And so it goes...

This whole dating thing is truly for the birds. Why can't people just be up front and honest anymore? Is it really that difficult? I personally don't think so but the majority of people I meet out there seem to think it is. Maybe my expectations are just a bit too high. I think Boo Radley had the right idea. Its probably best to stay in side and carve figurines out of bars of soap. Life would be way less complicated that way.

Dating Tip #1

I know that when I go out on a date I always brush my teeth before I leave the house. Why? Well for starters I like to take care of my teeth. That coupled with the fact that there's nothing worse then talking to someone who has bad breath. I know everyone has experienced this before. I was fortunate enough to actually experience this on a date. Yay me!

I met G.B. (I'll be nice enough to not disclose his name) on CL (Craigslist) for you folks out there living under a rock. He responded to a post I had put up on there. He seemed cute from his pictures and we had great conversations over the phone. When we finally met in person I didn't want to run away, but the minute he started talking I seriously wished I had packed my gas mask in my purse. I'm not sure what he had eaten before meeting me but his mouth smelled like wet trash! As he edged closer to my side of the table I tried to conjure up some sort of excuse to run out of there but couldn't think of one for the life of me. Grrr! G.B. then decided that we should go for a walk which was good, at least this way with a little air between us I wouldn't have to smell his breath so much. I took this opportunity to bring out my pack of gum which I so kindly offered him some. He passed saying that he 'was fine'. Hmm....ok. Are you serious?

I'm going to spare you the details on how he tried to kiss me because I feel a touch of nausea coming on.

Moral of the story is - BRUSH YOUR TEETH. Would you want to kiss the bottom of a trash can? No I don't think so. Unless you have some wierd sort of fetish for those type of things. At the very least pack some gum or mints. Trust me. Your next date could depend on it.

This blog?

What is this blog you ask? Well that is simple to answer. I'm going to write about my trials and tribulations in dating.

I know, I know. How exciting can it be right?

Well I don't know if its just my good luck but I come across some class acts and why not write about it?

Besides, if you can learn from my mistakes isn't that worth something? If you don't learn from my mistakes at the very least you can laugh at some of the stuff I go through because it really is funny.

Along the way I will also post some links/articles that I find interesting and might actually be helpful. Oh yeah, I'll also probably post things on here that I find interesting that are not about dating.
