Our 1st Date was very telling. It was about an hour-long dinner at The Juicy Crab... To begin with she’s a half hour late, walks in with her expensive (I’m lookin-old-as-fuc) Gucci glasses and im immediately unimpressed. I can’t imagine sex between us.

Friday Night Lites: A Single Girl's Night In

It's Friday night (the 13th, no less) at 11pm, and what am I doing? Sitting on my couch with my dog, watching TLC and feverishly searching Pinterest for health-conscious recipes and meal ideas. Did I mention that I'm single? (Duh.)

I feel like this start to the weekend is not uncommon for single girls everywhere. For one, everyone [read: all girls] uses Pinterest. Two, I have a full-time job that can be exhausting, so staying in on a Friday night isn't exactly unheard of. Three, lots of people have dogs, and four, TLC is awesome. But what I'm really referring to is the frantic need to eat healthier, and in turn, lose weight. 

I'm not overweight by any means, and most of my girlfriends aren't either. But I seem to constantly hear, "I'm so fat," or "I need to lose 10 pounds." Heck, I'm one of those girls who throw those phrases around like tennis balls. Unfortunately, girls everywhere are fighting this constant battle to be prettier and skinnier (thank you for this warped image - celebs, models and photoshop), but this is especially true for single girls.

As single women, we are on the market. On the prowl, if you will. We have to look our best at all times, because you never know when you will run into Mr. Right. And ironically enough, I always find that I run into that crush from the past or the hot neighbor when I look my absolute worst (dirty hair in a pony tail, sweatpants, no makeup - typical). So my absolute worst still needs to be good enough to catch his attention, right? This outlook means staying fit, eating healthy and living an active lifestyle is key in a single girl's life. But are we living this way for ourselves or for our potential mates?  

As much as I'd like to say I try to lose weight for myself (and in some ways, I do), it's more about the men for me. Maybe that sounds silly or desperate (of which I am neither), but it's true. If I had it my way, I'd eat pasta, cheese and chocolate all day. But, I have to catch a man. So diet and exercise, I will. Granted, my body does feel and look better when I stay active and eat right, but that's more of the added benefit for myself. 

But I want to hear from you - do you fight this same battle? Are you always trying to change the way you look for yourself or someone else?

Single in Atlanta: An Introduction

Before I introduce the "Single in Atlanta" blog, let me first tell you a little bit about me. I'm a 24-year-old woman in Atlanta with an already successful career, a mortgage and great family and friends. And at the risk of sounding vain, I'd consider myself an attractive female (and I've heard this from others many a time). Oh, and I'm currently, and seemingly forever, single. 

But I haven't always lived the single life. To make a long story short, I was a quiet child. In elementary and middle school you would've found me keeping to myself, thoroughly engaged in a book more suitable as a booster seat or doodling swirls and squiggles on a notebook. I had my first kiss at age 12 (an odd experience - it was under water in a swimming pool, go figure!) and my first make-out session at age 13. Those were both one-off experiences, though. I'm not sure how normal that's considered, but it was around that age that my dating life officially started.

In a strange twist of events, my parents got divorced, and my family moved to a new county where I would begin high school. It was then that I realized I had an opportunity to be the "new girl" - the girl that is mysterious, popular, and yes, all the boys want her. So I revamped my personality and became someone new. Throughout high school I made a variety of friends in a number of different social groups - I was a cheerleader, I hung out with some of the potheads, I had musician friends, athlete friends, I knew band geeks, and I was still a nerd at heart. My mass appeal had it's positives and negatives. On the plus side, I dated a lot - the hot seniors, varsity athletes, drama thespians, potheads, felons... the list goes on. None of my high school "relationships" were serious, though, and upon graduating high school I realized that I was never really "single" during my previous 4 years. So I cut all ties and moved off to college that summer as a single woman, ready to mingle. 

At the start of college, I figured out how to manage classes, homework, a social life, part-time work and greek life (yes, I joined a sorority) pretty quickly. And thanks to the nature of college, I was meeting a ton of new people and making a lot of new friends. My true single days only lasted a few months until one night when my girlfriends and I walked into a bar - as soon as I caught a glimpse of the bartender, I was instantly hooked and I knew I would not be single for much longer. Believe it or not, it was love at first sight, at least for me. 

For weeks I forced my friends to go with me back to that bar night after night in hopes that Bartender was working. Week one, I learned his name. Week two, I left my number for him. Week three, I left my number for him again and flirted extra hard. Week four, he finally acknowledged me - he knew my name, he wasn't working that night, and we danced the night away. That week, we also had our first kiss and our first actual date. 

That's when my brief stint as a hot, confident, single, college girl had come to a close. Over the next two years (and most of my college career), Bartender and I dated. And over those two years, I had fallen into a love so deep, one that I had never experienced before and one that I haven't experienced again to this day. Needless to say, that relationship ended and devastated me. After a heartbreak like I went through, being single had a totally different connotation. To me, it meant loneliness, pain, heartache and sadness. I'm sure many of you are familiar. 

So that brings me to "Single in Atlanta." It has been three years since my breakup with Bartender, and in that three years I've had an interesting single life. I've tried online dating - Match.com, PlentyOfFish.com, Tinder, Grouper, HowAboutWe, and more. I've met guys in bars and other public places and gone on dates with them. I've enjoyed being single at times and at others I haven't. This blog will serve as a medium for me to share my many dating experiences, dating tips and advice that I've personally learned, funny stories, horror stores, and more. The blog will hopefully make you think, make you feel, and help you understand things about the world from the single point of view. But most importantly, this blog serves to show you, fellow single guy or girl, that you are not alone. We are all in this together. 

Now that you've read my shortened life's story, continue with me on this journey of being single. Posts will be from a female's eyes, but guys, I'm sure you can relate to. And hopefully soon I will have single male contributing writers to portray their stories, experiences and thoughts, as well. So, if you're Single in Atlanta, stay tuned!
