Big Sur.
Watch out for this one ladies. He’s got a girlfriend.. but you wouldn’t know it from talking/flirting with him. And yes.. lots. and lots. of flirting.
So I meet him last week, a year below me in the program, because he’s tagging along with some of my friends with which he lives near. He’s hot, kinda tall, bearded (yes), edgy.. and on the weird side. All the things I...

Goodbye to the Writer.
And now that I dated him for about 3 months or so.. I know that he isn’t actually a writer. A wannabe journalist who is currently a shitty web editor for magazines that no one really even reads. His field is dying, and he’s not even doing a good job in the transition from print to online. But also, he knows this. This being a reason why he can’t “be the boyfriend I...

Whatevs. I’m also in the zone with this study session, so that’ll be an update in the future. But fellas, watch out. I’m not so much looking to date right now, as get back to my maneating ways.

Don't be this girl.
Drunk, crying. in public. during Mardi Gras. The worse part.. as if it could get any worse.. is this is the 2nd year she’s done this.
Being in love with your best guy friend sucks. I know the feeling.. although I have much more self respect to get all upset for the fact that we’re not currently dating (although, I do have something in the works for that.. shady lady). I also am not...

thank God.
for my naturally wavy hair and glasses study get up. B/c one of the random fuckers I went on a date with (so boring it’s not even worth mentioning.. except for the fact that he happens to be in the class above me..) just walked into the study lounge and is sitting directly in front of me.

Don't change your daily routine.
Modify it. They’ll step in line. and if they won’t.. it’s onto the next.
I’m a busy girl, y’all. and dating, as much fun as it is.. takes up time. But I still need to study/sleep/hang with friends/run/yoga.. etc. etc. And I’d like to be a wifey one day, so fitting in a man somewhere is on my list of to dos.
The Writer is a perfect modifier to my daily...

Get your body right for dating.
And life. Listen. I’m going to say what everyone else knows/is thinking. It’s not okay to be fat. It’s unhealthy, it’s disgusting, and it makes you look like a pig.
Now before everyone gets all crazy on me.. let’s be clear. I’m not talking about being stick thin, because lord knows I will never again be a size 2. And haven’t been since probably I was...

Play The Game. In texts.
One of the most important tools of dating these days is definitely texting. It’s exciting, stressful, and most importantly.. we use it for playing THE game in dating.
But some of the things, that are definitely easier said than done.. even for me, I’ve picked up along the way. I’m going to use my girl S as an example of what you need to remember when you’re jumping back...

The troubles of dating in a "small" city..
There is no escape. You run into people everywhere. Especially at the times when you are in a funk, your least friendliest, or right after a hot yoga class where you’re ridiculously sweaty and you decide to “pop over to Whole Foods” for a quick second. Never. ever. again.
New Orleans is a city where even if you don’t know the person, chances are you know someone in...

Official.
I have settled down. a little bit. I have a boyfriend. The writer. The way he asked me to “go steady” was really cute.. like he’s a really good guy. Which I do like.
It was his birthday (also Halloween) and he was out drinking with his friends.. I was out drinking with my friends (and running amuck in NOLA since Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.. and P and I had been...

First things first.
Life has been a little hectic lately. and I hate not having time to sit down and write to y’all. Fam, school, and my life down in the deep south has taken over for a bit.. and now I finally have time to breathe. So I’ma queue up some posts I’ve been working on here and there.. and gonna get back to it. And if I go missing again, it’s most likely for the same reasons.

Online Dating 102. The First Date.
I have been on a lot. and I mean a LOT of first dates. A lot of them aren’t even worth mentioning on here, because they all generally fall into the same category. Uninteresting. Not even interesting in a weird intriguing or even funny.. or even creepy way. Just, nothing. Number deleted.
So I’ve come up for some rules for myself that help me along.. and figs y’all might...

Online Dating. 101.
The basics, y’all.
So I’ve been at it on here for a while, and literally done a lot of different sites. Each city is different, but the generalities are the same.
Met my first bf on craigslist (oh, I know. shady shit. but it worked out.. but that was years ago..), and will never go back to that method. I only recommend for browsing missed connections (for fun), and the...

The Original Rebound.
This is obviously a throwback.. but one “relationship” (or something) that taught me a lot of the game.
Just after I found out my HS bf cheated on my (oh, after 5 years) and before we got back together (yeah, I was a dummy back in those days), I was on a mission to keep my mind off him. My friends were amazing, no surprise, so I had ample distractions from real life.
One of my older...

Fucking on the regs.
A fine line in general between actually dating, and well.. fucking on the regular (FOTR). I guess the main reasons why I decided to start actually going on dates were:
1. I’m a poor grad student, and a free meal’s a free meal. And if you also want to buy me groceries.. from whole foods, I’m not going to stop you.
2. Less messy, less drama, then the FOTR “dating”...

