The first step of communicating with someone on the online dating site I am using is to send multiple choice questions. With these multiple choice questions, you also have the option to write in your own answer.
I received questions over the weekend from someone who I was actually OK with responding to. For the question, “If I had a bad day, what is the first thing you would do for me?”, I decided to write in my own answer. I started to type “It is hard to pick just one thing…yada yada yada.” BUT, I typed just the word “It” and accidentally hit enter, which happened to send my responses to my match.
All that being said, he now thinks that when he has a bad day the first thing I would do for him is “it.” At first I was mortified, but now I think it is pretty freaking hilarious, especially since he requested to communicate via the online dating site’s secure email system.
In other online dating news, I was also matched someone I actually dated! I saw his name and the town where he lives and thought, no way. But…yes, way. Things didn’t end too well with us, but I guess we are still compatible! I think I will be closing that match ASAP.
Good lord, this whole online dating thing is sort of a disaster.
It feels like I have been gone for a month, not just a week, after that recap!
My friend Lenora after I filled her in on all of the things that have happened in my life in the last week (plus a few days).
It’s true. The last week or so has been felt like a whirlwind. My social calendar has been packed, I have met lots of new, super fun people, caught up with some old, amazing friends, remembered (for the millionth time) that guys are actually complicated and experienced the joys of being a homeowner.
It’s not really fun waiting for someone to respond to you. It’s like passing a note in class - Do you like me? Check yes or no.

I know that guys are completely clueless. It’s taken a while for me to come to that realization, because I kept trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, but they are, in fact, clueless.
So for my 1000th post (which is pretty exciting!), I ask…
If a guy shows interest in you, but doesn’t ask for your phone number, but rather asks to be your friend on Facebook, is that acceptable?
I think it is, because knowing that guys are clueless, he is probably just too dumb or too much of a wuss to ask for your phone number. And I hate to admit it, but you can find out a lot about a person on Facebook…which could be the go/no-go point on if a guy wants to asks for your phone number.
So, what do you think?

Going on three dates with someone and realizing you aren’t that into them is perfectly acceptable. I am not exactly sure what to do now…
And that is all I have to say about that.

Every night I go out, this is what I think. Total Dazed and Confused moment. Why am I always attracted to younger men?!

I ran to Kroger after work to pick up some random things I was out of. I only had a few items and didn’t feel like using Self Checkout (which I am normally a big fan of, but the line was too long) so I waited in the 15 Items or Less line.
While I stood there for about three minutes or so, I witnessed two separate guys - one in the line next to me and one who stood in line behind me - buying some beer.
Both guys looked to be normal, 30-somethings who obviously live in the area. I would have pegged them as Miller Lite or Bud Light guys, but no. The guy next to me had a 6-pack of Keystone Light. The guy behind me, a case of Natural Light.
A word of advice guys, women do judge you by the type of beer you drink. And Keystone and Natty Light just won’t cut it. Welcome to your thirties, this isn’t freshman year of college anymore.
