Dating in 2015: Here goes nothing!
It’s been over a month now since I have blogged, and I have had to deal with some personal issues, and get my life organized because let’s face it, my Lilly Pulitzer planner was struggling with events on top of events. So here it is: I want to welcome you to a new journey of this blog, brought to you by of course your one and only, but also I will include some stories I have picked up from friends, sorority sisters, and more! I hope you all enjoy my next couple of posts on dating and getting into the dating world.
We live in a world of social media and online dating. Such sites such as Tinder, Coffee Meets Bagel, and others are out there just waiting to find you a date. Of course, we all have the stories of Tinder dates and others, and I look forward to sharing those with you! Although I have only been on a couple of dates, I have other stories from my friends to share with you as well! But before I get to the stories about how someone licked my face, or how a friend had a young man talk about socks during their whole date, I will get back to simply going on a date!
Going on dates or meeting up with people is a struggle when all you have to go off of, is a Facebook photo that may be two years old. For the most part my life motto “Just fake it, till you make it” is how I try to approach these mystery dates. After being in a bad situation, many of you can guess that dating or even going on a date is not easy. It’s something I struggle with, not knowing a person’s background or having a person find out my background is difficult. As soon as that Facebook Friend Request happens, I pause and panic. I think--they will read my blog, they will know I am not all put together like I am attempting to present myself. For
weeks I feel in a state of panic, not knowing what to do. Someone close to me reminded me that if a person stumbles across my past and judges me for it, why would I want him to be a part of my life anyway? And as those words came out of her mouth, I started hitting accept. Of course like any first Tinder date, I usually never talk to him again. We had a drink, dinner, and shared enough small talk to keep each other company, and then we moved on.
The point is—I stopped panicking about what someone thought of me and started to live my life again! I know it’s a long journey, but at least it’s an exciting one! So get ready my friends, we are going to "just fake it till we make it!”
Much Love,
Molly Francis
