#MyWorstDate!
So back in the day I was young, naïve, and just plan stupid! Several years ago I went on a date with, let's call them Trouble. That's all they brought me, so it's only fitting. The first date we had I tried to go in with an open mind. We met online and this was the first online date I've ever been on so I was nervous but curious to see if it was worth the hype. Before our first date we had been messaging back and forth for about a month or so. We both enjoyed the outdoors and hiking and were family oriented, so I was interested to meet in person and see what would happen.
It was a lovely summer day and we decided to met and go to a small town carnival closer to where Trouble lived. I met Trouble in a random parking lot near where the carnival was going on and we decided to walk together from there. We meet up, have our awkward hellos, this is what i look like in real life talk. Then decided to walk over and start interacting and getting to know one another. Right off the bat we walk right into some of Trouble's friends and I'm feeling like the odd man out because it seemed as though this was planned. I'm thinking to myself maybe Trouble felt uncomfortable and needed a plan B in case I was a psycho or something. So I'm rationalizing it to the best of my ability and were just walking around with Trouble's friends having a decent time, but 30 minutes in I'm thinking to myself, am I on a date with the whole crew or what? We haven't even had 10 minutes to ourselves to get a conversation going really. I am joining in the conversation as best I can for an outsider in this group of five when Trouble is like, hey wanna go check out my place? In my head I'm thinking this is a terrible idea, we already haven't had a great start, but you know what maybe we can finally talk to each other one on one now. So we head together to Trouble's house. I get a tour of the place with some small chat and one red flag is there is a bed in the middle of the living room, so I find out there are three people and one child living in a two bedroom home. Weird, but I think, okay, maybe they are all saving money, whatever. We start talking more and Trouble starts telling me about what a crazy party person they used to be. Then proceeds to tell me about how fairly recently they had a party. Trouble said they were so drunk they decided to call it a night and shower for bed, but one of the roommates' boyfriends got so drunk he came in the shower and "tried" having sex. Then the roommate joined and Trouble said they left and went to bed so they could have fun. So Trouble is talking in great detail and in my head I'm just thinking, what have I gotten myself into. I manage to have Trouble take me to my car and we part ways. Trouble's friends add me on the good ole Facebook and the next day! THE NEXT DAY! I find out she's pregnant from the attempted sex that "never" happened. Not only that but she got engaged too! Unfortunately, this person also managed to steal my identity and I had to go to court and get a restraining order. Thank goodness I have learned from my mistakes, that's all I can say!

Out With the Old in With the New!
To the romantics, who over think every detail trying to make that first date perfect, to the old school kids, still waiting for that knight in shining armor, to the chivalrous people, waiting for someone to take a chance on them, times have changed in the dating world. It is so easy to be set up for failure with the new world of online dating. It's so hard to find someone genuine whilst too easy to be someone that you're not. Online dating has made cat-fishing all too common. So to those who are still holding out for the old school kind of date this is our tribute. Our "So long," if you will.

Emotional story: Cheating a man who plays with women's feelings regrets, the girl no longer loves
"Later" in a sentence: "Later, finally in tears to understand that some people, once missed no longer." This word aptly expresses the understanding of love, people have missed. I often hear old people say that life is the most afraid of looking back, at the first hearing do not know its meaning, and then slowly wake up, the original fear of people is not looking back, afraid of looking back is once precious things, long gone.

Clinging to Childhood
The playground is empty, as it should be past sundown. There is a warm breeze, and I can see everything despite the late hour. What time is it, anyway? It could very well be past midnight. I can never keep track of time, especially in the summer. A prickly piece of popcorn hides like a stowaway in the left cup of my padded training bra. I stuffed the tissue in last minute— a decision I’m beginning to regret, based on the events that are unfolding rapidly before me. To my left, laying non-chalantly on his back, is my date for the evening. He is two years older, could probably grow facial hair if he wanted to, and drives a secondhand Honda. He may as well be a Man. I, on the other hand, feel like a fraud with my too-short short-shorts, sparkly lip gloss, and makeshift push-up bra. I keep my arms pinned to my sides as I feel the dreaded circles of sweat beginning to manifest on my brand new Abercrombie top. I cup my elbows with my hands and stare down at my hint of cleavage, praying that the tissue doesn’t pop out like a white flag surrendouring my lack of womanhood.
