I’ve been single for almost 2 years now. A girl starts to think, “Is it me? Is there something wrong with me that my friends aren’t telling me? Am I really that crazy? Is is the way I look? Something I said? Am I shooting out of my league?”. A girl has to wonder, what is so wrong with me that men just don’t want to date me? Well, after discussing it with my mother, my sister and some girlfriends… I have come to the conclusion that it’s not me. It’s men.

Dating is hard. Once you are out of college, how do you meet people? The bar. The grocery store. Online dating. It all sucks. Men at the bar aren’t looking for a relationship. No man is going to have the courage to ask you out after you both reach for the same apple in the produce department. Online dating is a gamble. I’ve tried it all. Tinder is always good to meet men, however, the majority of them are just looking for a “good time”. Lately I’ve been trying my luck on Match.com. It’s been going no where. I meet a man I like, and then 3 dates later he disappears and gives me the silent treatment. I’ve come to have no expectations.

Let’s be real, the majority of men in their early 20’s just want to get laid. And that’s ok. Women want to get laid too. However, we come across a double standard. Men get high-fived for sleeping around, women get shunned. It’s sad to admit that our generation has changed the way we perceive intimacy. What ever happened to a man picking up a girl at her house, taking her to dinner and then walking her to her door at the end of the night? Now it’s just, Netflix and chill. Which really means, I just want to get in your pants. Of course, not every man (or woman) acts like this. But my experiences say otherwise. The second you tell them no sex, they are gone.

Don’t get me wrong. This isn’t going to be a blog about me bashing men. Women have their roll in dating too. I’m just going to share my dating stories, and maybe some random life stories, and I’ll let you be the judge.

Happy reading my friends!
