Twitter Love? Ohh noooo ♥♥♥

Has anyone tried online dating or are we all still reading other people’s love stories and hoping that’s what our story will sound like? My first thought was what do you even classify as online dating? Is it only when you meet people through the services that are specified towards that purpose or could it be when I meet someone through social networks like twitter. You know how it goes on twitter, starts to follow me, then he retweets everything I say, a few lols here and there then he sends me a direct message to tell me I’m a cutie and I’m too funny, I say awww thank you, after several dm’s, he’ll say something like “text me on my phone (XXX) XXX-XXXX J” we hang out and fall in love? Is that online dating? And if you think this scenario I've just summarized in 140 characters or less doesn’t happen on twitter for real, you’re clearly in a relationship or just “ignant” (lol, I crack up every time I use it). Lol I’m not sure how it’ll sound to my dad if I tell him I met a guy on twitter. I was charmed by his avatar and occasional tweets so we fell in love. Its one of those situations I don’t want to be in because my dad can be mean L #disclaimer I have met some wonderful guys on twitter but I also met some jerks. This doesn't mean I think traditional online dating like Eharmony, Match.com and so on are bad, I just don’t think Its something I’ll do and If I ever did, I might make up another story of how we met and he’ll have to agree. J

Moving on, we’ve all had science experiments right, regardless of what high school or college you attended, you’re required to take science lab as a requirement to graduate. Well this first book “The science of single” has 7 different dating experiments that she carries out and the first one is online dating

Anyways so in my attempt to try this online dating out, I signed up for EHarmony. I have to tell you though, the process is LONG, So many questions to answer and they ask you everything, as subtle as possible but trust me everything is being asked. The only question they didn’t ask was if I might be interested in an orgy O_o. Anyways so after enduring the long process and completing my profile, I have 4 matches already but I have to subscribe to their service for 25 bucks. Umm yea not happening guys, I have to come up with more affordable ways to meet ppl I’m compatible with online and you guys have to help me. I need ideas to carry this out and since Twitter is in, maybe someone will read this, see that I’m a cutie and send me a DM then we can get this show on the road.

The Single Experiment.

Has anyone of you ever googled "Reasons to be single"? Me I have oh, on days when most people on twitter can't stop talking about their boo who just took them out to dinner or their babe who just commented on their Facebook picture. It can be oh so cute but could also be a reminder that it’s possible to stick my finger down my throat. It’s alright guys, this blog is not going to bash those in committed relationships as a matter of fact I'm going to tell you about new ways I've discovered to be like you in a kinda sorta sarcastic way

I am single and loving it, NOT. Too many people use this phrase even though you can see they are not even over their ex of 2 years ago, abeg stop trying too hard to cover up common knowledge. Don’t get me wrong and think I’m some psycho who cries about being single, there are some days when I am "loving" being single and other days when I just want someone apart from my friends to call me and ask me what’s wrong, tell me they love me and everything will be alright. It’s that kind of love that’s the hardest to come across and keep. I’m a hopeless romantic and I doubt if at this age, anyone can make me feel guilty about it. Let’s be honest, everyone needs someone to love and I'm sure most people can argue that they have their friends and blah blah blah... YESSS we know, but there are different types of love abeg so either agree or go and kiss and touch those your friends and see what happens.

I was at Barnes and Noble last week and walked past the Self Improvement isle. Just to help you paint a mental picture, there are two long aisle at this particular store o self-improvement and on one side its filled with books about finding your inner confidence, marriage, how to work on your relationships and so on. On the other aisle, 75% of the space is taken up by books about being single i.e. how to stay single and happy, finding the one, letting go of Mr. Wrong and the other 25% is on how to have sex. I am not even going to front and say I didn't look through that aisle because I spent my whole hour that I should have used to get something to eat and prepare for my next class there. But it got me wondering, is that really all there is to it? Is this what we should worry ourselves with? Ways to NOT be single and how to have better sex, I mean who says there’s always a better way to have sex anyways. I think the process is very self-explanatory don’t you think?

Back to my Barnes and Noble experience, I ended up buying 3 books for about 40 bucks and I’m sure Bank of America was laughing at me because they know my balance and I should not be spending that amount on anything for the fun of it. Anyways the book “The science of Single” by Rachel Machacek is about how she spends an entire year just casually dating by using every popular method your mom and your best friend have told you about. A lot of dating experiences she talks about will crack you up and you’ll be able to relate to. Second book by Kristin Kuhns “Find a great guy now and forever” and the third one by Dr. Connell and someone else “smart women, foolish choices”. These three books should do for a while now abi what do you think? There is a playful book, a serious one and one written by psychologists which means they have done some tests and serious experiments; I mean they are psychologists for crying out loud. So Instead of reading those book, read my blog because I’ll tell you what they say, add my own experiences and experiences of others who care to share. I’m starting my experiment and blogging about it. Before I figure out how I plan on doing that, I have to finish these books first right. :D