When grown men, act like teenage girls.
I don’t have time or energy for this behavior. Every girl gets one time to act batshit crazy, and it usually happens with their high school boyfriend. Drama, screaming, tears. And never. again. Ever. You had your chance girl. And if you’re 25, and you never got one, you lost your chance. Keep calm, always.
Now, I had my crazy time. With my high school boyfriend/first love, and...

The Writer.
This is the first date that I’ve been on that reminds me a lot of who Jay* (the ex) is.. different, clearly, but a lot of the same qualities that I loved about him.
And I still love him. and probably always will. Just like some of my teenage heart will always have a piece of my first love Landon. You never forget your true loves. and these two were mine.

Speed dating.
Listen, y’all. I don’t have the energy or time to sit in a bad date. I don’t think anyone does, even if the entirety of your day is spent by the pool sipping cocktails (which, right now, sounds pretty damn good).. So. When I know that this date isn’t going anywhere, I’ma nip it in the bud, and give you a hug (I’m a nice southern lady after all) and thank you...

Platonic. Straight. Guy Friends. The Ultimate...
Honestly. I don’t believe they exist. I have YET to have a guy friend who I am not related to (or is not related to one of my best friends), who has not slept with one of my friends, who is also straight, and it has always been 100% platonic. Not once.
If someone has proof of this, I’d love to know how it works. Because, I don’t believe it. Unless they’re some sort of...

It's the little things.
You know what I really love? When you make out with a guy, and his first instinct isn’t to finger bang you.

The "Entrepreneur".
And yes, the quotations were absolutely intentional.
We met online. And were serious and “official” and all of that nonsense for a good few months. He met the friends, we went on trips together.. and we each met each other’s respective families. His mom loved me, but that was a given. I even laughed at his dad’s cheesy jokes, which I found endearing.
But even though...

4 am couch musings.
I hate a sleep over. I barely sleep well with my giant dog moving around every once in a while through the night.. but I especially don’t sleep well with some giant, breathing, cold feet having, man forcing me into some form of little spoon.
I’m always big spoon with my dog. and unless you’re my boo.. I will keep it that way.

Guys love a mean girl. [or, don't mess with me...
PhreakPhish: Hey! How's it going? Just seeing if you want to hang out ;) I'm from Metairie as well.
Me: I'm not from Metarie, nor am I IN Charleston. And if I was, I'd pass. [notes: he says he is currently in the Charleston area]
PP: Im not IN Charleston. So if your not from metairie , you must still be from the new orleans area? Just curious, but why would you pass?
Me: I'm from SC. There are a lot of transplants in NOLA. Lose the soul patch. Girls hate it. Also. Your profile reveals nothing about your personality.. so.. [Just trying to be helpful, clearly.]
PP: Im not a transplant. I was born and raised in NOLA, lived in Charleston a few months ago and had my profile as living in SC and yes your right, need to update it. So your saying if i lost the soul patch id have a chance?
Me: Sorry, no. I appreciate proper punctuation and someone more cultured. Best of luck.
PP: I was typing on my phone. I have a Bachelors' of Science and a Master's of Science ; probably make more money then you will ever make.... not sure where you will find someone more mature...but whatever...and I am lost on the someone more cultured. I guarantee I have traveled to more countries and seen more cultures then you will ever imagine. [now I've made him maddd. and I love the fact that he thinks this is the most mature response to any of this..]
Me: Well alright. You got me there. More money than I will ever make? I'm in grad* school, dummy. I'm on my phone also, but still find the time to use an appropriate apostrophe. But regardless, clearly you took this too personally. Your profile reveals nothing of how "cultured" you claim to be.
And being well traveled doesn't necessarily mean you're well cultured. Sorry. [and I hate to pull the grad school card and sound like an asshole, but be a dick to me, and I'll hand it right back.]
PP: I'm 29 and make $180,000 right now...so were probably in the same category once you graduate ; but clearly I am not a dummy if I make that much. I didn't take it too personal...but when your so picky on punctuation, I think you should look past that. Being born and raised in NOLA I am pretty cultured..trust me.....I am not going to put my life story on there for everyone to see ; so that is why I don't put on my profile how cultured I am ; again... something you should not look so hard into because there is a reason for everything.
[and the fact that he is claiming his culture comes from being FROM NOLA.. well he is mistaken. This city is full of hopefuls and townies. And yes, there's culture, and it has it's charm, but people like this kill me.]

Squirrel Soup?
I wish I was joking.
Haven’t seen the introvert in a while, so I figured I’d see him for dinner, and catch up (or at the very least get a free meal).. I know it’s wrong, but I’m poor and I don’t feel like buying a new vacuum cleaner yet (and I’m borrowing his at the moment).
It was post-exam evening, and my brain was fried.. usually I’m the talker in our...

Nice Guy Syndrome.
Great on paper, and usually bad in bed. It happened to Charlotte on SATC, and it happens in real life. all the time. Especially with the Introvert.
Such a nice guy. Builds things, loves dogs, owns his own (nice) car, owns his own (really nice) house. With great hardwood floors. And adult furniture. That he hired an interior designer to put together. Like, y’all. He’s good. And...
