Cosmo's March edition was ~G~O~O~D~

If you go out with a hottie, don't announce it on Facebook!

Hmmm Tweeting Status updating: or texting your friend after a date may be ruIning your relationship chances. When you know you'rE going to share later, you miss opportunities to connect because you're mentally narrating the evening. Focus on your flirting, not your Facebook!

Pursuing closure from your ex gives him power over your happiness!
You need your own happiness! Banish him from your social world. That includes defriending him on Facebook! Not following on Twitter and telling your friends not to tell you anything about him! You got to do what you got to do for your own happiness!

Ladies if you're on the pill, go off of it before marrying the guy! A lot of the times your feelings change once you stop ingesting artificial hormones into your body! Makes complete sense!

Warning: Foul language and lashing out

Fuck the fucking fuck.

I knew I would see Y tonight at the party, so naturally, I put on a kickass hot dress and prepared for a night of ignoring him and having fun with my friends because he can just suck it and eat his heart out.  But what I was not at all prepared for was for the goddamn asshole to bring a date and be all over her all night.  Really?  Was that necessary?  Did you do that just to spite me?  Fucking asshole.

I hate that this shit still gets to me after all this time.  Fuck fuck fuck fuck.  What a prick.

I want to go on "Reality" TV! t looks like fun!

Reality TV is the perfect escape! My poison of choice is the Bachelor!
Final four hometown dates!

Lindsay~ Was at yoga for your hometown. Caught the tail end. Your dad's name is Harry Cox! HaHa!!! Harry Cox!! Harry Cox!!! (Bringing out the middle schooler in you!)

Kacie B!~ Byebye. She was almost having a heart attack going home. Your parents smothered the guy on your hometown. You had to have seen this coming! REALLY! Plus your little baton! I was laughing at that baton twirling! Now you have much more time to practice between now and the bachelor pad.

Nicki~ Yawn*Yawn*

These girls are so boring to watch! All the other girls are trying to convince Ben it's like this and it's like that... I like you.. Do you like me?

Boom~Boom~ CourtnEy is already off marrying the guy while your debating your feelings. Beating all you girls to it once again! I don't think the idea was creepy at all. Next week another girl is going home! And boom it is the proposal. What is so creepy about picturing the wedding. The proposal is less then two weeks away!

Next week by-ebye Nicki! (That is just me calling it. I do not read the spoilers!)

This is me!

What is this girl trying to prove by having this as her main profile picture? Ok haters keep on hating! I love this picture because most of the time I photograph "cute". I think this picture is HOT!
Apparently, so do all these random Facebook guys that have been adding me since this became my main Facebook picture.
Here is a convo from a guy I met on vacation two years ago!

I just want you to know I think that you are super hot! I should have put on more "mack" game while at the Condado Plaza in Puerto Rico. Your profile photo is amazing.


  • Why thank you Mr. Alcock (Autocorrect mistake haha)




  • I should have been Mr. Alcock in PR.



  • Haha your a little slow for my tastes! That vacation was two years ago! You just noticed me now?



  • I was busy saving our country, darling. Forgive me. Didn't you get the flowers I had the my agents deliver to your home two weeks after the trip? (Inside joke)


  • You might want to fire those guys!






  • The random adds from Miss Fully clothed would be few and far between!
    Men~ Creatures of visualization.

    woof

    Maybe this is a strange thing to ask, but do you ever feel attracted to someone because of their voice?

    This guy at work doesn't have a remarkable voice, but something about it triggers something in my brain--like every time he so much as clears his throat, just like Pavlov's dog, I start to salivate.

    Just wondering.

    What I know about love now that I'm in my 20s by Michelle Cacciatore

    I really like this article! I did not write it, but it is sooooo good I had to share it with the world!!!!

