About a month ago, a friend excitedly said, “Your birthday is coming up, isn’t it?” “Wow,” I thought. “How does she remember my birthday? So thoughtful.” Out loud. “Yes, yes it is.” Her reply, “YES! I’m so excited to read your blog about reasons you’re single.” You’re welcome. 😛 For those who are new to […]

Strange Ways I’ve Set (or almost set) People Up
Two years ago, I wrote a post about 5 Crazy Ways I’ve Been Set Up. Today, I add the companion post with ways I have set other people up, or in some cases, tried to set others up because I rarely succeed. But who cares about success rates in dating, right?
33 Reasons Why I’m Still Single at Age 33
So here we are again. “[I’ve] had a birthday, shout hooray….One year older, and one year older”… as my modified version of the Primary birthday song goes. The laughs, the tears, the “I seriously can’t believe that even happened” are now here for your review. Presenting… 33 Reasons Why I’m Still Single at Age 33 […]
32 Reasons Why I’m Still Single at age 32
Woah. Another year went by just like that. I didn’t want to write another blogpost like this. And, quite frankly, I thought I’d surely run out of reasons why I’m single. But no. Apparently I can go on for years (please, no). (Really, please no). The bad thing about getting older and still being single […]
5 Crazy Ways I’ve Been Set Up
I’ve probably gone on at least a million “blind” dates in my life. I say “blind” because there’s hardly any such thing since the advent of Facebook (and Google and LinkedIn, not that I would know where to look…). Thus the picture of blinds on my post. Dates these days are less blindfold-y and more […]
June roses in…October
“God gave us memories, that we might have June roses in the December of our lives.” — James Barrie (paraphrased by Thomas S. Monson). I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s a December of my life…more like an October. And I do agree with Anne of Green Gables, “I’m so glad I live in a world where […]
31 reasons why I’m still single at age 31
Well, you probably didn’t think I could do it. I didn’t think I could do it. After writing 30+ reasons last year about why I was still single at 30, I for sure didn’t think I would be able to come up with 31 MORE reasons. (And maybe let’s just not mention that I thought […]

SLC Mid-singles Conference Review
I’ve gone and done it. I went to an LDS mid-singles event on purpose. (You see, IÂ did accidentally go to a mid-singles fireside some four or five years ago. It scared me. I needed to face my fear.) But a week ago, several mid-singles LDS wards in the valley hosted a conference with about 1200 […]
Liz Writes This
Oh hey…it’s been a while there, blog-reader friends. No, I’m not dating someone. I know that’s what you were wondering. There are far more exciting endeavors that consume my time. For example, the real delay has been because *look around*… I changed my site. Move your blog to WordPress, they said. It will be easy, they said. […]
3 Ideas for when you’re “past feeling” in dating
This wouldn’t be a blogpost without me saying that dating is the worst. The worst of it is that it keeps getting worse even when it’s sometimes better. I have been on a lot of bad dates in my life (the date where the guy didn’t tell me it was a formal dance and I […]
