Dating is So Overrated: A History
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in possession of a great personality must be in want of a partner.
Jillian SpiridonPublished 3 years ago in ConfessionsSex Was Bad Unless You Were Married
When I tell people that have only known me for a few years that I grew up as a Jehovah’s Witness they are shocked. I swear. I’m sexual. I’m very open-minded. They just can’t imagine that this could even be possible.
Autumn SeavePublished 3 years ago in ConfessionsExciting First Date and Disastrous First Impression
Let me just start off by saying, I am a huge klutz. And unfortunately, more common than not, it comes in the form of injuring myself seemingly out of nowhere. Whether it's tripping, falling, dropping my phone on my face as I'm laying in bed, or in this case like I have quite a few times prior, running into things.

A Love Letter to My Worst Heartbreak; You.
12/21/16 You. There was always something about you. I had never been able to read people like I could read you. And no one was ever able to read me as easily as you do. From the moment I first laid eyes on you, I don’t know, something clicked. I remember it all so vividly. I remember your smile. The shine in your eyes. That was about a year ago, huh? And now I feel that the roles have reversed. Now it’s me who is star struck by you, who wants to get to know more about you, who talks about you at home. Now you’re the cute girl. The amazing girl. I don’t know why I decided to write this, I feel it was the easiest way to express myself without stumbling or getting emotional. Truth be told, I never imagined myself here with you. I never really thought I would fall for you. And it never occurred to me that you would be such an important part of my life. I never imagined I would tell you secrets about myself, or that I would allow you to find secrets about myself I didn’t even know about. I was always very shut off from everyone. But with you I can’t help it. I don’t want to feel what I do for you, yet I do. I honestly don’t know what I want anymore. I think I should distance myself, but I also don’t think I can, and I don’t want you to. I want us to be close and just continue getting closer. But, I’m sitting here thinking, what am I really supposed to do? You are helping me realize I deserve to be loved and put first. And god I want that so badly. I want one day to be with someone I love, who loves me too, who looks at me like I am the best thing to ever happen to them. I want someone to look at me as if I am it. I want someone to look at me like I look at you, forgetting that there is a whole world. I don’t know why we are doing this. I don’t know why you were this significant to me, and why I fell for you. But I did, and I am not minding at all. But like you said, at the end of the day, no matter what, I am the one who is going to get hurt… Nothing will ever make me look at you badly, or change the fact you are my best friend. Nothing will ever damage who you are to me or the role you had in my life.
Monica CarneiroPublished 3 years ago in Confessions A Hike, Some Cheese, and a bottle of Merlot
The drive up from San Jose was very long. We didn’t have a lot to say. Well, I didn’t, anyway. I think he’s been trying to give me time. Time to hang myself because I am a big liar. Then, it started to rain, which was fabulous because I didn’t bring a coat. What am I doing? He’s not my type, I tell myself. Another lie. But none of this is much help now that we are on our way to Napa to check out a winery he thought I would love.

Dear Charlie R,
Abigail CookePublished 3 years ago in ConfessionsIce Cream Romance
This week was brutal. I look the same in the mirror, but on the inside, I am merely just remnants of the person I was on Monday. Still, my day is not over as I grab a shopping cart and walk into my local grocery store. I have wanted a glass of merlot since noon. However, instead of beelining to the wine isle, my crushed ego and spirit pull me over to where I know you are lurking, the freezer section. I impulsively grab you as I cannot resist your pint sized chocolatey and peanut butter goodness and I head to the checkout line.

Love is love. There is no denying attraction, infatuation or chemistry with someone, but how much resilience and heartache does it take to refuse to accept such feelings when it goes against societies norms, or our own internal battles of knowing who we are, or what we really want?
CarolinePublished 3 years ago in ConfessionsThe Boy She Fell For That I Wasn't
When I was 14, I had a secret online profile nobody knew about. I often thought to myself, "I wish I had been born a boy." I would have likely been labeled as transgender if society had known more about it back then. I was often already confused for a boy. My hair was short, and my figure hadn't femininely blossomed. I did typical guy things, and many of my friends forgot I was a girl. I "crossplayed" more than cosplayed, and my family was frequently frustrated about my male costumes and fashion choices. I didn't care. That was what I liked. If I wanted to look like a boy, then let me. What did it hurt?
E.L. MartinPublished 3 years ago in ConfessionsC.S. A story of a girl who believed in his words, not his actions.
This is a story of when one guarded girl let’s her guard down, and why most of the time guarded girls put them right back up with walls higher than before. We know that letting down your guard and being vulnerable is one of the most important things to do as a human, but rejection also keeps us from ever wanting to be in that situation.
Moon ChildPublished 3 years ago in ConfessionsOur Best Ever Sex Happened During the COVID Lockdown
Our love story started 7 years ago in the sinusoidal world of the software consulting industry. We were both young, brash, and full of beans and we struck off immediately. That, I was almost giving competition to Adonis and she to Aphrodite added fuel to the passionate fire already burning within us.

Meeting new people is awkward, or at least it is for those of us who lack that "life of the party" gene. With no shared experience to draw from, we often resort to meaningless small talk.