    Somewhere along the way, my quarter-centennial crept up on me. 25 is paradoxical -- you know you're still so, so young, that you still have so much to learn, that there is so much ahead. And yet, by this age some people have done insanely impressive things -- founded companies, written books, given birth. New realizations begin to appear on the periphery of your mind: You no longer want to be at the bar for last call, and sleep is more important than it was at 22. For me, it was also a moment to take inventory of my love life. Combing through about nine years of dating, I've come up with a few things I know to be true. I'm certain over time this list will change or double, but here's what I've got so far:
    You know the answers to your questions.
    I've read at least five articles over the years advising me to "follow my inner voice." I thought it was a new-agey cliche and never really paid attention. Then I realized that for most of the bad decisions I've made in relationships, I knew at the outset they were wrong. I spent hours in diners with best friends debating whether I should end things with a guy, even though I subconsciously already knew the answer. That internal voice is actually there, and it's telling you what you know you need to do, even if you don't want to know. Warning: It's usually pushing the most difficult option, the one that will give you the most peace in the long run even if it breaks your heart in the meantime.
    If anyone is going through anyone's email inbox/phone/Facebook account, you shouldn't be together.
    Social media has destroyed the notion that there are some things we don't need to know. In the last decade, it's become possible to find out not just what your boyfriend's prom date looked like but what she did on her recent vacation in Hawaii. If either of you feels the need to snoop, something is very wrong. I discovered this years ago when my ex looked through all of my Facebook messages while I was in the shower. After that night, I never thought of him the same way; a boundary had been crossed, and there was no going back. Everyone deserves privacy -- the question is whether or not someone deserves your trust.
    No matter how progressive you are, manners matter.
    For a while l had trouble admitting this, because I grew up believing you can do it all on your own. When I was younger, I used to love the kind of guy parents hate. It took a few good men to show me you can be independent and still appreciate a guy who holds the door for you. Is he polite to your friends? Does he remember you're out of milk? These aren't necessarily deal breakers, but when a guy walks you home or grabs a heavy bag out of your hand, appreciate it. Good manners say a lot about a person.
    You chose the friends you have for a reason. Take their advice seriously.
    The friends you spend the most time with have probably known you longer than any guy you're dating has. They can recognize when you're happy or not, so if you're coming to them for guidance, pay attention to what they say. Any man I've been with that my friends have red-flagged has always turned out to be trouble. I suppose it's possible that your friends will initially hate the right guy for you, but I'd say probably not. My guess is they'll never tell you anything you don't already know. Bottom line: If your friends don't like him, it's likely doomed to fail.
    Intimacy is communication. Period.
    The greatest lesson a man I loved ever taught me was that being intimate means creating a safe space to talk about how you each feel, whether it's your fears, your dreams or your insecurities. You should never feel like you have to be quiet because you don't want to rock the boat. Those who truly love you will want you to talk, even if you don't think you should.
    It's not how he is when things are good; it's how he is when things are bad.
    After the dates slowly become just hanging out and you're settling into something serious, you'll surely encounter rough patches in your own lives. It's in those moments that you see what people are really made of. One night, when a guy I was dating slept over, I had a nasty fall while running to the bathroom, which resulted in a broken toe. When I limped back into the room, he nonchalantly rolled over and went back to sleep. As I iced my foot over my bathtub the rest of the night, I knew I had to break it off. If that's how he is when my toe is broken, how's he going to be when something really tragic goes down?
    You can't change or save anyone, so stop trying. (So true sister! Preach on!!!)
    Sure, people can evolve, but only at their own will, which is a fundamental truth I wish wasn't so. If he's not motivated about his career, you won't be able to motivate him. If he drinks too much, he'll continue to do so no matter how much you hate it. This is one of the hardest lessons to learn, and something I'm not sure anyone can ever master. Instead, try to remember that you have to want the person you met from day one, because chances are that's exactly what you're getting for the long haul.
    Don't feel guilty about breaking up with someone.
    Having these sort of conversations are brutal, and we'll go to great lengths to avoid them (including staying in the relationship far longer than we'd like). I remember having that feeling at the end of a summer fling when we had to decide if we were going to change our lives to be together or not.
    "Are you crazy about me?" he asked, and I was confused. "I think we like each other a lot," he continued, "but we're not crazy about each other and we should find someone we are crazy about." It was tough to hear, but he was right, I wasn't, and it's okay to admit when something isn't working.
    We've all been heartbroken, and sometimes we're the heartbreakers, and that's just life. Be graceful, be kind, but always be honest with yourself and the person you don't want to be with anymore.
    It's always for the best.
    Sadly this only comes in retrospect, but I've never found it to be untrue. I've spent months obsessing over relationships that didn't work out, or how things used to be with ex-boyfriends, but I can confidently say there isn't any former flame I should still be with. Recently, at the Apple store near my apartment, I bumped into a guy I dated who took a long time to stop thinking about. After briefly saying hello (and despite how great he still looked), I knew we were both meant to be without each other. Remember; relationships end because they aren't working anymore.
    Be okay with yourself.
    Look, dating is arduous. Despite some amazing highs and great moments, you'll face times when you don't even want to do it anymore. The only way to survive the road of romantic triumphs, tragedies, and humbling episodes is to be okay with who you are and know that there is someone who'll love you for exactly as you come. It's important to always strive to be better, but throw away the first-date-facades and be yourself.
    It's worth it.
    I'd like to note that I've disregarded every lesson on this list, and it'd be wishful thinking to assume I'll never break one of them again. When it comes to something as elusive as love, it's hard to know when you're going about it the right way, or if all the ups and downs will lead to what you're hoping to find. No one can be sure it will. But it only seems fair the search wouldn't be an easy one. After all, of all the journeys one would take, could you think of one more worth it than the path that leads to love?

