About Me
Short version:
I am a writer, online dating expert, and former speed dating host.
Longer, more accurate version:
I have always been a seeker. Whether I’m hiking the mountains of Patagonia to achieve some kind of spiritual nirvana, or driving around L.A. in search of the perfect margarita, I’m relentless in my quest. As a writer and dater, this inclination has driven me a little nuts.
After a bad break-up a few years ago, I put my expertise to work for me. I was having a hard time meeting men in all the usual bar scene ways, so I decided to seek out other options. Thanks to an episode of Sex and the City and the magic of Google, I began hosting speed dating events. I figured the more men I could meet, the better my chances of meeting someone…well, decent. My experience taught me how to navigate a very fickle, elusive dating culture while still keeping my sanity and perspective. After hundreds of dates, I’ve also learned how to be more discerning when it comes to choosing the right guy.
I’m a native of Houston, Texas, but now live in Los Angeles. I am currently working on a book about my dating experiences.

Hey Kelly!
Ive been reading your blog and I have a question, all the guys i know are really immature. I dont know if its just because they’re in college but all they do is sit around all day and play video games. How am i going to find a nice mature guy who will treat me like a princess?
Hi Sarah,
Ahh, gotta love this question, thanks for asking! First off, yes—college boys are young so I wouldn’t recommend getting serious with them—besides, there is no rush! As for the video game obsession, I know guys in their thirties who still play them endlessly, so age isn’t so much a factor. I think you should find guys with more eclectic tastes, who would rather get out and explore the city than stay inside a virtual world. There are plenty of college guys who aren’t chained to their X Boxes, it’s just a matter of expanding your social circle and meeting new people. Good luck and let me know how it goes!
Thanks Kelly!
That really helps! Thanks for the advice girl
Hello Kelly,
What do you think about younger women dating older men? I know the cliche is that the older man wants a younger woman for her looks. And, she wants him for his money and experience/connections, etc. But, do you think there could be something more between them? In other words is a 15-20 year age gap such a bad thing when you have so much in common with a person much older?
Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and appearance. I must say that you’ve done a fantastic job with this. Additionally, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Opera. Superb Blog!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for your article about becoming and being a Stepmother. This is BY FAR the most difficult job I have ever had, and you captured it perfectly. Please write more about this subject…there are many of us who would love to read we are not crazy/mean/terrible women.
