dating

All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.

Learning, Who You’re Dealing with
In all honesty, I am deeply wounded by the videos that I saw in your phone. In addition, the text messages from you; pursuing other women. I died a thousand deaths.

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK—Let’s face it. First dates can be nerve-racking—especially when the bill finally arrives at the end of a meal. Who pays? The reality is there’s no clear-cut etiquette on who picks up the dreaded first date tab.

Conflict Is Growth in Disguise
About six hours after the above picture was taken, my partner and I had a 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 spat. ⁣⁣⁣⁣Not full-blown screaming with pots and pans being thrown, but it was enough of an argument for me to retreat, shut down, and wonder how we got so low, after a highly positive afternoon.

I Don't Love Lucy
In Job Corps I had a lot of female friends, with of course Shawna being the most prominent one. However, one of our really good friends was a girl named Lucy. The three of us did a lot together and got along easily. Lucy was like one of the guys. She was very different than Shawna. Shawna was very outgoing and flirty, and Lucy was more reserved with men. While Shawna was very boy crazy and talked openly about how guys looked, Lucy did not. Lucy even nicknamed Shawna Esther as in estrogen, because she was so boy crazy. While Shawna was not funny per se, she was fun, and Lucy was downright funny. I enjoyed her a lot. She got my sense of humor. When I would say something dry and witty, she would catch it. She liked my quote of "Tense. It's a stage above ninths." She could match me in the wits department, and I liked that. One time when we went to karaoke she said she wanted to sing the theme to I Love Lucy. I didn't get it. I thought it was because her name was Lucy, but it was because it's a wordless theme. Lucy did not sing when we went to karaoke. Tim however was a good singer.

July
When I was a young girl, I remember sitting on my bedroom floor, on my knees, next to my open window. I was praying to God and I remember thinking if my windows open then my prayer would travel faster to God's ears. I was praying a very serious prayer for such a young girl—I was praying about who my future husband would be.

Ending My Date, Abruptly
On Friday night I went on a first date with a fella I met on an online dating app. We had chatted for a short period before he asked if I'd like to go out with him that evening. He wasn't cute, but he wasn't ugly either, so I figured why not?

I Am Too Young For This - Part 1
It was an afternoon in late July, and I had just gotten into an argument with the guy I was seeing at the time. We were yelling profane things to each other in the office at work. I decided to walk out before I said something I knew that I would regret. Hours passed and I had not heard from him, which was abnormal for the fights we typically had. As more time passed I had decided it was in my best interest to go about my day with the plans I had made. So I went to meet a few of my co-workers for dinner.

Train Yourself to Appreciate the Little Things in the Relationship More
Thanks to chick flick movies and romantic novels, we are often under the false impression that grand acts of love are what keep the spark alive in a relationship. On the contrary, it’s the little things that remind us of why we fell in love with our partner in the first place. Unfortunately, couples get too comfortable over time, and the effort we were willing to invest in the beginning to please our significant other kind of wears off as it becomes more serious.

How to Make Your Long Distance Relationship Work
Pedro and I. The problem some people have with the idea of long distance relationships is that it will always be long distance. Couples spend years having online relationships or travelling to and from one another to maintain their LDR. With every long distance relationship, there must come a point where you discuss your long term goals.

The Key
I’ve been in the process of discovery regarding symbols and perspective in regards to time. The most recent totem being a simple key. This key was given by my love shorty after we started dating, or possibly slightly before. At first the key represented something special and light, a totem showing trust and devotion. It felt light and almost magical in my pocket, like something really new, close, and special was entering my life. At this point I had not stopped to question why such a small token sparked these feelings. I continued down the path of the lack of examination for a while, until I started noticed something strange. This bright key started to become tarnished and heavy, like a rock had been fastened to my key chain without permission. It was a troubling pull of reality on my mind.
