This is a random blog for fun, and for sharing! We aren't trying to change the dating world, we are just saying you aren't alone as a single person. And, there is some really funny stuff that happens out there.
If you want to be a guest contributor, please contact Shantell Ogden or Chantel Sloan. We'd love to hear your stories too!
If you’re like me, you come across or a lot of “expert” dating advice (or have it well-meaningly nudged at you). “How to catch the right guy!”, “Top 10 dating mistakes!”, ”What men wish women would know they don’t want…
Arielle and I have decided to sit down and write some resolutions for you about how we will make our dating lives better in 2016. We've called in some family members to give us some…
This week I was talking with a friend about all of the experiences that we have had ‘out there’ in the dating world. For some, who marry by age 25, it just…
Now it’s time to really let some steam out on the blog and talk about one of the touchiest situations known to men and women in the dating world: the blind date. First off I’d like to…Read more

So unlike Chantel and many of my other brilliant and achieving friends, I do not have a PhD. But, I have a couple of degrees hanging on the wall, and I’ve faced some pretty interesting education-related shall we…Read more
We’ve decided that normally we will not tell stories on here that didn’t happen to us or could identify a single person (see guidelines below). However, this is not a normal story.
We are glad that you want to share your experiences with us and others in our blog! Here are a few guidelines to make sure the content and tone of the article are in keeping with the goals of the blog:
1. This is meant to be a place to laugh and commiserate together. Please keep the tone fun and light- even if you are sharing something real and introspective. 2. Many people have very real issues when it comes to dating including lack of self-esteem, insecurity or relationship problems they learned elsewhere. This blog isn’t about pointing fingers or "calling out" anyone else. Please focus on your own experiences instead of trying to identify flaws in others. Walking the fine line between sharing a bad experience and pointing a finger can be very difficult to do. If you are unsure, please send along your content and we will be happy to give you feedback and ideas. 3. Please don’t use names or experiences that would clearly identify one person. For example, if your boyfriend dumped you last week and gave you a teddy bear you burned last night, make it sound like it was a ‘few years’ ago and change it to a stuffed bunny or something like that. 4. The plight of single people can be identified with no matter what your religion or background is. However, if you want to share thoughts that center around church-specific experiences, they are welcome.
5. Have fun, and oh- one more thing- please keep it G, or at least PG-rated. Our parents read this. :)
