Where would the world be today if it weren't for the men who feel the moral obligation to explain things to women that they already know? I wonder how many times in history a man took credit for a woman's idea, simply because he was too stubborn to believe her in the first place? Did Benjamin Franklin's wife try to teach him about electricity for years before he decided to SHOW HER by taking his kite out in that infamous thunderstorm? Was Isaac Newton really hit in the head by an apple that was thrown at him by a frustrated woman rather than from a falling tree? These are the things that keep me up at night.

Now, I give everyone the benefit of the doubt, or however the saying goes. My mother always told me not to judge a book without reading its content, or it was something about a cover, but essentially she was teaching me not to pass judgement upon people without actually getting to know them and so that was one of the rules I had adopted in regards to dating.

I am happily married to my third husband. Yep, number three. And I am his third too. We had to kiss a lot of toads to find each other. And all those lessons have made our bond stronger.

I was set up by a friend of mine to go on this blind date with this guy she knew through work. At first, I thought, gee, I must be desperate. But then after I thought about it, it would be nice to go out and have a guy treat me to a nice dinner. It had been a while since I went on a date and what could it hurt? I wasn’t looking for true love.

Ashlyn Harper had no idea she was about to embark on the worst date of her life. Considering her dating history, which was quite short as it was, that was saying something. She'd let her friend arrange a blind date, and that made her a little nervous. But really, what else did she have to do with her Valentine's day?

#MyWorstDate He is six years younger than me, and I'm not 30 yet. We met when I visited his store as a trainer, and I thought it was cute the way he ran out to my car, as I was leaving, to get my number. We flirt-texted for a few days and decided later that week to go to the beach. I made it clear I wasn't going to be driving my car, and that he would need to come pick me up. He agreed.

#MyWorstDate It started simply enough. I thought I had scored big, I had asked my crush out, and he said yes. I was ecstatic, overjoyed, I felt on top of the world. It had taken me so long to work up the courage and it was finally happening.
A Friendly Set Up
"Hey! I know this is totally last minute...." This was a typical phone call from my friend, Dan* (names changed to protect the not-so-innocent). He was the kind of person who lived by the seat of his pants, charmed everyone into being his accomplices, and loved to stay up late contemplating life over a drink or two. Therefore, this phone call was no different.

When I was little, I was never naive enough to believe the Disney, rose-colored idea of love; girl meets boy, boy slays dragon for girl, and they sing and dance into the sunset. I grew even further from this idea when I was in high school and realized how much I like girls too. Maybe I would be the one that ended up slaying the dragon. However, I always appreciated the fact the relationships were always healthy, compatible, and loyal. Those were the expectations I always had going into relationships in my adolescence. Eventually, these expectations were worn down. False hopes, broken hearts, cheating, lying, abuse and more followed the love life of a girl too young to know how to deal with it healthily. Two months after my 17th birthday, my heart was broken almost irreparably by a boy who promised me the world and stars in his hand for a year and a half, but instead blew dirt in my face. This was due to the fact he had fallen in love with another girl, the girl he also threw aside once the excitement had faded.

Reading through worst date stories, I’ve found that there are some common themes: “My blind date showed up with far more acne and weight than their Tinder profile let on.”
