Karrie and the City

They say everything in life is just an extension of high school. We have petty colleagues, judgy mothers-in-law, and clique-y friends. Or, perhaps more accurately, high school, especially public high school, is just a microcosm of the world. Dating in your twenties can feel clique-y too. You’re put into a category based on your availability, commitment goals, and level of experience. Take me, for example. For the past several months, I’ve been saying I’m in my “single girl

Howdy from another city! I’m listening to Kenny Chesney, drinking an amber ale, and I have hot chicken tenders on the way. Where do y’all think I am? None other than Nashville, and I have to say, I really like the vibes here. Of course, I haven’t actually left the airport. I’m here on a layover, with a few hours to kill. And if one thing is for certain, when I have time to pass, I will spend it listening to music. The artist in this bar is taking requests. So somewhere betw

I'm back in New York, just for the day. First on my to-do list was, of course, the Rockefeller Center tree. It was just as majestic as I remembered. Funnily enough, the last time I caught a glimpse of the beautiful Rock tree was two Christmases ago… with my ex. And I genuinely thought I was going to marry that man. It truly is wild how time flies and times change. When I saw the tree two years ago, I was overcome with emotion. It brought me to tears — which does not happen

As a new Washington D.C. resident, I feel it is my civic duty to sniff out the local talent. So, I am back in the dating game. I live in a new city, with a new job, new friends, and new dates.  I have been doing some field research for you girls, and I have A LOT to report back. Of course, it would be just my luck that when I move to D.C., the longest government shutdown in history happens. After a month at my new job, I was furloughed. I tried to stay busy, going to the Sm

Dating in Dallas can be a tornado of blind dates, dating apps, ghosting, and finance bros with no personality. Luckily, I spoke to some experts in Dallas and beyond to help us navigate the dating pool in Dallas. CEO and founder of a marketing agency for restaurants in Dallas, Carlie Wallace, gave me some helpful insight on some of the hot-ticket date spots in Dallas. She is now married and successfully met, dated, and wed a guy she met in Dallas. So, girls, not all hope is lo
