Really interesting article and research about “the science of flirting.”

“He asked two complete strangers to reveal to each other intimate details about their lives. This carried on for an hour and a half. The two strangers were then made to stare into each others eyes without talking for four minutes. Afterwards many of his couples confessed to feeling deeply attracted to their opposite number and two of his subjects even married afterwards.”

Say whaaaaa? That’s amazing! I wish someone would just throw me in a room and make a guy stare at me for four minutes, and he would fall in love and we would get married. Done and done! haha

After reading this article I’ve decided when I go on dates I need to remind myself to speak more slowly, make eye contact and just be more sensual I guess. I tend to speak fast and be really happy and excited when I’m on a first date because I want to come off as charming and fun but I’m wondering if guys don’t like that as much?

I’ve been a little down lately. And it’s for the obvious reason. Putting myself out there, dating and dating and still not being good enough for any guy to love . I ask myself every day what is wrong with me. For whatever reason I feel like guys just don’t take the time to get to know me. To know me is to love me haha I know that because I have a lot of friends who love me. So I know I’m capable of being loved. I ask myself if it’s because of the obvious reasons: I’m too fat, I’m not pretty enough, I party too much, I don’t love myself therefore no one can love me. Trust me…I’ve thought about all these things plus more.
I may never know why I’ve gone this long without a real boyfriend. I just hold onto the hope that I will one day find love and when I do all this depression and self doubt will have been worth it.
I’m literally exhausted from all of it. I wish I could walk around numb to it all, without a single person asking me about my dating life. Where I wouldn’t feel lame and weird that I’m single. I just want to be myself and hope that a guy will see me and just like me for me, and I won’t have to try so hard. I’m so tired of trying.
It’s a vicious cycle. Wanting to love yourself so someone will love you. But not being able to love yourself because no one will love you.
I’m exhausted. I don’t want to talk about it and this post isn’t for attention. It’s truly because the only thing that helps me feel better is to write about my feelings and not hide it from myself or the world. You can only shove those feelings aside and be strong for so long.
So where do I go from here? I guess I can tell myself to just focus on me. Do the things that make me happy. Become a better person. Surround myself with people that make me happy. And just pray every day that I will find love.

A boy texted me today…who I have not heard from in 12 days. And it’s really annoying because I deserve better than that…so I’m not going to write him back.

The Girls You Should Be Marrying

I was worried when I saw the title of this link. “Oh gosh…am I about to read this online article and realize that I’m not part of the ‘girls you should be marrying’ club??”
Lucky for me, I believe I do fall into these categories. Phew!! I just may get married one day! Yippeeee!
And I’m also happy to report I don’t fall into any of the categories of The Girls Who Are Never Getting Married

The 12 Types of Crushes Every Girl Will Have

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!”

What I’ve Learned From Online Dating

1) The guys ALWAYS look better in person than their profile pictures.

2) They take forever to text back. And it’s SO annoying. But they all do it. Grrr

3) 90% of guys who do online dating are 5’10 or shorter. And most of the cute ones are 5’9 or shorter.

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.