    The Day is OVER!

    We all survived!!!!! Some more bitterly than others, but life goes on.

    I created the task of having 14 Valentines. I thought it was a G~R~E~A~T idea! I picked out qualities that I like in people and based it all of positive qualities. Male & Females were included. Why settle for one when you can have 14? Plus I got a random guy that I haven't heard from in over 2 years asking to be number 15. Then he gets disappointed that I erased his phone number! Hello! It has been 2 years!
    What do you expect?

    What other major developments:

    Billionaire said he was attracted to me~ Bad choice in words... Attraction is NOTHING... I would much rather hear I enjoy talking to you. Your funny... Attraction is purely physical.. Or at least say something nice about my personality & being attracted to me. I don't like a guy just saying he is attracted. That means he just wants SEX!!!

    Extreme Loser~ Was more interested in where I was... And what I was doing?
    No flowers... Thankfully I didn't hold my breath on that one.

    I had one guy wish me Happy Valentine Day three times!!!
    A few other randoms wished me a Happy Valentine's Day tooo...

    I want to find one decent guy! It is frustrating!!! I never reach out to these guys ever! I don't care for them! They reach out to me.. I engage for pure entertainment purposes. Mainly just to write about it here because their actions are unbelievable.

    Here is to cutting the ties and finding fresh... Starting now!
    Stay tuned for tomorrow! A great article I found online not written by any contributing writer of the blog will be posted...

    It's a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day

    I'm not one of those girls who calls Valentine's Day "Singles Awareness Day," wears black, and rebels against all things love-related and insists on spending the day with my single girlfriends like some kind of tribe or cult.  Usually I really don't care, and it's pretty much like any other day for me, except that people spend lots of money on a pointless greeting-card-industry-created holiday celebrating something that should be celebrated every day, anyway.  Truly--I've been single every Valentine's Day for the last 31 years (including the year my ex-bf broke up with me two days before just so he didn't have to deal with it), and I still really don't care about it.  It's a little cheesy to me, but power to all those who want to celebrate their love.  That seems like a positive thing.

    But.

    Today I woke up to my alarm after a sleepless night, grumpy, groggy, and completely on the wrong side of the bed.  I have more work than can possibly be done by one person waiting for me at the job and am praying for a miracle to just get me through it.  And all the bragging among my happily-coupled friends (in my office, they're all walking back to their desk with the flowers they just had delivered and playing sappy music on their computers of the e-cards they received, and online, if they're in a relationship, it's pictures of roses on facebook, and if they have kids, it's a picture of their kids wearing a valentines outfit or working on a valentines craft) is sickening.  Their flaunting of their love, coupled by the loneliness-induced Major Depressive Disorder that I'm already fighting, reminds me even more of how unhappy I am and makes me literally (and I do know the proper use of the word literally, so I mean it) sick to my stomach.  Whatever happened to "love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast"?  Could you please not brag about it, and I'll try hard not to be jealous of it?  I think it's great to celebrate love.  But you celebrating your love does not need to make the morning news or be broadcasted to all those around you, or stop traffic on my way to work so that the cop can manage cars in the florist's parking lot (and yes, that really did happen to me).

