All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.
Tinder Date Gone Wrong...
*names have been changed in this story* Summer 2014. A couple weeks ago my boyfriend/best friend had broken my heart, telling me he had decided to join the Army and he didn't want me to wait for him. It was one of the hardest breakups I had gone through, especially for the fact I could see myself marrying him.

Red Flag Date
Have you ever been encouraged to go on a blind date? Maybe you were merely pressured to join an online dating site, because you friends felt as though you were alone on the weekends while your children were spending their weekends with their father.

My Most Embarrassing Date
We've all done it. Went on a date with someone who we met online or even a blind date, and then once it finally happens, you're regretting every second of it. This happened to me not too long ago. I met a decent looking guy online, who was capable of having a respectful conversation with me (which is hard to come by these days with no forward questions or pervy comments). So we decided to meet up at a pizza shop.

What Could Go Wrong? #MyWorstDate
What really constitutes a bad date? Is it the person you go with? Is it the choice of where you go/what you do? Is it a combination of the two? I'd lean towards the latter myself. In today's world, with the rise of Tinder and online dating, it's never been easier to connect with people and get a sense of who they are before meeting for that nerve-shredding first date.

My Worst Date Ever
I’ve pretty much been swiping on Tinder for a whole year until I met my cute dumpling that I have right now. Unfortunately, I met a few bad eggs along the way, and I regret them so. The worst date I’ve ever had consisted of me meeting this Korean guy that I'd been talking to online. His name was Min, and he was rashly handsome and sweet, based on his profile and our conversations. He ended up asking me out, and I agreed to go driving with him and have dinner. Well, these are not the events that occurred that night. First of all, when he arrived, I opened the door to find him way shorter than he said he was, but I’m no newbie to online dating so I always suspect it. Anyways, we greeted each other awkwardly, like any first online meet-up, but then things changed. I was getting ready to walk out the door and this dude just goes in my room and gets comfy. My first immediate thought is, “WTF, I wanted food,” because I hadn’t eaten yet. Second thought was, “why TF is he in my room?” but I’m no idiot. Eventually, I walk in the room and see him watching Rick and Morty, I had left it on when I was waiting for him; this was not a part of my plan. I was honestly a little irritated because this dude starts talking about Rick and Morty and laying on my floor like he’s not going anywhere. Soon enough, I gave up and just told myself that I’d eat when he leaves, because he started to talk to me vigorously with very bad breath and I wasn’t having that. So he’s laying on the floor and I just go to lay on my bed—I have a Korean-style futon that sits on the floor—but then he gets up! He gets up and lays next to me in my bed, and I’m just like, “ew, no,” and I kinda move, but he moves closer. I then realized what he wanted and I honestly wasn’t into it because he just had really bad breath and began to be really clingy. He already lied about his height, didn’t take me out to eat, and to make things worse, he wore hiking boots with joggers when he came over. As I’m growing more and more irritated, this little man decides to make a jump on me and he starts taking off his pants and I’m just frozen like a statue because in a flash, all I saw was a pubic bush the size of a volleyball. With his giant bush, you couldn’t even see his penis, and I was trying so hard not to laugh because I’m not the type of girl to make fun of a guy, but then he said it.

I've Had It: No More Sex Before Marriage!
No sex before marriage! As a feminist this statement would have driven me insane a couple of months ago. I'm in my late twenties (just to avoid saying that I'm actually into my early thirties), I'm smart, I'm fun, I'm driven, I'm independent, I have some money saved up, and I'm usually pretty laid-back. Also—because otherwise none of this is relevant in our society—I'm quite charming and pretty.

Denial
If someone says they love you, why is it so hard for them to be with you?? They move on without any doubt, you feel the hurt so deep. This is the person you wanted to spend the rest of your life with, and he/she was the first person you felt actual love with? You dodged every person for them, because you figured that they deserved all of you, now that you think back it was hard for that person to come directly to you. You began to try to piece together puzzle to figure out went wrong, soon enough you conclude that it was your fault, and that everything you have every done didn’t make them stay. You wonder if you weren’t beautiful enough or even handsome enough for that person.
