All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.

The Supply Closet
Annie opened the door to what she thought was the bathroom. Oops, nope. Despite the darkness she could just barely make out tight space and shelving: a supply closet. She had to pee like nobody’s business, but Phillip was fumbling with his sound system back in the living room, so she decided to—what the hell—snoop. She reached out blindly in front of her, expecting a string, and there it was, hanging from the ceiling, her fingers brushing against it. She took a tug, and there was light.

Dream Date
She looked into the mirror her dress was a bright shade of crimson, the colour of blood. She thought about how it made her cheeks shine out of the mess of her dark hair. Should she wear it up or down?? Pinning it back she could see the small scar on the side of her left temple. It doesn’t matter she thought he is never going to like me or my hair she sighed, not with this ugly scar she thought.

Truth or Dare
He and I had met before. We both attended the same preparatory school before college. Everyone knew he had a way of talking to people, there was something effortless in his sincerity. When you are young, you tell yourself that your emotions don’t make sense. It becomes inherent for you to convince yourself that the risky choice is often usually the wrong one. The complexity of relationships and where you truly feel you belong in them, is something very delicate. Like lace, twisting and turning around itself, looping and webbing in complicated patterns. Somehow, it embellishes truths, it compensates and enhances. It can cover and deceive. When you strip it away you see the truth. If you tear it, you feel guilty. When you are young you believe in the labels you have given to yourself and to your life. In this case, I was young and dedicated to my labels, I never questioned what I could be without them. My label at the time was, 19-year-old girl, in California devoted a long distance relationship that was barely afloat. At the time, I was wrapped intimately with guilt trips, expectations and lack of communication skills. I remained vigilant to this boy like a buoy attached to a basin, swaying around in circles carelessly bobbing around the difficult attachment. Prior to my first day at prep, I had spoken with him many times leading up to Day 1. He was the only person I knew there, he was a friend and I wanted to see his face desperately. We had never met in person until meeting there. He was the reason I was there, being the one who told me about it. He reached out to me and convinced me to take a leap of faith, and it wouldn’t be the last.

Maybe It's Fate?
I sat on the edge of my bed, tightly clutching a picture of my wife. Tears began slowly running down my cheeks, I started to sob. Hannah was my world, the only love I had ever known. It was eight years earlier that very night, she gave me one last kiss and softly whispered in my ear, "I love you." Hannah closed her eyes as I held her tightly in my arms. I felt her life slipping away from me. Her fierce and long battle with cancer was finally over. Our Hannah would no longer suffer. For that, I gave thanks. But for our children and myself, the pain and suffering of her loss would always be with us. As I stared at her picture, my heart ached, and the tears flowed like a river down my face. My sobbing became uncontrollable. Although eight years had passed. The pain of her loss had not eased for me.

Mr.Avalon
I met a mysterious, tall, dark, gorgeous man purely by chance. One night out on the town with my gal pal, a man caught my friends eye sitting in a classic 1987 black Carrera Porsche. He stared at me, rolled down his window, then my friend yelled out, “Hi!” He replied “Hey” then she said to me, “ask for his number,” I drunkenly yelled out, “what’s your number?” After a few flirtatious texts for a couple of weeks, we decided to meet up at the iconic fountain at Central Park. He approached me with such grace and two coffees in his hands as well as a small black notebook sticking out of his back pocket. “I normally don’t ask for random guys numbers that I didn’t even truly meet, let alone not step out of the car, by the way. Although, I don’t regret it,” I said. Then he said, “Don’t worry, you wont regret meeting me.”

Mountain High
Callie and I were still cautiously choosing our topics of discussion as we passed the 5,200-foot marker and drove into the "downtown" area of Idyllwild. I guess calling it downtown would be an injustice. Looking around, we slowly drove through the area looking for a place to eat; I found it to be a rustic oasis sitting in the shadow of tall mountains.

Playing Above the Rim
Playing Above the Rim “She’s out of your league, Man. Just forget about her,” My college buddy, Lance, said. “I know,” I said. “But I can’t stop thinking about her. C’mon, at least let me try. Introduce me.”

Sacred Space. Second Place in Dream Date Challenge.
The day collapsed into evening with a sigh of relief from the group. The workers were tired, not just from today, but from all the days that came before. Their hands were raw and chapped from exposure and dust particles flying up with each passing car. Some had splinters from the wooden posts they carried as they paced along the shoulder of the highway. LOCKED OUT, the signs read. It had been months of the strike with no end in sight. They watched as the season turned from winter to spring. From snow pants and extra gloves to sunglasses and on the warmer days even t-shirts. At the beginning there was outrage from the community, and the support from passing vehicles was heartwarming. Cars honked, good samaritans dropped off coffee and donuts, even pizza on one occasion. But the community was getting tired of the rolling strikes, and it was taking it’s toll on the morale of the workers too. First it was the teachers, then the nurses, and now the factory workers. It seemed to be an ongoing issue with different sections of the town, each group putting their lives on hold. Ali had mixed feelings about it. As the youngest in the crew and only one of two women she felt she had to stand her ground with the crew men. She didn’t want special treatment, and while some of those harsher winter days out on the picket line were enough to make her want to quit, she never would. She felt a camaraderie with what she now considered her group. The other woman, Marg, had spent her life as a factory worker, her skin weathered with age and stress and even her voice had deepened to that of the men’s. Ali on the other hand was Marg’s opposite; young, petite, fragile. Some of the men would shield her from the winds when they came, other times they’d offer her their coats or extra mitts. When it was her turn to lug the wood to the burn barrel someone usually stepped in to take her place. The only one that treated her the same as the others was Mack. When it was Ali’s turn to collect the signs at the end of the shift and place them in the back of the pick-up truck, Mack would joke “better you than me!” while he sat scrolling his phone. Something in the way he smirked when he said it made her understand that he wasn’t being a jerk, he was showing that he saw her as his equal. She had heard him say that very sentence the day before to Al, the elderly worker. She couldn’t quite put her finger on why it made her feel better about the situation, but it did.
