Let’s be honest dating in 2017 sucks. No one wants to
commit, everyone is afraid to seem “too clingy” and the games have gotten
harder and more technical. Online dating is the worst of the dating options. My
mom calls it “the candy store” and rightfully she should. If you are in the
mood for gummy bears one night you can have them or maybe some sour keys or a
bit of fudge or how about a rainbow coloured lollipop, bounty bar? OK I’ve made
my point.
Guys and girls have their pick and if one person is not willing
to give them what they’re craving then they just swipe right to the next one
until their urge is satisfied and they can stomach their lives and look at
themselves in the mirror for another week. I know this sounds harsh but it’s
the cold hard truth, finding a mate in the modern world of technology is next
to impossible.
I for one have had an insane amount of experience with
online dating. Now don’t jump to conclusions, I am no slut… but I have dated a
lot and I guess you could call me a serial dater. My friends can hardly keep up
and now I have had to label the guys as “the one with the kid” or “the cop” or
worse “the criminal” (we will get to that story later). I’ve been on dinner
dates, hook ups (sorry mom), movie dates, walk dates, coffee dates, drive
dates, skype dates, dates where we meet or dates where he picks me up or even
weirder where I pick him up. I’ve seen it all and I guess the only positive is
I now know exactly what I want and I’m able to pin point the type of guy I’m
sitting across from, or next to, or under (sorry again mom) *awkward laugh.
So this blog is to expose the different types of guys out
there that I experience. Some stories are hilarious and some are just downright
sad and some will make you want to yell “DON’T BE SUCH A DICK TO GIRLS!” to the
next guy you see on the train. Just don’t yell it at church or worse at a
wedding. Maybe I should put a disclaimer up: before you continue reading this
it, will make you very very mad at the male human race and possibly make you
consider becoming a shut in.
I am, however, a
forever hopeful (some of you who know me may be laughing right now) but in the
dating world and when it comes to love I’m forever hopeful I will find the
right guy and be one of those disgusting couples you see out at Quiznos
ordering a sub to share and making out in front of the pop fridge. I have legit
seen this and I have legit said “Ew” out loud for them to hear … They kept
going…