    I just can't handle it today.  After work, I'm going straight to bed.  And then moving to Australia.  Mom says some days are like that, though.  Even in Australia.  Maybe I'll have to get some tips from Alexander (hoping you all got the literary reference).

    Trying to stay positive,
    Skeptic

    4th year in a row $ingle!


    I like Valentine's Day! Yep I said it, so what. I hate chicks that also call it "Singles Awareness Day." Who cares? You know if you had someone your ass would be posting your: balloons, candy, cards, flowers, teddy bears, (cough/cough) or whatever guys get females on this day. So stop hating on it! Embrace Valentine's Day!!!

    So far for Valentine's I got a picture of five dying roses with a toy baby.
    I really want to post the picture here! It is amazing.
    A Valentine <3 with flowers!!! Thanks Dad!
    "Extreme Losers" promise of flowers. He contacted me. We shall see.
    I doubt the flowers are on the way. At least for his case because I do not want to see him again.

    Him: Hey there! Who's your friend on The Bachelor? I am watching it now!
    Me: I never said my friend is on that show!
    Him: OOOO! Ok how are you doing?
    Me: Great, watching my show now.  How is bowling?
    Him: Bowling is good!!!
    Me: Great!!! Do you need my address to send Valentine flowers?
    Him: HaHa I found it already!!! It will be a surprise! (Only surprise here is that the flowers will never show! Surprise!) What are you going to do tomorrow?
    Me: Not sure yet...you?
    Him: Same.

    Power to the pointless convos! So he wants to see what I'm doing, but doesn't care to ask me to do something. What is the point?

    A little off topic, but I love Courtney on the bachelor! We all can learn from her. If it is meant to be it will be! I'm her biggest fan! All the other girls are sweating small stupid stupid stuff. Courtney is just living life!
    Guess who the guy likes the ~B~E~S~T~???

    Loving this girl!!!! If she was not on the show I would not be watching because Ben sucks!
    This girl has tooooo much personality for Ben!!!!

    Males and Ovens the Correlation

    Oven Range
    I developed this theory... We shall call it the oven theory. Once you make it onto a burner of the oven it is very hard to get off the oven. For example a guy is really into you.. you're on the "super burner". Then comes the regular burners. You hear from this guy maybe once a week. If you don't hear from them for awhile you're on simmer. But they are never truly gone!!!! N~E~V~E~R~

    No I'm not sitting home waiting for you guys!

    What is with guys trying to make plans for the day of for events?!?! REALLY!!! ANNOYING!

    First of all "Strong Loser" circled back today

    Him: Disbeliever, how are u doing?
    Him: Disbeliever, what are you going to do tonight?
    Him: Wanna go out?
    Me: I'm in the city now. (Technically true... I'm in the city in which I live.)
    Him:Wow! Nice hahaha. Party?
    I did not answer. I haven't heard from this guy since Tuesday, when he took his Brazilian to the movies and not me.

    Onto the other one: Billionaire
    Continued from yesterday:
    Him: Why would you even say that? If I did I would have kept her, wouldn't you like to be my chick? ;)
    LOL
    Good morning by the way.
    And sorry about last night. I fell asleep.
    Me: I like that response! I was just joking!!! (Just playing the game here.)
    Him: Would you like to be my better half? (HaHa this was after a month of not hearing from the guy! I seriously thought he was JOKING!)
    Me: You're joking...
    Him: Why would I joke... I'm serious...
    Me: I need to get to know you better!
    Him: So let's do it.
    Me: Ok I agree.

    S~E~R~I~O~U~S~L~Y~ I'm so tired of playing these dating games here.

