I am a 33-year old single woman who has made the terrifying decision to start online dating.
I have also made the infinitely less terrifying decision to blog about it.
I’m not saying I am a professional writer or earn my living blogging. I am certainly not a relationship expert either. But, I do believe I can string a sentence together, and there will be no shortage of things to discuss if my “online” dates are as noteworthy as my “real world” dating experiences.
I would be lying if I told you that my previous encounters with the dating world didn’t play a big part in the inspiration behind creating this blog. It is my hope that the blog will allow me to adopt a new perspective on dating as well as a little more tolerance and patience during the early stages with new romantic potentials. History has shown that I like to freak out almost immediately, then sabotage everything and run away from the entire situation.
(spoiler alert: zoe’s got some trust issues!)
And since we’re getting to know each other so well; here are some of the ‘Zoessentials” – I am just a nerdy girl who loves movies, tv and video games. I also love hyperbole, sarcasm and grilled cheese sandwiches!! Midnight road trips are pretty damn awesome too!

Great blog Zoe. You should let other online daters know about the crazy men you’ve men or communicated with. My friend and I created a place where you can do that.
Thanks!! I’m now following your blog! Looking forward to reading about everyone else’s online dating experiences! Misery does love company and all that…
Hey, just found you when you commented on my blog! Your blog looks great!
Thanks Meg! That’s quite the coincidence! I’m glad we found each other.
Aw! I’ve done the freak-out / sabotage thing before too. I haven’t had a girlfiend that hasn’t done it at least once. Love is like a drug for people like us and it sometimes can intoxicate us to a point of pure madness. Well, I guess its really a mixture of that and the crazy men we date!
Oh, yeah… I’m placing the majority of the blame on the crazy men!
