The hazards of dating in 2019. One last thing please note that this blog is based on my experiences of dating as a heterosexual, cis-gender female.

As I think back on how this date went, there were NO signs of how this story ends. Every moment of that first date went spectacularly.
Dates two and three come up quickly, one being more spontaneous then the next.
As we walked around the ballpark, during date one, he said that he wanted to see me again and asked when I was free that coming week. Before we left the game, we made plans to see each other that following Tuesday, so just three days later. It made me feel special that someone was already looking forward to seeing me again, and our date gave me something to look forward to.

It was a scorcher outside the day of our first date, and of course our date was outside. So I sat in front of my for a solid half hour deciding what I wanted to wear…. I needed something cute, comfortable, cool AND most importantly something that would hide the inevitable sweat marks. I straightened my hair and put a bit more makeup on than normal – which really isn’t a lot as I am a mascara wearing girl only.
Alright, it was time to leave.
I was so excited as I got into my car and set the GPS (aka my phone) to a parking ramp near the arcade we were meeting at. The entire drive, all 15 minutes ..read more

Alright, where did I leave off. Right – I fell asleep around 1 am aftering talking to his man for hours via messaging.
After this first night of great conversation, we quickly got into a nice cadence of messaging back and forth. Similarly to statement I made yesterday, “I am an in bed and asleep by 10/10:30 pm kinda person, so when I stay up past midnight to talk to you – you better know it is something special”, if I message you during the work day – WOW YOU’RE A BIG DEAL. We messaged back and forth all day long and landed on the topic of our date, planned for the Saturday (it is Tuesday at t ..read more

Why did I decide to start a dating blog now? Great question, I am so glad you asked. Let me tell you a story, similar to the Lemony Snicket tales of a Series of Unfortunate events – this does not have a happy ending. Unless you like my blog, then I guess there is a bit of a happy ending.
Online dating is just how we do it these days. My mother tells me at least once or twice a week that “you (me) are not going to meet someone online, I (her) just know it”… Well, to be perfectly honest, I don’t how to not meet someone online. So I resort to Tinder, Bumble, Hinge and OKCupid.

If I am going to put my dating life out there who knows how many people to read it, you might as well have the full story on who I am.
Since this is all about dating and online dating is life right now, let’s level set here for a moment.
I have been on Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Match, eHarmony, Coffee Meets Bagel, and OKCupid. I have paid for dating services – Match and eHarmony. I have used the free shit – Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, CMB, and OKC. Out of all of these, I have had similar experiences.
Side Note: This is not a blog to compare platforms or to provide my opinion on which ones I like best ..read more
