I debated with myself this afternoon if I wanted to walk over to Coffee Bean or not. This is a daily debate I have almost every day. To spend the $4, or to not spend the $4?…that is the question.

I said eff it and I walked over. I was glad I did because it’s a BEAUTIFUL day out in Beverly Hills right now. The sun is shining, clear skys…but its not too hot. Just perfect.

As I was walking back with my iced cappuccino in hand, I noticed a service truck creep up next to me. I looked over and there was some guy driving smiling at me. He said “Hi! How are you?” and I smiled back (because I am a nice person) “Hello! How are you?” Then he proceeds to ask me if he can talk to me for a second. In which I reply “Sorry I have to get back to work.” Then he keeps talking but sure enough there is a lawn mower guy blowing leaves around next to me so I cant hear a word this guy is saying. I probably asked “what?” 7 times before I finally heard him.

“Would you like to go on a lunch date with me sometime?” -asked this guy, wearing an orange jump suit, driving a Beverly Hills service truck.
Always trying to be on my toes I quickly replied “Oh um… I have a boyfriend. So that probably wouldnt go over well.”
He said “You do??? Oh man.” and drove off.

Props to this guy for asking a random girl walking down the street if she would like to go to lunch sometime. I hang out with guys in far more appropriate situations who never get the balls to ask me out.

Oh boy…. tomorrow is the day I go to Scottsdale Arizona for the first time ever! I have NO idea what to expect. I’m flying solo from LA to AZ then meeting up with my friend there. I’m assuming we will then be picked up by her boy…head to his house…drop our stuff off then head out on the town! Can’t wait to see what this city is like!

Agenda for tomorrow:
7:00 wake up, get ready for work, finish packing
8:30 arrive at work early. work work work
12:30 Head to the apple star to pick up my new Iphone4s!! Yippeee!
5:00 leave work and race home
5:30 drive to the airport
6:55 take off to az!
8:20 arrive in az!

Let’s hope everything goes smoothly. Fingers crossed for a fun weekend!!!

P.S. I don’t know if I’ll end up seeing MY boy. I’m sure I will… which makes me very nervous because we haven’t spoken in 2 or 3 months? Stupid. I’m nervous. The end. 🙂

Single Girl Story #10

I joined one of those free dating websites. I felt I really needed to start putting myself out there, even if it’s at a pathetic attempt at online dating. I’ve met so far about 3 guys with potential. And by met I mean we’ve sent messages back and forth online. I have yet to meet any of them face to face. One guy tried to pretend he was spontaneous and could just message me any time of the day when he wanted to meet for coffee. Well I am not spontaneous, ESPECIALLY when it comes to dating.  I need to know the date time and place of a date at least a week before. This is due to the fact of how much I hate going on dates and I feel a week fully prepares me to go through with it.

I was super into this website for about 2 weeks? Then life got busy and I couldnt keep up with the messages and the “so and so is checking you out right now!” I just logged in after about a week and a half of avoiding it and here were just a handful of messages I received:

“I read your profile and noticed something that I can’t say about many girls on this website, you actually have a personality. Strike that and I’ll take it one step further, you actually have a pulse.”

“A couple questions for you:
1. If you were a cat, what would your cat name be?
2. In your opinion, which type of cookie is the most delicious of all cookies?”

“…By the way regarding laughter I firmly concur, humor is essential, now this is just my theory but I’ve always believed laughter is the secret key too life. Hear me out, life in itself can be fairly dull at times, essentially black and white but its laughter which brings that necessary bit of color too the forefront. E.G – Laughter would be the peprika on already delicious deviled egg!!! lol Hope you enjoyed my colorful analogy!! I must admit I’m quite the colorful character, but in all honesty im just a silly , goofy , fun loving , kind hearted lad!! :)”

Isn’t online dating fun?????

I definitely was told multiple (if not all) of these things when I was single [aka most of my life]. Found this kind of interesting/humorous.

Seriously…if a guy is going to hold my hand…he is just asking for me to fall for him. Nothing is cuter to me than that.

thankyouforsayingthat:

lizzieisabitch:

Holding hands might just be the cutest thing ever. It’s such an intimate gesture, yet innocent at the same time. When you feel their hand touching the palm of yours it’s like the entire world is at your fingertips at that moment. And even better, the first time two people ever hold hands, is precious. When the person nudges at your hand and eventually slides their fingers interlocking with yours and you feel your cheeks getting warm, turning a shade of rosy pink and your heart pounding like drums. When they grasp on so tight like it would be impossible to let you go. How their hand just seems to fit right into yours as if it was meant to be that way. So beautiful and satisfying with a rush of different emotions. And just with the knowledge that your hands are linked together makes your hearts even fonder and you can literally feel how close you are to each other.

lol just make me hate my life even more 😥

Life In Your 20s

Life in your 20s is not easy. It’s that time in your life when you are supposed to be living like an adult but you still find yourself living like a teenager. You’re either straight out of college trying to find the right career path for yourself, or you’re working at a job that’s just okay but not where you saw yourself headed as you tossed your cap in the air at your high school graduation. Maybe you don’t even have a job. Maybe you’re still living with your parents, or living on your friend’s couch. No matter where you are in life…if you’re in your 20s… it’s not smooth sailing quite yet.

Being in your 20s is about going out with your group of friends and having to split the bill 5 ways, with 5 different visa debit cards, because hey, you’re 20 something. No one is financially stable yet where they could pick up the tab for everyone and not panic about paying your rent the next week. Being in your 20s is about buying a handle of vodka and pre-drinking as much as possible on a Friday night so when you do actually head out to the bars, you won’t have to spend as much money to get drunk. Being in your 20s is about still picturing your dream life and not settling on the idea of not achieving it. You aren’t 30 something. That dream job, dream house, dream boyfriend/girlfriend is STILL possible! No need to panic right? We’ll panic when we’re 30.

If you are a 20 something girl or guy, life can look pretty shitty at times. You can feel alone, you can feel lost, you can feel like you arent where you are supposed to be in life. And you’re filled with worry that everyone else around you is going to pass on by and achieve stability and you never will.

But dont worry! You are not alone. There are a million of us out there, struggling and discouraged. But every day we grow, we mature, we learn more about ourselves, and in the meantime we manage to have a damn good time. The crazy, fun, unstable moments we have in our 20s are some of the best memories we’ll ever have. And though we might not realize it now, every action we take is leading us on the path to an even better future.  Promise.

Things To Remember When You’re Single « Thought Catalog

I realized today…

that when it comes to dreaming about my future husband or dreaming about my career, I spend 75% of the time picturing and dreaming about my career.  And I’m not just saying that because I’ve been single for so long and I want to feel better about myself.

It’s true. I would love nothing more than to be in love, starting a family, and settling down, but I realized today, that I subconsciously think more about my future and what I see myself doing as a career than about a husband and family.

I haven’t figured it out yet (obvi) but I have not given up and I have not stopped dreaming. Success is the only option.
