What you want is fling-level lust + emotional/intellectual connection. You’ll find it, but if finding lasting love was supposed to be easy…scratch that, it should be easy, but it’s not. WTF god?
Don’t think too much on it Alison. I have a feeling that when you find actual love, all the questions you have will answer themselves. As goofy as this sounds, I’d much rather meet a girl like you because you accidently spilled coffee all over me then through a pre-arranged contest. Pretty girls are always easier to talk to when they are apologizing for ruining a new shirt. Keep up the good work and excellent hand gestures. Love ya kid
Your comments at the end of the vlog were insightful. I am struggling with feeling “consumed” by thoughts of an ex girlfriend, and consumed with “all the other complicated shit that comes with dating.” You posed a great question, “what drives you to push through that?” I wish I knew the answer. I am trying to find other outlets that make me happy. Things like working out, hanging with friends, or volunteering. But those things still don’t seem to fill the void that is created by the stress and anxiety of unsuccessful dating.
At 28 years old, I find myself worried that I’m never gonna meet a quality girl, and that every worthwhile girl around my age is already taken. It is comforting to know that there are still some women, as exception as you, that are still single. Or maybe you’re the only one left….
stop thinking about it so much. if you like hanging out with somebody.. then do it.. every day you don’t have to have a “what am i doing? what is this?” conversation with yourself. this stuff works out on its own, and is often sabotaged by questioning the shit out of it. just feel whatever you feel and don’t interrogate yourself.. oh and be vulnerable if the dude isn’t a dick

As a man who has been happily married for almost ten years, I have some insight into this. Running away from pain is futile, because it will happen no matter what you do. Being alone is painful, too. Do you want that? You could have a child without being married, but do you want to be a single mom? Unfortunately, popular culture gives us this adolescent idea that a happy relationship is perpetually full of sparks and charm. Some of that exits, but here is the bottom line: You’re looking for a mate; a guy who is good looking, nice, stable, giving, and has good values. Some people have bad luck, but a lot of single women I know can’t distinguish between love and sparks, or, just like single men, are not willing to put in the work that real relationships require.
Basically, I’m telling you that you should be marrying the guy who liked you during high school, but you just saw as a friend. He’s probably much better looking by now.

The very confidence and position of comfort/strength you describe will draw the right type to you…. as long as you’re not spending 4-5 hours on the road every day, that is. Passing freeway notes is frowned upon by the local constabulary,
Hey, Alison. I think it’s natural to have some misgivings about dating because you have been independent for so long and when you’re in a relationship you feel like you have to answer to someone and give up parts of yourself. Just find somebody that enjoys your company and doesn’t want to change you and you’ll be fine. So long as they don’t interfere with our Alison Vlog’s, he’s got my approval. Good luck in the dating world and take your time.
I always enjoy hearing why your single. It’s funny how you have to explain why you are single, like it’s some tragic disease. On the upside, think about how much you’re saving on couples therapy and divorce lawyers. There’s always a dark cloud to every silver lining.
I like U dressed in black and a little dark lighting, but try experimenting with putting a lamp or a light up against the wall (if any) behind your computer, (U may have to raise it a little above the screen, just don´t point the bulb at you) the light will not point strait at your face but bounce of the wall making shadows more subtle. take care
Hearing U talk about lighting issues, The cheapest way to go with cams is experimenting with a lamp or a light bulb by putting it behind your computer (U might have 2 adjust the the height,just don´t let it shine on your face rather the wall (if any),the light will bounce of the wall making shadows more subtle but this can also be a trial and error using the right strength of bulb or lamp. many Youtubers use this trick and a cheap halogen lamp with a 12walt bulb can make wonders. Take care. oh and please keeping on being our friend
Dating is like eating bacon. You should only do it if you like it. Mmmmm bacon. Crap, what was I saying? Oh yeah… Warning, if you get serious with someone many of your male fans (some female – nothing wrong with that) will be severely depressed.

I have a very strong feeling that Alison totally chickened out!! Or maybe, she’s dating both finalists now, and not telling us because they wanna talk about it during the show…. or maybe Papa Rosen met both finalists and gave them both the “boot to the head”
Hey Alison, just wanted to give you some critical criticism about your vlog. In future vlogs please close the bedroom door behind you. I really enjoy looking in the mirror of your closet door and trying to figure out what other cool stuff is in your room. The open door makes the lighting hard to do that!

Rosen: FYI you were great on the show with Rogan. I noticed some douches complaining on Twitter, as they’re wont to do. Not only were you not bad on that episode, you were actually even better than usual.
How can somebody one degree of separation from freaking Drew Pinsky be in this state? I wanted you to be a guest on Loveline, but what the hell. Just call in!
If you as honest in your relationships as you appear to be in your VLOG’s and missives, you WILL find that right Big Lug of a mensch. That said, I think women are at a disadvantage dating in LA/South Coast as men there can easily superficiouly play the field longer there with commitments.

There is no way you do not have a boyfriend.
At least you’re dating now. Baby steps Alison, baby steps.

Did Rogan get you high tonight? Awfully conscious of your hands…
In affairs of the heart, it is wise to be prudent.
Prudent, not fearful or pessimistic.
Or as your boss might say, “Measure twice. Cut once.”.
What!?!? She’s barely starting to date again, and you are talking about babies running around!!
who’s the person behind the door!!!!
you almost forgot? and we even get a 5:30 minute vlog? sweet.

Alison in your situation, and I think Dr. Drew would agree, you need to GET SOME BABY!, YEAH BABY, OH BEHAVE. Ciao Bella.
You are cat person? gross.

Ha!
Keep meeting good people. Don’t let your anxiety about romance get to you.

I think Alison saying she’s single is a ruse similar to Stern always saying he’s got a small dick. She’s way to cute/funny/clever.
