Have you ever been on a date with a guy and thought you were really into him only to find out that he's a total lame or an asshole afterwards?
Online dating can be some bullshit, yes. But if the Internet Gawds can make it easier to deal with (meaning more catches and less creeps), then maybe – just maybe – I can dip a toe or two back into the proverbial pool.
Because I think I'm a new and improved Carrie Bradshaw, I started thinking about baseball and dating and tried to form some adorable connection. Well, guess what? I did.
With the exception of a very few, most people tend to regret jumping into something serious too soon.
Ahhhhh, the first date. It can be the start of something great or can easily take a quick turn down the crapper. You may have thought the date went as perfect as can be, but if Mr. Lover Boy hasn’t called you back for another one in over three days, chances are it didn’t.
I know what you're thinking as you approach this new chapter in life. A new place, exciting atmosphere, strangers eager to meet each other, a fresh start with so many new prospects! Game on, right?

Break ups are literally the worst. I don't care if you're the dumper, the dumpee or if it was "mutual." I don't care if you weren't even technically dating. It still counts as a breakup, and it is still the worst.
The thing about me is that I’m easily annoyed. Perhaps that will be my downfall in relationships, but c’mon, there are some things that are just common sense.
If a cursory glance shows that your blue (or green) bubbles outnumber the gray ones to the left, then you might be losing the dating game.
I think I have a small but very real hoarding problem. Like, I'm not going to appear on an episode of Hoarders anytime soon, but I keep things way past their expiration dates.
Women are taught, at a very young age, to step aside and let the big boys play. That mentality creates a dangerous breeding ground for settling, one of major foes of the feminist movement.
Being broke shouldn’t be a reason to resort to a “come over and chill” Netflix night on the couch.
