You Can’t Bullshit a Bullshitter
All right, guys, listen up. I’m reaching out to you from the standpoint of a 27-year old woman; a professional, independent, self-sufficient serial dater. I’ve had long relationships, short relationships, and one night stands; I’ve speed dated, online dated, been set up, and connected with beer goggle-infused dudes at bars at 2am. Simply put: I’ve experienced the gamut of dating to the point where I feel my words pull some weight. Most importantly? I’m L.A. born and raised. So don’t give me that crap that “dating in L.A. is so tough.” I hear the same complaints from my friends who live in New York. Dating is a wicked game that spans coast to coast.
Where we like to go on first dates...
About a year ago, one of my close guy friends (Artist with a hint of Fratastic) came to visit me in L.A. and told me how much he hates dating. He went on to tell me how he wanted to impress a girl, so he took her to a fancy dinner, that he couldn’t afford, and they ate beautiful a la carte meals by candlelight. Fancy dinners and candlelight sound like a sophisticated and romantic way to woo a girl, right? Wrong.
Why movies are the worst dates ever…
When you’re 15 and you like a girl, the easiest date to go on is to the movies. It’s fairly cheap, your parents can drop you off without knowing you’re meeting a girl, and your nervous hormones allow you to sit next to a cute blonde in the dark without actually having to talk to her.
