Being 30 and single is weird. It's pretty much exactly like being 29 and single, but I am bitchier about it because I can use the excuse that I'm old. I spent my 30th birthday in Europe and it was the best experience of my life, but then I was forced to come home and realize that being alone isn't as much fun as it used to be. I go out with friends and they ask about my love life because usually it's hilarious. The other day I was told that I should "get serious" about dating, whatever the fuck that means, and find someone to complete me. Instead I chose to write about what it's like to date me because I find that subject way funnier and easier to write about. I mean how can I "get serious" about dating when I don't even know what that means?
I am not as bitchy as my face looks.
This is true. I really am a nice person. I am a kindergarten teacher so I can't be that bad, right? I am a lover and a fighter wrapped into one. I love the things I'm passionate about therefore I will fight for them. This might shock you but I enjoy puppies, cold weather, and cuddling. Hell, if you let me cuddle a dog in the winter, my heart might explode! I just have a no nonsense personality and a really bitchy face so it's confusing to a lot of people. I really am not that difficult of a person to date though.
Attention! Give me all the attention!
Everyone loves attention, but I need a lot of it because it makes me feel incredibly shallow and good about myself. So a text telling me that I am beautiful like 14 times a day really helps. If you don't contact me daily though you will be put on the back burner because I have a job, a dog, and I'm going to school so I am busy as fuck.
I have my own things, so I don't need yours.
This doesn't mean that you get a free pass and don't have to do anything in the relationship, but I will never be dependent upon my partner to pay my bills. LUCKY YOU! You do still need to send me flowers, buy me records and take me out for beers because if you don't then I will find someone that will. I will also take you out for beers, buy you records and send you flowers if you want me to but your co-workers might make fun of you.
What I don't know won't hurt me, right?
WRONG! I know people and I will find out everything. Lying or sugar coating shit really gets on my nerves. You really don't have the option to lie or withhold any information from me. I work with kids all day long. I can sense a lie before it even leaves your mouth. The best part is that I probably won't call you out on it right away, but just know that I know everything. I will always trust a person until they give me a reason not to trust them anymore, but once that happens you're in trouble.
Really, I love being in love. As tough as I am and as much shit that I talk, I do really want to find someone to have fun with. I want adventures and stories of traveling around the world. I want to sit in my backyard and listen to records while drinking PBR, preferably in the fall so I don't sweat my makeup off. I want to smile everyday because I know that someone feels as lucky to have me as I feel about having them. Gag me with a spoon, but until then I will continue to be that girl that goes to the bar alone and has dudes send her drinks after telling the waitress that she looks too scary to talk to. I will also continue to write my blog and hope that people don't think I'm a total baby for posting this. I might even make fun of myself for posting this shit. Whatever. Go fuck yourself.
Hugs & Shit
Victoria
