My Last Online Date
Prologue I deleted ALL dating apps and profiles yesterday. I’m over it, and before I begin my tale of my last date from websites, let me explain why. First, I am tired of having conversations with people that I never end up meeting, it’s a waste of my time. Second, I am over going on … Continue reading My Last Online Date
My Rebuttal
Last weekend, the Austin American-Statesman posted this blog on Facebook about finding love in Austin: http://austin.blog.statesman.com/2017/02/14/single-women-are-likely-to-find-a-marriage-material-man-in-austin-but-single-guys-arent-as-lucky/ After reading it, I was left confused and irritated. This is my rebuttal I sent to them, challenging their views. Dear Katey Psencik and Austin American-Statesman, As a local blogger about the single life in Austin, Texas, I … Continue reading My Rebuttal
The Dating Game Part III
So, I may have chickened out of going to the Anti-Valentine’s Day happy hour, but I did have dates last week to make up for it! OK Cupid landed me my first two dates off the new site, back-to-back Thursday and Friday. This new site shows your “match rate” with the other person, and it … Continue reading The Dating Game Part III
It’s Not Me, It’s You
I am burnt out from the dating apps. Goodbye Tinder and Bumble, I'm breaking up with you. It's not me, it's you. These apps have left me still single, disappointed, and wondering why I joined them in the first place. Yes, it was entertaining swiping through profiles, but this fast-paced environment led to even more … Continue reading It’s Not Me, It’s You
My Break From Dating
After a little over 2 months straight of internet dating, I need a break! People are either completely misrepresenting themselves online or they are only looking for hookups. An average of 3 dates a week for 2 months takes its toll on you. So, on my break I decided to do some things for myself. … Continue reading My Break From Dating
The Dating Game (Part II)
Suddenly I have found myself turning into that person who can’t remember past conversations or specific details about another person; the person who used to annoy me by their “lack of interest”. Between dates, conversations, two different apps and mindless swiping, I can’t keep them all straight! My friends have even become confused, and one … Continue reading The Dating Game (Part II)
The Male Perspective
Have you ever wondered what happened with someone you were dating? Did it seem like the relationship was going well and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, the guy ended things? Have you thought about how you should or shouldn't act on a first date and what your realistic expectations should be? These … Continue reading The Male Perspective
The Dating Game (Part I)
I have decided to do something that I have never been able to do before: Date. I am loyal to a fault, and because of this I have never been able to date more than one person at a time. Obviously this hasn’t been working for me, so why not play the field? It's not … Continue reading The Dating Game (Part I)
Swipe Right or Left?
Match.com, eHarmony, Plenty of Fish, Tinder, and Bumble: different names, same profiles and stereotypes. While Match and eHarmony allow you to create an in-depth profile to express your interests and desires, the fast-paced, superficial apps like Tinder and Bumble are taking over.
