included. Yes, we had to go out and buy…

2.2 Thanksgiving Hot Takes: The Foods and the Dudes
What, like YOU’VE never compared classic Thanksgiving dishes to general male archetypes? Give me a FREAKIN’ break. Turkey: Ole Buddy, Ole Pal The Food: Turkey is a Thanksgiving staple, right? Thanksgiving dinner wouldn’t be Thanksgiving dinner without it! It’s reliable and always there. The Dude: This is the classic camped-in-the-friendzone scenario. He’s nice, inoffensive, but…

2.1 The Giraffe in the Room (Spoiler Alert: It’s Me)
When I started this blog, I said that I wasn’t going to beat the dead “I’m a tall girl and it makes things complicated sometimes” horse. But as I’m entering my second series of the blog, I’m going to focus a little more on the dating/relationship side of things, and in order to do that…

1.8 BREAKING NEWS: Blogger Describes Split From Longtime Beau, Who Happens to Be a Dating App
Because I will do literally ANYTHING to avoid any real work or face my real-life problems, a few days ago I downloaded Tinder. I should say, rather, that I redownloaded Tinder. I’m going to insert here a little crash course, a Tinder 101 if you will, for the more wholesome/busy/married-for-multiple-years/blissfully ignorant readers that I have,…

1.6 Stop Ignoring These Signs That Your Guy Sucks Really, Really Hard.
Why should you take any sort of romantic advice from me? You shouldn’t. That’s a trick question. While I AM a genius, I will say that I may not know EVERYTHING about dating or relationships. However, I do know about people. And if I say that a person sucks, they probably do. Which I why…

1.4 A Short Guy and A Tall Guy Walk into a Bar…And Get Psychoanalyzed by Emma
Since, genius that I am, I know everything there is to know about everything there is to know something about, let me lay a little bit of wisdom on you people. I, as a woman between 6’2” and 6’3”, have witnessed first-hand the nastier sides of both tall and short men. As a tall woman,…
