The Limo Driver Turned Into My Life Coach!

Where do I even start… Holidate has been one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Right when I was just starting to warm up to the idea of dating again, I was presented with what turned into an incredible experience. I went from thinking about dating again to suddenly having 3 [...]

I Have Always Felt a Weird “Calling” to California…

Before the show, I had no past experience with blind dates. I thought they only occurred in movies. But I was and am still completely open to the idea. You never know what will happen in your life if you don’t take risks. If you don’t try how will you know [...]

I’m Proud That I Took a Risk

I was approached about Holidate when I was shopping in Santa Monica, and since I’m single, I thought it sounded like a fun (and once-in-a-lifetime) experience.
I was excited to travel and to go on the dates, but I was very nervous about dating on TV. And, as a publicist, I think I felt extra [...]

I Feel Like I Broke a Scout Code or Something

I had never been on any blind dates until I went on the show. Too chicken! I decided to give the city-swapping idea a chance because I am swamped with work. I needed a vacation planned especially for me. I wanted to be catered to and be treated like a lady by total strangers.
Still, I [...]

Worth the Price of Admission

I had never been on a blind date before the show. But I love to travel, I’m interested in trying out the ‘vibe’ of guys in another town, and I’m also interested in a move, a big change – so I did it!
I was very nervous about dating on TV. But I kept reminding myself [...]

I Loved Every Minute

I never thought casually perusing Craig’s List for jobs would afford me the opportunity “to find love in another city.” I remember vividly seeing the casting call for “Holidate,” clicking excitedly at the prospect of being selected and even getting a mere “call back.” Really, what are the odds? After months of nervous [...]

Runaway Dater

Oh the Dating World…what an exciting yet frightening place; a place I chose to avoid for the past four years!  My best friends actually refer to me as the “Runaway Dater.”  Most people look at me in disbelief and are unable to understand why I have been content being single.  However, I embrace my outlook [...]

First Date in Nine, Yes, Nine Years…

Holidate was my first blind date experience! I had never been on one. Frankly, I hadn’t been on any dates since I was 19.  I gave city-swapping a shot because I have made myself a promise to try everything once.  Swapping cities took me out of my element and I made me jump into the [...]

I’m More Excited Than Ever About What’s To Come

I have to admit, for me, dating has been an interesting adventure. I know most single women in their 30’s would agree with me… it’s not easy out there. There are some great guys and then there are some characters. I know I could write a short novel on dating mishaps and [...]

I Have Always Been a “Glass Half Full” Girl

I am the type of person who does anything at least once, or at least tries to experience new and different things. So, when the show came calling, I immediately thought that this would be something that I could add to my list of ever expanding “experiences.”
Since my divorce, I have been in [...]
