NEW HERE? START HERE. ❤️
Hi, I’m Halaina!
I’m single, dating, and still figuring it out as I go.
This little corner of the internet is where I share the real dating stories, what they’re teaching me, and the things I’m trying along the way.
I definitely don’t have dating all figured out. That’s kind of the point. 😂
What brought you here?
Pick whatever sounds most like what you need today.
Okay...but why a dating blog?
Fair question. 😂
I started this blog because I was honestly just really frustrated with dating.
I felt like I was trying, learning, getting discouraged, trying again...and somewhere in all of that, people kept encouraging me to write about it.
So eventually, I did.
And weirdly enough, writing about dating started helping me understand dating a little better.
It gave me a place to look back at my experiences, laugh at some of them, learn from others, and realize that even the dates that went absolutely nowhere could still teach me something.
But there was also a deeper reason I needed to start figuring this out.
For a while, dating was really discouraging for me.
And I don’t just mean that I wasn’t meeting the right guy.
Dating had started affecting the way I saw myself.
I started wondering what I was doing wrong, why dating seemed easier for other people, and whether there was something about me that just wasn’t being chosen.
I didn’t just want to figure out how to get more dates.
I wanted to learn how to date without letting dating decide how I felt about myself.
Somewhere along the way, I started thinking... maybe I’m not the only one trying to figure this stuff out.
And that’s why this became more than a collection of funny stories about guys with nicknames.
It became a place for me to look at what I’m learning, try new things, ask better questions, grow in my faith, and hopefully become a little wiser about love along the way.
AND YES...FAITH IS A BIG PART OF THIS ❤️
I'm a Christian, and my relationship with God shapes a lot of the way I think about dating, relationships, marriage, and the kind of life I hope to build someday.
That doesn't mean I've figured out Gods plan for me and my dating journey.
Actually...I have a lot of questions!
But the more I continue every step in my journey, I'm learning what it looks like to pray about relationships without expecting God to make every decision for me. To have standards without creating an impossible checklist. To trust His timing when mine looks a little different than I expected. And to remember that my relationship with God still matters even when my relationship status hasn't changed.
So you'll see faith woven throughout this blog too.
Because for me, dating isn't separate from my relationship with God.
It's one of the places I'm learning to trust Him.
So if you’re single, dating, confused, hopeful, discouraged, curious—or some combination of all five...
you’re welcome here.
