Dating

I've been chased by many boys.

Let's face it, for those who know me, I go through guys like the weather here in Delaware changes. Sometimes it's for the best, other times, I get bored, or I realize I never really was interested. However, every relationship I've been in, every guy I've been with, I've learned something about myself.

I've had perfect first dates and horrid first dates. I've been swept off my feet from first glance, and walked out on a date by first course. You name it, I've probably been through it. I should clarify that many of these dates you're going to hear about, are first dates, regardless if I ended up dating him. Just dinner or coffee. From Tindr to Bumble to OkCupid to Plenty of Fish, I have tried them all. I've been called beautiful, stunning, self absorbed, and complex. I've dated boys who I thought I would spend the rest of my life with, and boys who I never should have even thought of dating. I've laughed off break-ups and spent ages crying over them. I've drank my tears and anger and sorrow away, and I've thrown myself into my schoolwork to rid myself of those memories. I've blasted Caleb Lovely's "Yours", "Miserable", and "Cherry Tree" in hopes of ridding myself of the memories.

I've fallen in and out of love. Found the difference between infatuation and love. I've been told "I love you" more times then perhaps, I should have been told. I've learned the difference between being in love with someone and loving someone. I've learned when to walk away and when to stay. I've learned the hard way that no boy is worth crying over, especially after drinking a bottle of port.

Why am I writing these blog posts, you're asking? It's not to brag. Not even in the least. It's to share my experiences. A close friend of mine once told me, I should blog about the guys I meet and go on dates with, so I figured why not.
Names have been changed for the privacy of the guys I have dated, but the stories are still the same.
