The Single Train

So the hot guy fantasy ended up being just that, a fantasy.  For some reason because he looked like a Disney prince and seemed agreeable to try new things, I made Tarzan out to be Prince William (minus the balding).  Trust me when I say Tarzan I am referring to a caveman because this sexy man grunts.  I am not kidding!  Every time we would make out, he would back away, stare at me and then grunt with a deep, short sound of approval.  If that weren’t enough to make me want to leave the jungle, he would walk ahead of me constantly, pet my leg as if it were a dog when he was stressed and kiss me like I was a fish he needed to resuscitate.  Once again I made a big mistake.  The same mistake that every girl make whether they want to believe it or not.  What happens when we are so uncomfortable being alone in a world that seems virtually paired off, that we jump at the chance to have a companion? 

Well the answer is simple; we find the horse drawn carriage with the crash test dummy inside.  If not being alone is our main motivation for finding a partner, then we better prepare for a long, lonely journey ahead.  They say that love always happens when you least expect it.  So ladies stop not expecting it!  By saying you are not going to expect it and you are going to focus on you, you are just giving yourself permission to subconsciously expect something.  With that being said, here is the love in my tough love rant.  Don’t focus on yourself but a new project that makes you happy.  This way you are tricking your brain into thinking you are just creating a new past time when in reality you are finding yourself. 

With the end of summer approaching and relationship season beginning, be proud to be on the single train.  After all, you could reach an amazing destination when you least expect it.

Blast to the Past

So I have been bitten by a bug.  This tiny, almost invisible creature has turned me back into a giddy, overly talkative, nervous teen and I have a new crush. 

From the perspective of my 16-year-old self:

Trust me I am not lying when I say he is only the hottest guy in school.  Tall, creamy olive skin, bright green eyes, dimples that make you weak in the knees and a smile that would make even Elvis himself swoon.  Plus, he Is a foreign exchange student from Canada!!  I mean how hot is that!!  He even has an accent!!  If that wasn’t enough, the dreamboat asked me to the prom!  I am still waiting to wake up from this wonderful dream…the most gorgeous specimen I have ever laid eyes on skipped over the cheerleaders, the dance team and the cute overachievers to ask out the drama nerd.  OMG!

The funny thing is it is five years later and for some reason this one guy has made me feel like that frizzy haired, nerdy girl all over again.  I have found myself bringing him up in conversation by remembering some topic of interest we shared.  I mean I actually get butterflies with him.  Well as much as I secretly wish life would end up like a 80s chick flick, all I can do is wish for the best.  So Mr. Charming, please be nice and give the nerd a chance?

The Reality of a Dream

The typical sappy click flick always portrays a guy who is incredibly good looking but still modest and a girl who is sweet but passive in telling the hunk how she feels about him.  This however results in the guy suddenly realizing he is lost without the girl who has been there all along and right before she moves on with her life, he sweeps her ff her feet and they live happily ever after.  Now I used to dream about the day my best guy friend would realize that I was the right girl for him but after 8 years of having a romantic relationship in my blissful imagination, I realized that only the first part of the movie is true.  The chances are that you will not get the most popular guy in school or the guy that every girl is head over heels for.  What is true is that the more you stress over what is wrong with you, the more you will forget to stop and smell the roses.  So instead of zoning out in class to daydream about you and Freddy Prince Jr. in “She’s All That,” actually pay attention in class and look next to you at the friend that deserves your energy.  The second you figure out what and who is important…well let’s just say life has a way of surprising you when you least expect it ;)

Summer Lovin

So I have taken 2 months off from writing about my dating adventures and I have to say these have been an eventful 2 months.  I started dating one of my best friends, considered just having a sugar daddy, met a guy with horse teeth and found a gorgeous man who got me to say about like a canadian!  Every time I say I am going to not date and focus on myself I end up being sucked back in by a tall dark and handsome man whose kiss makes me weak in the knees.  So I am not making any plans....i am just going to lean on friends and see where life takes me.  After all isn't the journey half the fun of getting there?
