Stories from the seedy underbelly of the dating world
I was dating this guy. He was active, super in shape and barely my height. Not typically my normal “type” by any means. But he was there, I was lonely and he seemed to care about me. Apparently not in the way I needed him to. He had just gotten back from a week abroad for work, … Continue reading
There’s a cliche somewhere that says something like “you’re learning every day of your life.” Well, I’m not too sure about every day, but there are certainly some occasions where something will happen and I’ll think “yep, I sure did learn something here.” For example, I discovered the other day that applying dry shampoo before … Continue reading

Those who are bored are typically boring. I’ve heard my sister mumble that to my nieces for the past six years. Up until now I was on her side – then I met the fire fighter. Not only did I feel bored around him, but his boring manner literally extended to whichever restaurant we were … Continue reading
