A Silly Text-capade

Modern technology can make our lives much easier, and our mistakes impossible to erase. The following exchange happened after being out with a group of friends at a bar and flirting with a cute Australian guy all evening before leaving to go to work at the club.
Text to my girlfriend (or so I thought…):
“He […]

Good Teenagers, Take Off Your Clothes…

I wasn’t planning on anything, I swear it. We had been out drinking all night and I was being the dutiful wing man. If that meant we ended up back at my girlfriend’s crush’s house playing pool with his friend, so be it.
Jodie pulled me aside, “So….you two seem to be hitting it off….and […]

The Ex-Crush

There are certain people who make more of an impression on your mind than they ever do in your life.
It can almost be harder to get over a crush than an actual relationship. They never had the chance to disappoint you so you can cling to that perfect vision you had of him asking […]

The Apology

Let me just start by saying that it wasn’t forthcoming. The first communication I got the day after being asked along on someone else’s date was as noncommittal and oblivious as the previous evening’s actions. 
“Great to see you last night… ☺”
I almost had to laugh- what part of that experience had been anything remotely resembling […]

Kiss Her?! But I’M Irish!

The luck of the leprechauns was not with me yesterday. In fact, I’m wondering if ancestors of mine were actually gold thieves and I’m living out a curse based on their bad behavior.
The worst nights always start so well, letting you slip out of that heavy coat of defense into something more comfortable until […]

Just Don’t

Don’t get my hopes up. Don’t even let me get to know you because everything I learn just makes you more appealing.
Don’t agree with me - politically, morally, musically - and then treat us as if we have nothing in common. Don’t rattle off your story because it sounds a bit too much like […]

Crossed Off and Moving On

The dreading is almost always worse than the doing. I was so not looking forward to having a conversation with Connect Zero that I found myself in serious procrastination mode. When Saturday rolled around and I didn’t have a good excuse of something else to do, I sent a text saying exactly what I […]

In the Name of The Greater Dating Good

I decided to give Connect Zero a second chance, not because I thought he would win me over but because I have an empathetic streak that tends to stroll hand in hand with its pall the guilt complex. For all the times I’ve wished for a do-over with a guy I really like the […]

(cont.) Tales From the Dating Vault

Just realized I left some unfinished business on my story of dating a freshman, and since it’s one I use to remind myself of the confidence I’m able to muster when needed, I thought now would be a good time to continue:
After a surprisingly great first date with a younger guy, I was expecting a phone […]

About Me- Easily Influenced

I’ve recently become a full-blown Facebook user. I had a profile before, but had never uploaded a picture, filled out any information, and joined purely because a friend invited me to see some photos.
My inspiration for the change of heart? I was invited to Buddy’s birthday party- where I met the adorable Non-threatening Bouncer- through Facebook […]
