So in continuing with my online dating escapades I again have to reiterate that my favorite thing about the website Tinder (the only online site I’ve been using throughout this time of trying to “get back out there”) is that both parties involved have to “like” each other’s profiles (which are basically just pictures) in …

After my last post, I recalled that my date with Rod wasn’t actually my first date after my break-up, it was the second one.  The first one occurred when I really, truly wasn’t ready to start dating, but I decided to go because, well, why not? I didn’t want to sit around and wait for …

Well, I’m baaaacccckkk!  So first let me apologize for my disappearance.  It was an amazing year with an adorable, sweet, loving guy…well up until the point when I realized that he wasn’t actually any of those things and was actually just selfish and cheap, but you’ll have that, right? So Katie still hasn’t been caught, …

Day Four– This morning we left Sydney to head north, towards the home stay portion of our trip abroad.  It was a long day on the bus, but we were making good time and before lunch we decided to stop at a park and play some get-to-know-you games. Sounds like a good idea right?  I …

Today I discovered my love of Australian surfing….men.  Australian surfers are all I expected them to be: tall, thin, tanned, shaggy hair, and let’s not forget the accent.

For the last two summers, I’ve had the fortune of traveling the world with students from my area of Ohio. Last year I traveled to 6 countries in Europe (which I had done three times before with students from the schools at which I taught), and this summer I am traveling to Australia! There were …

I’m officially on summer break now, and my summer has started off on a very high note. I always have a list of projects that I plan on doing in the summer, and while I think that I am a pretty handy girl, I’ve always relied on my dad or whatever guy I’m dating at …

It’s hard for me to admit sometimes that I’ve really messed up.  But I really messed up. I always joke about how awful I am at relationships, but this time I don’t find it so funny, just disappointing. I’ve really let my fear of relationships sabotage me to the point of no return.  I met …

My latest dating adventure has me pretty convinced- there are no decent guys my age left out there. The good news is, in case I forgot to mention it, my career woes are no longer.  I found another teaching job, at a school much better than where I am currently teaching (and trust me, I …

Since my break up with Mr. Almost-Perfect, I’m still single, and I’ve decided I want to take a little break from guys for a while; however, that didn’t stop me from seeing a blast from my past.  I’m almost afraid to tell everyone about this encounter, especially since I’m going to see some of my …
