A modern day bra-burning, only not, because that would be expensive.
I had a not so fun Sunday, for some reason I couldn't shake this feeling that something was off... you know how they say that your twenties are supposed wild and crazy and fun.... but most days it feels as though my twenties are crazy, work filled and sometimes fun. Perhaps it's me. Anyways, so I called on of my boys to talk it out, or at least engage in idle chit chat until I felt better. (By the way TBS, I see you blatently ripping off my life with this "my boys" show, bitches) I love that I can call my boys and actually not feel bad about talking to them on the phone, usually with guys you have about 5 minutes to capture there interest, and that is assuming they want to touch you inappropriately, because otherwise they won't get on the phone with you. So we were talking about football (my poor Tom Brady got slaughtered) and this new girl he is dating, and the date that I had gone on recently. The date I had gone on was an accidental date, you know the kind where you sorta find out mid-way through it that you are out on a date.... which I think is just a testiment to the type of guys I deal with out here in LA.
Sidenote- WTF is wrong with you, that you actually passively go on dates, this is the christian method of dating.... the "hangout." As in let's you and me, "hangout" one on one, and I will pay for dinner etc, but we are totally just "hanging out"... um, what do you think a date is genius.
Anyways, in the middle of this conversation with the Ex, whom the blog knows and loves, I realized, that half the crap that I stress about, I bring upon myself. I overanalyze and overworry myself into more trama than it's worth, which by the way is a v. meh thing to do. So new challenge for me, I am doing the things I like, I want and I am done with the rest (A modern day bra burning).... we will see how this all falls out in the next week. But so far so good, I told SFCW to kiss it this morning, it felt liberating.
In other news, you know you live in Los Angeles when the standard "what do you give your mail person for xmas story" actually becomes "what do you give your stylist, for the holidays"
BWAH...

Really? Does this mean we have been on a date? If so, then I think you already have Iowa covered: Passive and unintentional. I've got Hawaii covered too: Tricks you into dates. I am also pretty sure this means I've gone on dates with Jon Mark, Chris, Nicole, Azina, Pedram and many of my other friends. Does that make me slutty? Gay? Oh my god, I went on a date with my brother last night!!! Dear Lord!
See I would say, that shenanigans like 'dating across america' are more passive methods of dating. Allowing, people to ask each other on real dates without any pretense of romantic interest. Sneaky, very sneaky.
Shut it nate....
But I would say, if you were talking to me constantly and wanted to hang out constantly without actually asking me out on a date, you suck.
But a one time thing... not so much.
Dating across America, exists for the humor of the blog.... everything I do I do for you damn it.
Just your poor behind the times Mom.....What the heck is SFCW? .....And should I be okay that you told it to "kissed it"?
Did you just quote Brian Adams? That, is pretty fantastic.
But yes, I would agree that if a guy is trying to get a date but doesn't have the proper post pubescent packaging to own up and ask the girl out, then that is a pretty weak move. God forbid the plan be 'to get really close as friends and then make my move'. Dear Lord!
I think generally the problem is, you girls are all so sexy that we want to date all of you. Is that so wrong?
Not Wrong... Just Passive Agressive....
The friend zone is not your friend.
Did you see my shout out to your brother, he is a most excellent cooper.
haha first I love that you told nate to shut it. :D
secondly, nate you mean all those times we've hung out weren't dates??? I'm crushed. :( (and sooo kidding)
I agree that passive dating sucks, but if I'm hanging out with a guy friend and there has been no declaration of romantic intention and he pays, I don't call it passive dating, I just call it nice. If it is happening on a regular basis b/c he's not man enough to ask the girl out, he needs to grow a set or get out of the game. And to be fair the girl shouldn't be putting up with that kind of crap. Call him out on it.
God forbid the plan be 'to get really close as friends and then make my move'. Dear Lord!
wait, so nate are you for this plan or against it? ;) and nice attempt at buttering up with that "so sexy" bit, that's cute.
The friend zone is not your friend.
Amen!
