All the names have been changed...

I am "that girl." The girl who always seems to wind up with the biggest jerk, or at the very least the most unfortunate of dating stories. The ones that you end up repeating and saying, "I would have seen that coming!," or "She walks right into disaster!" or "will she eeeevvvveer learn???"

The thing is I'm trying my damndest to learn and it seems that the dating scene is like a virus where the same shit keeps happening, but finds a new and more inventive way to attack each time.
It's not that I intentionally try to find the worst guys to date, but even when I think I'm picking the "nice guy," I find only that they are putting on their best nice man mask and sneaking up on me with a hidden girlfriend or a fetish for wearing footless Spanx.

I recently told someone that I would be the best candidate for The Bachelorette. The only prerequisite being that out of 26 guys, you have the uncanny ability to pick the biggest asshole. Jillian Harris has nothing on me..but she damn sure is close! Imma ratings goldmine, bitches!!

Anyway, since these stories sometimes upset me at first, then I'm hoping writing about it will make me laugh, maybe help me learn...and possibly you'll get something out of it too.

I always say that very thing: even if a date suckysooooos, you'll still have a good story to share. oftentimes the suckier the date, the better the story. admittedly, I've said "that very thing" more often since I haven't been single and out in the dating world (which has been really nice but sadly it's looking like this once-good thing may come to an end and. I'll be back out there with ya) - seems like great advice for my beautiful single friends but I will say it's def much easier to give advice than take it. and u know what they say - the best advice u can give urself is the advice u give others. (or something like that). in this instance, I prefer to give than to receive. ha!