    All Guys are Jerks!

    HaHa this is how I feel right now. What a terrible mindset to be in I know!
    I'll try not to stay here for tooo long. It is just a brief visit, but I want to get it out in the open in the bloggy world.

    First off the Billionaire is trying to circle back again after a month.
    How do I feel about this? I feel that if he really liked me he would have tried harder and not let a month go by. Maybe it is my fault though for making things "difficult." I never reached out to him. He brought this up. I never reached out because our first date talk was all about how much money he has. Ok just give me your credit card and let me spend it! I just texted him "hi." Haha that is it! Let the games begin. I want to see his response. If he responds at all. Ok now I have a convo going on. After about a half an hour. I came back to this.
    Me: Hi
    Him: Hi Love
    Me: (I ignored the love part. I hate guys that try to force closeness when it is not there! Maybe if we hooked up, but we didnt!) Just tired from work.
    Him: Same here.
    Me: Why did you go missing for a month? (I figure got nothing to loose. Maybe I can give girls some insight here.)
    Him: I asked the same question to you. (HaHa well my father taught me never to answer a question with another question. Apparently his father didn't do the same.)
    Him: What matters is that we are back in touch.
    Me: You probably had another chick. (I really feel it is this! No response. I sent this at 10:25... Hmm do I look insecure? O well... I'll wait on a response. Warning. I can be waiting forever. It is now 11 p.m.! Nothing!)

    My "strong potential" from January 29th's post turned out to be a strong loser. I think I last heard from him Monday. Tuesday I had a funeral to go to. I thought maybe later that night we could catch a movie to cheer me up. I brought up the idea to him about it. His reply: "I'm going to see if a Brazillian friend of mine wants to go. I'll see if she wants to go. I'll get back to you." My response was just OK. That was it. Can you believe it?! The week before his friend from Puerto Rico was out. I feel like he has a Spanish congo line of friends.

    Do you think men of a certain ethnic background fall into crazier than most? I do! I won't list the group here, but I'm sure you can tell. These guys advise you when you don't seek anyone's advice. For example last week I had a guy tell me you should shake your ass more when I was dancing! Does your wife know you're watching me shake MY ASS when I'm dancing? I should tell her! Then one I dated told me his mother was going to the hospital. I asked him about it later and he said his mother was not at the hospital. He looked super confused about it. A lot of shady stuff going down. It is like a hamster wheel of "coo-coo- craziness!" I do feel like it is a constant cycle. Keep your lies straight. Might I add they are also terrible communicators! If someone asks to speak with you, do it. Stop avoiding situations and man up! If you have a wife you can not have a girlfriend! At least not me. I'm 27 years old/ no kids/ no drama. I don't need you to add drama to my list! Maybe I should try a "nice" Polish guy now! HaHaHa!
    I had someone ask me the question about what to do in an unhappy marriage. First of all I'm no expert, but if you ask I shall tell. First get a good counselor. Decide if you both will attend counseling together. Is their a marriage to save? Maybe you just need to work harder at this point in your marriage.
    Do you even want to try to work things out? If the answer is no, then go to counseling for yourself. It can help you sort out your feelings. Reasons not to stay together: finances/ the kids.
    Your money/ Her money. Not your problem anymore.
    Plus kids don't want two unhappy people co-existing just for them. They can tell! You can be completely single in a year and ready to date again. Plus you both might be happier and better off single. Then and only then should you be thinking about attending dating events. Once you feel truely ready, make some type of decision though because why go though life unhappy?

    I just went over some of my dating history. It is all negative, depressing, whiney and bitchy! Maybe this is why I'm single... HaHa~ I would love to post more postive on here. I realize I have to make it happen. I really really want to go to speed dating now. I'm looking at the 1st, 2nd or 4th weekend of March sometime. Other then that, I'm pretty booked. I have to plan to go on a speed date super soon! Or I will plan some Living Social event. I'm happy they seem to be getting invovled in a lot more now. That is also a great way to meet people. *Sigh*
    Also any guy that doesn't get me flowers on February 14th I will not talk to anymore! Flowers and chocolates actually! :)
