Valentine’s Day aka Single’s Awareness Day is fast approaching! If you’re like me, you loathe this holiday. It actually inspired me to share some of my many failed attempts to date. Inquiring minds want to know, how and why am I single? Let me count the ways…
Below are examples of conversations I’ve had over the years. Some are just pure entertainment. I’ve included a synopsis of each situation to give you context. I’d rather be single than be in a relationship with any of these guys. Unfortunately, dating has become almost a zero-sum game. My advice: know your worth and watch out for bullsh*t. Learn the rules, understand the game, and don’t get played. I am the queen of clap backs, so feel free to hit me up if you need help responding to a playa playa from the Himalayas.
I sensed this guy was a player because his communication wasn’t consistent and he was pretty flaky. He clearly got me mixed up with chick still in school. 💁🏼♀️NEXT!
I went on a first date with this guy (he was from out of town) and we got drinks during the day. He then invited me to the Kygo concert that was happening later that night. We parted ways to rest up and meet again. He text me saying he wanted to nap together and invited me to his hotel. I said, no I’d rather not and that I’ll meet him for the concert later. When it came time for the concert, he said, “sorry the ticket isn’t available anymore.” I didn’t hear from him again until this text message. 💁🏼♀️NEXT!
Another random boy who thinks I care he’s in town… 💁🏼♀️NEXT
This guy was so flaky when it came time to make plans to meet for a first date. He only messaged me whenever he was going to be out at a bar/club, instead of making plans like an adult. Funny how he was concerned on what my plans were for the night when it didn’t include him… 💁🏼♀️NEXT!
Ahhh Bumble has me buzzing… especially when I encounter a guy who’s in a relationship🤦🏻♀️. 💁🏼♀️NEXT!
I spent 2-3 weeks talking to this guy. I was actually excited to meet him! But when it came down to finally meeting, he stood me up! I tweeted this screenshot to Bumble and they sent me a bouquet of flowers 💐 as an apology on his behalf. Seriously guys, don’t swipe if you aren’t ready to date! Can I get a refund for my time wasted? 💁🏼♀️NEXT!
This convo escalated and dried up 🌵real quick! 💁🏼♀️NEXT!
If I message you at 4pm, don’t respond at 3 am. The conversation and my feelings expire at midnight. 💁🏼♀️NEXT!
Why you mad, bro? This guy had A LOT of excuses, included ‘being sick’. He also didn’t communicate well, so I decided it wouldn’t work. Regardless if he was really sick or not, he shown himself to be a major d-bag. He also messaged me a few weeks later, as if I would respond…pitiful. 💁🏼♀️NEXT!
Nahhh. 💁🏼♀️NEXT!
We had plans to go on a date. When it came time to hang out, we ignored me. However, he goes ballistic when I don’t respond to his booty call 🤣. 💁🏼♀️NEXT!
This guy asked me a question. I responded and ask him a question. He responds to me 7 days later telling me that there isn’t a “strong vibe”. If there was even a vibe, it sure as hell expired on day 3. 💁🏼♀️NEXT!
Well, that’s all folks! I have way more stories to tell but these are just a few to help you get a good laugh. Wishing you all a very special Valentine’s Day. Remember, self-love is the best love. Please feel free to share your dating stories in the comments below!
