Men are the Worst

I feel utterly alone the last few months. More often than not I have a pit in the bottom of my stomach, an aching to find my partner,. The more time passes by, the more I wonder if it will ever happen. Everyone around me is getting engaged or married. I can’t relate to a lot of my friends anymore. I fear that the blatant awareness of my singledom lately is driving an attraction towards men that otherwise would not be good for me.

The last few weeks have turned me even more bitter towards dating.  The Polo Player’s shitty date this afternoon was just the icing on the cake of a week of depressing and frustrating interactions and revelations.


Curiosity got the best of me, and I went online the other day to find out that BSH is officially back with the ex, Mermaid. He’s a piece of shit, and I know this. I also know that I don’t want to be with him and I’m not at all jealous of their dysfunctional relationship. But seeing a picture of them together with his hand on her thigh just sent waves of rage rushing through my body. The more I thought about him the more it made me upset. Not because they’re together, but because it’s becoming more evident that perhaps he actually cheated on me.


About two weeks ago I ran in to The Cardiologist outside church. I said hi to him, and we proceeded to talk on the street corner for about 20 minutes. He told me he was really surprised and disappointed things didn’t work out between us. He said he’d changed and is more laid back, and that he blew it. He has just gradated from Med School that day, and was leaving the next day for a trip to Europe for about a month. I casually asked who he was going with and he replied his family. He asked if he could take me out when he got back, and I hesitantly said yes (why? because I am making bad decisions about dating right now. Remember I mentioned this above?!) A week goes by and pictures of his travels begin popping up on Facebook. Pictures of him with a girl. A girl with whom he is posing and hugging. A little more Facebook stalking would indicate they are dating, based on the dinner date pictures together, her attending his graduation, and so on and so forth. The jerk had the nerve to ask me out the night before he left for vacation with a girl he is dating. Lovely.


I also joined Tinder for a bit of en experiment recently. I’m really hesitant with the idea of meeting up with someone from this notorious hook up site. But I began talking to a guy for a few days who I considered meeting up with after we chatted on the phone. He sounded sweet and genuine. He made it clear he was looking for something serious. So what the heck, it had been a while since my last real date, I agreed to meet him Saturday night for dinner. On the way out the door, I texted him to let him know I was leaving and I’d be to out destination in 45 minutes or so. And this is where things got weird.

This jerk put on his profile he wasn’t looking to hook up. But as I was quite literally driving to our date, he texted me by accident, instead of the girl with whom he is exchanging skanky pictures. He was busted red handed and had no response. I had to turn the car around and drive back home.

Men are the worst.
