Stream of Consciousness

Welcome to the controversial life of a female player. These are my confidential confessions.

This blog is a stream of consciousness. Once my hands hit the keyboard, they do not stop typing until I am done writing. So if I get distracted, I will include those distracting thoughts or end the post abruptly.

Given its nature, I will not correct any typos I find later.

Everyone's Dating Everyone

It seems that you can't swing your right fist without hitting a tinder douchebag that has already asked out yourself and two of your closest friends. I know I used to be one of those people, but I'm so sick of it. Everyone dating everyone. Commitment as antiquated as Nintendo 64 or the home phone line. Your next date a right swipe away.

Is this modern love?

No, this is modern bullshit.

Dating today is bullshit. It completely favours guys. You're not allowed to ask for commitment; you're not supposed to ask for exclusivity and you definitely don't want to look like you care. This is not a deal most girls would choose to sign up for. We do get emotional, attached. We do care. We do want some level of commitment.

I know I'm technically being hypocritical. I'm the tinder girl you went out with yesterday, that has a date with someone else tonight. And to be fair, I'm not looking for a long-term commitment. But I don't want this. I want someone to commit to the now with me. Why can't we do that for each other? Really pay attention to the person in front of you. Invest a little something. Wait a day for a text instead of swiping again. Go on a few dates without going on a date w/ a newbie in between. It makes me sort of sad to see everyone around me going on a first, or second, date all the time. It's just sort of sad, you know?
