How Dating Too Many Assholes Turned Me into a Paranoid Girlfriend
We’re all good at something, whether it’s art, a sport, or a hobby. Me? I’m really great at dating assholes. Of course, for most talents, people should be proud of them. Hell, some people even win awards for them. But my talent (or should we call it a curse?) is something I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy. Okay, well maybe my worst enemy, but still…

The Night of the Election
It starts with an offer to chain smoke and talk about life, an offer that any logical person can't refuse. I get my words confused, my conversations rather. It makes me feel like a bad person, like I've had too many interpersonal conversations lately; like I've bared my soul to the point where she can no longer find her shirt when the sun starts to rise and light starts to stream into the short windows panes, and she's embarrassed. But when we woke up, my skin was barely concealed by the mismatched covers that occupy the mattress that I paid one hundred dollars for to keep my back off of the floor, and I wasn't embarrassed.

How Honest Is Too Honest in Dating
I recently saw a question on this website/chat group asking basically how upfront people can be, especially when it comes to dating and sex. This is something that is kind of complex. You can't say whatever you want, whenever you want. It's not that simple, because there is a time, place, and a way to say everything, you can't just blurt stuff out. There are some people who are sensitive.

Stop Leading People on!
Dating in 2019 doesn't seem fun. A consistent theme I see is people being lead on. They're given expectations that don't match their dates' intentions, which I find extremely unnecessary. When you meet someone, make it clear to them why you're dating. If you're not after a relationship, let them know instead of pretending that you are. You're not responsible for someone else's happiness, but you're responsible for how your actions are making someone feel. The least you can do is to be honest.

Being Involved with Married People
Recently, I heard a woman on the radio talking about how she was involved with a married man for three years. He had one kid and was a high powered professional in Atlanta. The problem was that he gave her the typical lines people tell the other man or woman. He said, "I'll leave my wife for you and we can build a life together." She was hurt that he didn't leave his wife. She even stalked the wife! She wanted to destroy him in the newspapers. She kept saying that she took care of him and she was basically the wife.
