I've always been put off by the idea of dating, I'm more of a "love at first sight" kind of person. My friends and family often poked fun at this, believing me overly selective. They thought if a guy seemed nice and was reasonably attractive, that I should,"stop being such a snob and give him a chance." Let me be clear, I wasn't a gold digger or excessively shallow type, but I didn't want to waste time with anyone with whom I didn't share that special spark! I suppose my friend's lectures eventually wore me down though, priming me for the events I'm about to share.

It all started with the Bumble era. Although I had been single for almost 7 years, I was living my best life. Then, society was like “You’re single? Oh, honey, you’re not happy” and I was like “Omg, you’re right, I’m going to be 30 in a couple years and I want to have a husband to like subsidize the rent and kill spiders and stuff.” Ya know, all the normal things that millennial girls dream about. So, there I was, downloading this new app called “Bumble,” which my friend called “the classy Tinder.” I would come to learn that no such oxymoron exists.

*names have been changed in this story* Summer 2014. A couple weeks ago my boyfriend/best friend had broken my heart, telling me he had decided to join the Army and he didn't want me to wait for him. It was one of the hardest breakups I had gone through, especially for the fact I could see myself marrying him.

Let me take you back to January 10, 2016: A day that changed my life forever in the best way possible, I would definitely say. I was at work on my lunch break when in comes a text from my then-boyfriend whom I had not really heard much from for the past couple weeks. Things were definitely rocky between the two of us.

Have you ever been encouraged to go on a blind date? Maybe you were merely pressured to join an online dating site, because you friends felt as though you were alone on the weekends while your children were spending their weekends with their father.

Well here goes. I have been single for almost 11 years since my first late partner passed away. I have been going on dates here and there but nothing was ever serious. I guess after being single for a long time the thought of being committed would be very hard for me to adjust. One day, I decided to download the app Grindr which is an app for gay men to meet other guys around them and after uploading my profile, I received a message from 3 guys and they were all seemed desperate so I thought this could be a bad idea and deleted the app after 2 days as messages I received was very bizarre. One day, I was at Starbucks and I ordered myself a caramel frappe with whipped cream and requested for extra caramel on top of it and I heard a voice from behind me saying "isn't that amazing to have more caramel on top of it?!" I thought to myself that the person behind me is probably talking to his friend but I turned and he was actually talking to me! I was kind of a surprise because nobody talks to me in public like EVER! But spontaneously, i responded with " It's the best feeling EVER!" we both smiled and I said, "I thought you were talking to someone" and he said "Nah, I was talking to you because I order the same thing and i feel like I was the only one who orders that but its good to know I'm not weird and there's someone out there having the same as me"
My Most Embarrassing Date
We've all done it. Went on a date with someone who we met online or even a blind date, and then once it finally happens, you're regretting every second of it. This happened to me not too long ago. I met a decent looking guy online, who was capable of having a respectful conversation with me (which is hard to come by these days with no forward questions or pervy comments). So we decided to meet up at a pizza shop.

I think everyone at one point and time can say they have had some pretty lousy dates with some unappealing human beings. I think I may have the story to beat all stories.

It was a lovely Spring day in Savannah, Georgia. I remember it vividly although I wish I could forget. I had just recently gotten my undergrad and moved to the South where my family had been living for nearly two years. Fresh off the boat (or janky Jeep Liberty) with a film degree, I figured I could get a good start in good ole' Georgia. I mean they filmed Magic Magic 2 there, for goodness sake!

It had been a year since that hot July day when I told him I was leaving. He acted hurt, and stood there the next day faking tears as I pulled my car away with my two dogs in back.

What really constitutes a bad date? Is it the person you go with? Is it the choice of where you go/what you do? Is it a combination of the two? I'd lean towards the latter myself. In today's world, with the rise of Tinder and online dating, it's never been easier to connect with people and get a sense of who they are before meeting for that nerve-shredding first date.

I was 17 or 18 at the time and I’d gotten a head-start on moving from my folks’ home into a two-story apartment just down from five-points in Toledo, Ohio.
