All the Single Ladies!

[I've been following Date Girl @ Date Girl Diaries pretty much since she started her blog (ironically a day after I began mine!). I followed her when she was single lady, up until she began dating her now husband-to-be Match. She has a wonderful blog, and we've become great blog friends. So when I thought it might be fun to have a guest blogger, she was the first person that came to mind! So I hope you enjoy it, and you better check out her blog also! I demand it (well, strongly suggest it). OR ELSE.
P.S.-If you've been having trouble commenting, I fixed it so you can. I had an annoying troll, so I adjusted the settings for a few days. He seems to have moved on now.]

Hey lovelies,

Miss Britt has asked me to do a guest post on her blog while she's off gallivanting on her honeymoon with Adam. Lucky girl! I was nervous because let's face it, Brittany's entries are always so fun and entertaining, and I didn't want to disappoint you all. In honor of Brittany and Adam's marriage, I decided to go with an old entry about what I hate about being single since neither of them have to ever worry about these headaches again. :-)

Oh no, no, no, don’t go! I’ve scared ya. I said too much. I’m hopeless and awkward and desperate for love! – Chandler, Friends
When Match and I got together, we talked about how much we hated the dating scene. We were both ready for a serious relationship, and we just wanted to be out of the date game. I thought it’d be fun to list the top things I hate about dating and being single in general.

1. Stressing Out- First dates suck, period. When I found Match, we had a great first date, but that great first date is so rare. 90% of the time you're checking your cell phone every five minutes wondering when this torture is going to end.

2. Games-Don’t call, don’t act too interested. Do call, but be aloof. When to play it cool, when to show you care. It’s all so damn confusing. If I like a person, I just want to be able to tell them. Enough of the games!

3. The Gray Area-it’s that period of time where you really don’t know where you stand. Are you a couple? Are you exclusive? Can you go on other dates if asked? I don’t think I’m alone in my hatred for this unknown.

4. Waiting-waiting for the phone to ring. Waiting for the second date invitation. Waiting for him to kiss me. Waiting for him to call me his girlfriend. I’m way too impatient for all of those things.

5. The Let Down-when I have had those rare occasions of a great first date, and then the next time out is a complete let down. It’s that ohhhhh moment, when the deal breakers come out.

6. Finding Out the Truth-You know the type: he starts off amazing, and you think, this is it, this is THE guy for me. And then the real him comes out, and he’s really a complete ass.

7. Loneliness-In between dates, when I was single, I spent a lot of my time alone. Eating dinners by myself is depressing, and I hate sleeping alone.

8. Being a Third Wheel-We all have those well meaning friends, those couples that invite us out. “Come along, it’ll be fun, you won’t feel like a third wheel at all!” Yeah right. Sorry, but no matter how hard friends try, if you’re single, its obvious, and a part of you is always going to feel awkward in a room full of couples.

So that’s my basic list of things I hated about being single and the dating world. What do (did) you hate about being single?

I love comments, and I always read my comments. But sometimes I make a mental note to go comment back on your blog, and then forget to (Even if I’m an avid read of your blog, whoops). Since I'm so bad about this, I will mostly reply to comments in my comment section, so please check back! If you have something pressing to talk to me about you can e-mail me at brittanyervin86@yahoo.com.
Britt
