Speed Dating

Remember in movies like “Hitch” and “40-year-old Virgin” (shown below) when they go to these speed dating events in which you get 5 - 10 minutes to get to know each person in the room? Has anyone actually attended one of these events or tried this out? If so, please share your experiences both good and bad, I would love to know more. More specifically, are there any of these events offered in the tristate area? Asking for a friend… ; )

I’ll let a “nice guy” go if we’re not compatible. I’ve done it, I don’t give a flying fuck. I don’t care if he’s nice and will treat me right. I don’t care if he has a nice car and is in love with me. If I don’t like him back or we don’t have the essentials in common, I’m not settling for less. I’ve been called a “man eater” lately for the simple fact that I just break these guys’ hearts. Well, I’m not doing it on purpose. If I feel no connection, the guy has his priorities on backwards, or if he’s “lost”, I simply don’t want him. I don’t care if I also have to go on more dates with assholes. It’s the way the dating game is. I know what I like, what I want, and how I want it. Is that such a crime? Just because you would look good in pictures next to me, does not mean I will be in a relationship with you. My life is fucking awesome right now. I’m striving for big and better things. You have to be one hell of a guy for me to want you so bad to give up all the awesomeness that comes with being single.

Romance-Does it still exist?!

  Where did all the romance go?! I am constantly asking myself this question. Especially when I am approached by someone or when someone “slides into my DM’s” it’s like all sense of romance has been LOST! The messages I sometimes receive from boys (I refuse to refer to them as men) are just completely disgusting!!! Who the hell raised these guys?! What makes these boys think that they can talk to me like that?! For example I had a boy message me this exact message “ I love your boobs”, COME ON!!! REALLY?! I want to know who this works on because I’m pretty sure no woman EVER has seen that and been like YESS this is my prince charming I finally found him. I also had another guy message me a picture of himself with no shirt asking me to join him in the shower and following it up with telling me to not fall in love with him…ALRIGHT EASY THERE COWBOY, who the fuck said I was falling in love with you, I’m sorry I clearly didn’t get the memo that you were GODS GIFT TO WOMEN and you have all these women falling in love with you. DON’T WORRY I will be more than happy to not fall in love with you! Stop assuming because I’m a woman and you’re a guy I’m going to AUTOMATICALLY “catch feelings” or “fall in love”, that’s not how things work! How about you learn to romance and talk to someone before you start assuming they are going to fall in love with you.  It was basically this jerks way of telling me I just want to fuck and he is too lazy to put forth ANY effort. What happened to getting to know someone or I don’t know MAYBE JUST MAYBE taking someone out on a date before trying to get them in bed. All I want is some romance in my life and for guys to understand that if you want a woman’s respect or you want us to give you the time of day learn to talk to us as human beings and not as a possession.

It really makes me wonder does romance still exists?

Cute vs. Not Cute

(Somewhat) Cute: If we’re officially boyfriend & girlfriend and have been dating for a while and I tell you I’m annoyed with you and you respond by saying, “I’m picking you up now.”– This is cute (or can be cute) because we have obviously reached a level of comfort within our relationship in which you can sense my annoyance and are aware that in order to redeem yourself you must now shower me with some affection.

NOT CUTE: If we have been on maybe 3 dates and I express my annoyance with you through text (already a red flag because I should not be annoyed with you since this is the beginning) and you respond by saying, “I’m picking you up now.” – This is NOT CUTE because you sound like a psycho. I have no plans to see you on this particular evening, in fact, I have already made plans with friends and no you’re not invited and no you can’t join.

This happened. This is a true story. This made me run for the hills. I tried to explain why I found this so alarming and instead of him understanding I was bombarded with text messages over the span of the following 5 – 7 days (most of which remain unanswered). The text messages ranged from annoyance to romance to then acting as if nothing had happened and we were still on good terms. This terrified me even more than the “I’m picking you up now” text.

I think some men have a very distorted view of what constitutes as romantic. Blame Nicholas Sparks or Pablo Neruda, but there is a fine line between romantic and coming off so intense it borders on psychotic. Please learn the difference or at minimum gauge the type of woman you are “wooing” and determine which level she prefers.

A Means to an End

I had been so fed up with the dating scene that I reached a point in which I was no longer looking for a boyfriend, but was simply looking for someone with whom I could have a good time. Once I found someone who met this minimal level of criteria, (we texted back and forth for a few weeks) all it took was one fun night out at a bar for me to go home with him. He dropped me off at my house the following morning and although I knew our paths would cross I was sure we would never hang out again nor would he even text me. Shockingly, I was wrong. Not only did this individual proceed to text me on a daily basis, but we hungout about 3 more times after that initial contact (all last minute run-ins, no official dates). I was certainly enjoying the attention, along with the other perks, but it wasn’t long before some emotional responses were triggered and the excitement of the entire ordeal faded fast.

There is nothing I despise more than a person that is all talk and no action. Talking is very important, but words mean nothing if your behavior and actions don’t support the claims. So to all the men out there trying to pursue women, consider this a public service announcement, DO NOT SAY THINGS THAT YOU DO NOT PLAN ON FULLY FOLLOWING THROUGH ON. For example, please do not tell me you plan on taking me out anywhere if you 1. Cannot formulate a specific plan or plan a date to save your life or 2. If your idea of taking me out involves you texting me at midnight to ask what I am doing and ask me to meet you at whatever bar you happen to be drinking at with your friends; Both are very very lame. 

One thing I can say about myself is I am always honest. Therefore, I had no problem expressing my frustrations and concerns with this individual on more than one occasion. Did that change things? Of course not, but you can only lead the horse to water.

Dating....

Dating in this day and age is the ABSOULTE WORST! There is no sense of romance anymore, no one wants to get attached to anyone. God forbid you start to show someone you care a little because the minute you do they just either disappear on you or act like a complete dick. Everyone is too focused on what the next best thing could be instead of focusing on what is right in front of them. It’s such a shame that this generation can’t seem to get it together when it comes to dating.

 I’ve come across several guys that are just too worried about living the “bachelor life” that they can’t even be bothered to show one ounce of respect to girls.  For example, if you invite me to come hang out with you the least you can do is give me some ATTENTION, but no that seems to be asking for too much from guys now a days. I am a very chill and relaxed person and don’t really ask for much, but when I make plans to hang out with someone and you truly make me feel like I’m just something you’re doing to waste time that’s where I draw the line, BOY BYE! If I take time out of my day to hang with you please just show me some respect.

 I am tired of having to play these bullshit games because I am a person who just loves LOVE and I tend to always want to give my all to someone. I want to be able to do that without having to worry about either texting too much or being “too available” if I like who you are I just want to spend time with you and don’t want to feel like I have to play all these games to get your attention.

 But seriously why does dating suck so much?
