This bro wasn’t particularly bad, but he wasn’t good, either. Everything about him and the date can be summed up by the word “…meh.” As I was telling my friends about him, I kept using that word, and so it became his unofficial nickname! But let’s rewind. I matched with him on Hinge, mainly because […]
Read more "The Meh Bro :: Modern Times Beer"Ghosting. It’s the most popular activity of 2018. You meet up with someone for an evening. You form an emotional connection, maybe a physical connection, too. You get that dopamine hit. Everyone’s satisfied. Then, you never speak again. This is the new standard of dating. Everyone hates it, but everyone does it. That’s why I was […]
Read more "Mr. Peanutbutter (Part 2) :: Bula Kava House"Okay, this nickname is a stretch. He wasn’t scary. He was just really boring and skinny – like a scarecrow. But he was a bro. ScareBro. Get it? I always fall into patterns with dating. For a few weeks, I get optimistic and motivated and overcommit myself to numerous dates. Then, I get burnt out […]
Read more "The ScareBro :: Kainos Coffee"Real talk: I feel insecure about potentially dating another brown guy out of fear that people will think I have a fetish. One of my proudest accomplishments of my 20s is learning how not to give a fuck. In high school, I was so obsessed with how I was perceived by others. This followed me […]
Read more "Mr. Peanutbutter :: Broughton Beach"I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only woman who saw Black Panther and thought it was way better than 50 Shades of Grey and Magic Mike combined. Who can get turned on by boring strippers devoid of personality or a suit bro who wants to hurt women instead of protect them? T’challa aka the Black […]
Read more "Black Panther :: Shift Drinks"I’m baaaaaaack! It’s been awhile! Well, that’s because I was off galavanting around the globe. Yep, I took a 6 month solo trip around the world. But now I am back and ready for action (which I already got… from my ex aka The Bro Next Door… who then ghosted me… but hey, gotta keep […]
Read more "The Kickboxing Ken Doll :: TopGolf"You know how it feels when you’ve been searching for a good guy for so long… you’re convinced there simply aren’t any left? Then, exactly when you give up looking, you find out that one was hiding in plain sight? That’s the Bro-Worker. When I first saw him on Bumble, he seemed…. average. I’ll admit, […]
Read more "The Bro-Worker :: Good Coffee"During this round of dating, I am learning some important lessons. Lesson #1: Go on more daytime coffee dates. They’re less of a commitment than a weekend evening and there’s no pressure to drink. Lesson #2: Stop going on dates with people you aren’t attracted to. Seriously. It’s a waste of time. My most recent […]
Read more "The Native Nomad :: Groundwork Coffee"You guys would be so proud of me. I finally did it. I went on a sober date. I think I’ve started a trend. I am seeing more guys who are choosing not to drink. Maybe because I’ve shifted my age range to 26-33 instead of 22-26, but I don’t feel like such an outsider […]
Read more "Benjamin Button :: Townshend’s Tea"I lied. I said I was going to reinvent this blog as an experiment in sober dating… and it would have worked if he wasn’t so goddamn attractive. I had been on Bumble for a few weeks but no one really make me excited. I was looking for that perfect rebound combination of spontaneous, silly, […]
