The Lo-Down: "Dating - Part 1"

there back *does happy dance*

Throughout my lifetime, I've left pieces of my heart here and there. And now, there's almost not enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that my ambition far exceeded my talent. There are no more white horses.

glad to have the lo-down back! haha very interesting and great subject focus. very imformative and also hilarious; "whoa, that was a lot of acceptance i wasn't expecting" haha. keep it up!

Omg.. Malinda Lo! :D :D

Wow. Sarah seems to have lost some weight! 

Yay The Lo-Down is back! :D

Hallelujah! Of all the vlogs on this site, I might need this one the most! The whole "figure out what you want" part is very relevant right now. What if I want all three options...? I look forward to the forthcoming advice, I'm gonna need it:)

---------------------------------------------------------

Callie: You don't even like sandwiches!

Arizona: But I like the girl who has the sandwiches.

Good advice and very funny, def tuning in next time!

Let's get one thing straight, I'm not.

I can't believe you're back. This used to be my all-time favorite vlog and I was so sad to see you leave.

Thanks for coming back. I'm looking forward to watching your new episodes.

P.S. Is the Crock P.O.C. gonna make an appearance this year? 

er, women, back! I missed your humor and wisdom. A series on dating 

is definitely needed :)  

Yay Malinda .. Yay Sarah!  You guys are the best ... very well thought out vlog today;  you could become professional lesbian dating gurus. <g>

Malinda .. congrats on your marriage, and Sarah ... how is parenthood going?

A big Lo-Down fan ... Saradove 

Yay so happy to see you guys back, I love the chemistry you guys have together! Great vlog! And a good topic choice :)

 On a side note, what is Sarah's young 'un called??

I'm so happy to see this back! 

I just read your book, Malinda - it was great, but I won't tell you what I especially liked here and spoil it for others - and now I'm seeing this. :)  Banner day.

*sighs* Yay :o)

Since Jenn and Dee are on a hiatus or  possibly will never return on Ae.com.  I can breathe a sigh of relief they are still POC vloggers here on Ae.com.  I am  doing my Happy Dance!

Welcome Back with open arms and a bear hug.  Yes,I'm that Happy.

You two looking great as ever!

The topic is perfect b/c I,too, need some help in the dating dept.  You're so right on.  A person defintely has to know what they want out of dating and what they are looking for.

 I can't wait for next six episodes!

Exiting: Doing my happy dance! =).  

has made my day.  Thank you!

Hi ladies. I am fairly new to AE.com, so I had never seen your blog before, so I went back and watched your previous blogs. The Crock POC was definitely my favorite feature and I am in full favor of bringing it back.

Although this has nothing to do with dating, it would be great to hear an update on your lives since the hiatus. How is parenting life treating you and Claudia, Sarah? Any plans for another baby?

And your book is coming out next week, Malinda! Congrats! What has that process been like? Have you considered writing something else besides young adult fiction?

Oh, and here's a dating question. And it's about POC. Two-for-one! Do you have any advice for people in their first interracial relationship? Is it even an issue in today's society?

You all are so sweet!  *sigh*  Ok, back to business.  Parenting is amazing and my little one's name is Natasha. 

Natasha, Natasha Bean, Boo Boo Girl, Boo Boo Bear, Boo Boo-est of the Boo Boo Girls....and any other nick names we come up with in the moment- is a wonderful incredibly active and VERY independent child.  Claudia and I are in serious trouble.  We can already see the terrible-twos glinting in her eyes.  Usually when she is removing her own diaper while coyly looking at us.  Velcro is not our friend.  We wouldn't have it any other way.

It's so nice seeing so many familiar Lo-Down fans!  You all Rock!

Newish to your vlog, I guess I only discovered AE last Easter and not all the Vlogs right away. I did watch a couple eps a while from the archives but I'm glad you're back. Recent ones are best :)

At 3:41 Sarah you totally had a bit of a Rachel Maddow grin going on there :) perhaps 'cus I was daydreaming about RM at the time but still..   :p

So good seeing you ladies back. Hope u enjoyed ur time away.

I have a question...one u probably already have planned to answer in a future vlog...Since u mention friends, and possibly dating friends of friends...here's my thorny issue...I have a good friend, who is still good friends her one of her exes.....whom I have become friends with as well....friend number one has this rule that I quote, "None of my friends date any of my exes"....which I understand to be a rule in dating in general str8/gay...where can I find the loophole if the ex and I WANT to date, but both of us cherish our friendship with friend number one....

Thank you very much ladies,

again welcome back!
