Dating Mr. Douchetastic

Screen shot 2013-04-21 at 5.58.17 PM

I checked myself in the rear-view mirror one last time before deciding to apply more lipgloss. Normally I didn’t worry so much about bringing my A-game, but I’d been looking forward to this date for days. I’d met him on OKCupid a week earlier. Intrigued by his somewhat mysterious profile and abundance of what appeared …

Just Say No To Casual Sex And Friends With Benefits, If You’re Like Me

I looked in the mirror and barely recognized myself. “What the fuck were you thinking?” I asked my reflection, while I stared solemnly at the woman looking back at me. She was not who I wanted or planned to be, but after unintentionally running in another circle I’d found myself face to face with her …

Choose Mely's Adventure

I was talking to a friend on the phone today about my current state of Meh. You see, I’ve felt like I’m at a bit of standstill the last few weeks – where everyday has felt almost exactly the same. There’s been little excitement in my personal and professional life and it’s left me a …

I made jokes about mine and my date’s age difference online, offline to my friends and family, and even to my actual date because jokes are often my way of hiding my insecurity – which makes me kind of a moron.

Cougar Town > Funky Town

Cougar Town Texts
