"You're Fat" Another Dating Misadventure

-

Dating in 2024 is an absolute drag. I have made many connections in the last few months but nothing has really worked out. I have been seeing a guy (Shared Birthday Boy) fairly consistently for the last 3ish weeks, but we are not official. He ghosted me for 24-hours this past weekend, so I took the time to update my dating profiles (FB Dating and Tinder) during the break. My profile is super fun, if I do say so myself. 

Pros and Cons of Dating Me: 

Pros:

  • I always have snacks in my bag.
  • I am a good listener and I will research the hell out of things you're interested in so I can be more engaging. 
  • I have a Costco membership and I'm always down for a Costco run. 
  • -I can talk about a plethora of topics!
Cons:
  • I am allergic to most animals (but I can buy allergy pills in bulk at Costco, haha).
  • I am hyper-independent and over-scheduled so I require at least 2 business days to schedule a date.

With the bio update I also posted a few new pictures of myself. I ended up getting 20 matches by the end of Saturday afternoon. I chatted with a few of the guys and had some pretty good conversations. 

I matched with a guy a few towns over and we were talking about sourdough bread. He told me about the 100-year-old sourdough starter that he recently inherited. We probably spent an hour talking about our love for bread. I thought things were going well, until the exchange below:


The AUDACITY of this man. Shaking my head.

I was flabbergasted, speechless, and super mad when I got his message. Please excuse the salty language in my response, I was tired and a little emotional. I can't stand when people think it's okay to comment on another person's body or weight.

So anyway, if Shared Birthday Boy wants to commit to a relationship with me that would be great. I like him a lot and I'm tired of talking to people on the apps. 😉

Yup. That's right today is my 14th birthday. (I was born on 5-5-95!!! Isn't that awesome?!) I can't believe it! It doesn't feel like it's a year since whining about turning 13!! Anyway so my mom made me a delicious birthday breakfast that consisted of: Pancakes (raspberry, and cinnamon), cantaloupe, mini sausages, and hash browns!! It was all so good! And then my brothers and sister decorated my bed so when I woke up I was confused, and they decorated a birthday chair for me!!! I LOVE my family!! Yesterday I was talking to two girls in Kung-Fu named Diana, and Briana (they're sisters) and telling them about my birthday. I kept laughing because they were saying," Girl, you're going to need a walker, and dentures for your birthday presents this year......because you're old !!!" Then all the girls started telling me how old I looked to them. Briana said "15". Caterpillar said "25". And Diana said "400"! I told them I

And her name was Ms. Bossy Pants

There's this girl in my brothers church class. Her name is Ms. Bossy Pants . Just from her name you can find that she likes to boss people around, even if they're three times bigger than her! In sharing time she was in the row in front of where I was sitting. I was talking to the girl next to me trying to block out Ms. Bossy Pants bossiness. Then she turned around and started doing her signature move(rubbing her index fingers together and saying,"For shame."Oh! And shaking her head at the same time!) Isn't she such a little multi- tasker ? She started with the,"For shame Sunbum . For shame, your not suppose to be talking right now." (In my defence we still hadn't started class yet.) But that was enough for me, I didn't care if her mom was behind me(telling her mom is her only defence). Who is she to tell me what to do? Then the evillest plan popped into my head. I smiled wickedly at her. Then I turned to the girl next to me and said,"Oh loo

The Office Extravert

Before the pandemic I was a very social person. I had a PACKED social calendar, and constantly sought to be around people. I would host weekly game nights, friend dinners, and group outings. During and post-pandemic I was left with a lot of social anxiety and depression, and that really impacted my ability to socialize with others. I was convinced that one of the lasting symptoms of COVID was introversion.  When I first started working in my current office, I was still recovering from teacher burnout. I felt drained after any social interaction, and felt overwhelmed in highly populated areas (i.e. the grocery store). Anyway, when I started working in the office, I told my parents daily about how chatty people in the office were. I frequently said, "Wow, everyone in the office is so chatty. They just stop by my desk to talk to me all the time. Sometimes I get behind in my work because people stop so often.*" *I feel the need to clarify that I am constantly weeks ahead of sched
