Look at her stuff! deviantART and tumblr!
My most requested topic is dating (insert dramatic pause here). Well, more like a lack of dating.
I'm at the age where half of the people I went to high school with are either getting married and/or having children or they're more like me with no time to find someone to marry or to have children with.
During this wonderfully stressful time of life, relatives and those dreadfully happy couples seem to think it's appropriate to ask you why you are still single. Why this is socially acceptable, I still don't understand. All these sadists do is make you feel like it isn't okay to spend your very little free time watching Netflix alone. Side bar- it is a million percent acceptably to watch Netflix by yourself all nigh.
There are a few issues with dating, First being there is no time for it. If I don't have time to eat on some days, I certainly don't have time to spend an hour awkwardly making small talk. I take four classes, work, write for the school paper, blog for all you lovely humans (well, maybe you aren't all human, you could read to your pets for all I know...) and I have a lot of family obligations. Now, after I complete all of these tasks all I want to do is snuggle my puppies and binge watch Gilmore Girls.
That being said, even if I did find someone I wanted to date the timing never works out, I like to refer to this phenomena as the Cinderella Effect. "Oh, Friday? Yeah, that will work. Oh wait... no I have four papers and a test on Monday." So on the off chance I do get asked on a date we'll have to schedule a few months in advance. Oh, you're looking for a relationship? I hope you don't mind only seeing me for about an hour a week since our schedules are polar opposite.
At least Cinderella was allowed a night off to go to the ball. Too bad Prince Charming was too stupid to recognize her and made everyone try her shoe on... I bet it was stretched out by the time she got it back, too.
