I Swiped Right When I Should Have Just Left

I am a 24 year old girl, who is struggling in the scary world of dating. I like man-buns, bearded beauties, vodka, and a good laugh. The most important thing you should know about me is that I don’t hold back on any details in my life. I am more blunt than I should be but I think that makes me fun, don’t you think? 😉

Life, Humor, Sex & Dating

I want to share my dating woes and successes to my generation. I hope that my misfortunes make people laugh, cry, and have second hand embarrassment. My goals are just to help people in my generation who are going through the same dating nightmares as me. It’s okay to have bad dates before you meet “the one”. Why not share them and laugh?

FACTS ABOUT THE WRITER
How did you meet your best friend?
So I met my best friend on MySpace. Before online dating was cool, Myspace was the place to be. I was just starting my freshman year in high school and she added me. We just connected! I went to the first football game of the year and I saw her staring at me (what a creep). I knew she was too shy to come up to me – so I marched right up to her and said “Hey, you’re *insert my best friends name here*!” Ever since then, we have been best friends. She swears that if I didn’t go up to her, we probably wouldn’t have been best friends! And I agree with her, cause she’s shy AF.

What is something you’ve always wanted to try but have been too scared to?
I’ve always wanted to be one of those cool people that just drops everything to move somewhere. I’m the type of person who thinks of the consequences and doesn’t live in the moment. Well – except in my dating life. But when it comes to big life decisions, I tend to think of every negative aspect that would come with it. Sometimes I wish that I wasn’t so up tight and I could just go with the flow.

What age do you feel right now?
At this point in my life, I feel like I’m a mixture of a 16 year old and a 30 year old. Can that even happen? I say that because I think I know what I want but when I get what I want I don’t want it anymore (16 year old). But at the same time, I think everyone is super lame/immature and I’m sometimes in bed by 9pm (30 year old). Oh, and I kind of drink like a 16 year old – meaning that I can’t handle a lot of alcohol. I’ll puke. Yep, I’m that girl.
