Why Dating is SO Difficult

I literally just spent 5 mninutes trying to decide what to text the guy I just went on a date with. He wrote me: “I had a good time tonight.” and I seriously could not decide if I should say “Me too.” “Me too! :)” “Me too!” or “So did I.” I don’t want to sound too into him and too eager so maybe I shouldnt use an explanation mark. I already sent him a smiley face in a previous text so if I send another one, would it seem like I’m the overly happy girl sending smiley faces at everything?? Or should I say more than just “Me too.” Like maybe a “So did I. Thanks again for the drinks. Can’t wait to see you again.” ?!?!

Every text or decision you make when dating a guy has to be perfectly calculated. One slip up and he will be freaked out or lose interest at a drop of the hat. You don’t want the guy to think you are too into him because everyone likes the chase. And if he knows you’re into him, it’ll cause him to lose interest and therefore…he won’t be into you as much as you are into him. It. Is. Exhausting.

I decided to go with “Me too!”

In case my readers were wondering….  I have taken a break from dating for awhile. It’s not that I’m not open to it but I’m not actively searching. I took a pause from online dating and any guys from my past that were trying to hang out I just started ignoring and cut them all out.

I wanted a fresh start and I wanted to focus on myself for awhile.

Sorry for not posting more fun personal stories regarding my dating life but it’s because it’s sort of non-existent right now.

Every year when fall rolls around everyone gets super excited about the Pumpkin Spice Latte Starbucks brings out. I mean…it defines fall, right?? Who wouldn’t love a warm pumpkin flavored coffee drink as the leaves change colors??

Well turns out…I don’t love it. I had one this morning…thinking I would love it and it’s actually quite gross. Way too sweet and way too pumpkin-y. There’s definitely a lot of hype around a drink that does not deliver to a pro-coffee drinker.

Happy 4th of July to my wonderful blog readers!!!! (Probably all 5 of you! haha jk)

Hope you are enjoying the holiday with loved ones, bbq-ing and watching the fireworks!

I am currently in Newport Beach CA and if all is going as planned I am drinking red white and blue vodka infused slushies, at a bar on the beach, laughing and flirting with the bros! Now blast this song as loud as you can and tell me it doesn’t put you in a good mood?

Dear Diary,

Today is day 10 of my HCG/800 calories a day diet. On this diet you’re supposed to lose a pound a day. So I should be 10 pounds down today and swinging from the rafters with happiness. Unfortunately I am only down 6.5 pounds. The last time I lost a pound was when I weighed myself Tuesday morning. It’s frustrating when you feel like you’re barely eating anything and you aren’t dropping the weight every day.

BUT, though I’m frustrated by it, I can’t even begin to tell you how happy I am that I’ve almost lost 7 pounds!!! I mean…that’s a pretty big deal. I’ll take it! I can already feel my pants getting loose and my tummy getting flatter. So it is inspiring.

I really don’t want to gain those 6.5 pounds back so I’m excited to continue to eat only healthy foods and also work out more. I’m determined! Here I go! Update soon 🙂

As some of you may or may not know, I am on the free dating app called Tinder.

I’ve been on one date from this app and I am talking to another boy from it still who lives in San Diego. It’s been over a month now, we’ve never met, but we’re still in contact. I swear we’ll meet one day…

But this story is not about date #1 or San Diego boy. This blog is about some fool named Nicolas. We began chatting on Tinder two days ago and yesterday afternoon he asked me if I’d be interested in going wine tasting with him next week. I agreed and we had a date planned for next Tuesday.

Side note- as some of you also may know, I have been on this hard core diet for the past week in a half. No drinking AT ALL. But luckily the date was set for next week and next week is when I planned on going back to real life.

Anywhoo- last night I got this text from him- (see pic above)

I didn’t want to tell the guy that I’m doing this crazy 2 week diet and can’t see him until next week, so I went with the 3 day cleanse. I mean, it’s LA. EVERYONE is doing 3 day cleanses these days. Well apparently my 3-day cleanse story freaked him the f*ck out because he never wrote me back! It’s been like 14 hours. Sooooo that’s fun. hahaha

Who knew a 3 day cleanse could be so offensive? I dont know why I just didn’t tell him I had plans Thursday night like a normal person. Gah!

UPDATE** This guy actually did end up texting me later this day. He told me he didn’t think I was weird for doing a cleanse and apologized for the delayed response. We actually went on a date last night. And though it was a good date…he’s honestly not my type. And I have no interest in following up for a second date.

Diet Friday

So I’ve officially discovered how I gained 15lbs since I moved to Los Angeles 5 years ago. Yes…I know..most people move to LA and lose weight…I did the opposite.

I’m only on day 4 of my 800 calories a day HCG drops diet but I can see clearly now how I would eat EVERYTHING and ANYTHING without even second guessing. Also I work in an office. And anyone who works in an office knows there is always some kind of bad food swarming around the kitchen calling your name. Just today alone, my office ordered pizza for everyone and then around 3 o’clock we had a brownies and ice cream party. I can’t even tell you how weird it felt to not partake in any of it! Because I am never THAT girl. I eat it all and sometimes even go for seconds. So of course now that I’m avoiding basically everything but protein and veggies, I realize how often I would just eat it all! lol

It’s mind boggling I tell you!! It definitely shows me that I need to have more self control in the future and start making healthier choices.

Single Girl Story #12

There comes a time in every gal’s life where she is faced with seeing an ex at a bar… with his new girlfriend.

It’s not a moment anyone wishes to go through but sometimes it just happens and you have to face it. So what does one do when such a moment occurs?? Asks her good looking single guy friend to pretend to be her boyfriend, duh!!

I don’t know why in the moment I thought it was a good idea. I just didn’t  want to walk by him and be like “oh hiiii. Here you are with your new girlfriend. That’s cool. I’m here alone, still single.”
It took some persuading to get my guy friend to agree to be my boyfriend. He wanted to do a walk by with just his arm around me and I said “No!! We have to be holding hands! That is official bf gf status.” He replied with “I hate holding hands. I never hold my girlfriend’s hand.” and I said “Well maybe that’s why you’re still single.” Luckily after seeing my distress, he agreed to do a walk by and hold my hand. So off we went…hand in hand… oh so casually to walk by my ex. The first time around, we looked straight ahead and didn’t even look his way. We stopped at the other end of the bar, giggled about it, then waited a few minutes before we walked back.

As we walked back again hand in hand this time the ex and I made eye contact. And I greeted him with a smile and said hello. And I think he gave me a hug? I don’t know, I was so nervous I blacked out. Then he introduced me to his girlfriend and I smiled and shook her hand, Then he introduced himself to my “boyfriend” and they shook hands. And that was it. My pretend boyfriend and I walked way together. Mission accomplished!!!!

Just another day in the tortuous life of a single girl. *sigh*
