Attractive, sweet, genuine, caring, thoughtful, attentive, perceptive, communicative – The Alien is literally unlike any other guy I’ve dated. Its been two months, and there isn’t ANYTHING that has made me pause and think – hmmm this could be a flag, I’ll stick it in my back pocket for review later. Nothing. And that’s scary. […]
In March I paid for a month of Bumble Boost. I had used a free week trial and enjoyed being able to see who already swiped on me, and control the number of conversations I started at a time. It took out the randomness of swiping and I feel it gave me an edge. After […]
I joked that he had a five star uber rating. The next day I sent it to him via text. I was trying to be flirty, thinking maybe he would suggest another date. Instead of being playful and seemingly in on the joke, he was weirdly formal. Maybe that is just his style? What is […]
I’m out with my friend, in the Spaniard’s neighborhood. There was no communication after the last date. I took the chance and sent a quick message that we were trying a spot he recommended. His response was short and I didn’t push for more conversation. My friend and I continue our wine and dinner night, […]
The best way to get over someone is to get under someone new – that is the saying right? What if by moving from casual number one to casual number two, you realize how not casual number one was? What the FUCK. I had a second date with the Spaniard. Well, first real date if […]
Is it possible to be so emotionally damaged that you can’t recover? Triggered over and over and over that you just end up broken, instead of coming out the other side healed? I’ve lost my appetite. My jaw hurts from clenching. I’m listening to all the Taylor Swift. I’m not sleeping well. Shit. I’m seeing […]
I had options. 1. Cancel the baby sitter. 2. Make plans with friends 3. Make a date. Or 4. Take myself out. I needed the mental break from the kids. Two full days home with them and I was starting to lose my mind. I rallied. There was a part of me that wanted to […]
His OkCupid profile says he is seeing someone, and it’s not me. Saturday we go out for pizza, we wander around a book store chatting about books we’ve read, favorite authors, he suggests we start our own book club. The night before he asked if I was into board games, I replied that I was […]
A few dates in and he says he has OkCupid. Says it’s a much more detailed profile than the nothingness that is his Bumble about section. I told him he was lucky I swiped on him at all with no bio, only half teasing. We are at dinner, at a nice place – fancy. He’s […]
Shit. I’m going to be late. Shit! shitshitshit. I text him and let him know I’m going to be 10 minutes late. Its really 15 minutes, and honestly I didn’t plan for parking being such a disaster so I ended up 30 minutes late. Not a good start to the date. We matched on Bumble. […]
