15 Ways To Meet A Guy Other Than Downloading The Infamous Tinder

OK, maybe I'm being dramatic.

I'm sure Tinder doesn't actually ruin lives; I have a friend in a happy relationship with a guy that she met on Tinder (Wow... that's what I said). BUT, I've definitely heard some horror stories from this app. I mean, come on ladies, we are queens and we deserve to be treated that way.

If Tinder is for you, GREAT, but if not, I promise, there are many other, more efficient ways to meet a guy... like "accidentally" bumping into him on your way to class.

FULL WARNING: This is a girl who has never been in a relationship lasting longer than 2 months giving you advice on how to meet a guy... take it at your own risk.

Your local coffee shop.

Okay, I'm old school. So, I've always said it I would meet my future husband in a coffee shop. Granted... that never worked out the best in high-school.

@my friends, y'all know what I'm talking about.

The checkout line at the grocery store.

I mean, who knows. Maybe you'll run into a Justin?

On your college campus.

Okay, but in all honesty, this is a lot more rare than the movies make it out to be. BUT, maybe you'll run into a guy who hates morning classes just as much as you do.

In class.

Maybe your Aaron Samuels is sitting right in front of you, right now.

Literally any other Social Media.

What happened to the good ol', "let me slide in your DMs?" That is a thing, right? I genuinely don't know.

Your favorite bands concert.

At least you'll know y'all have the same taste in music. I mean, what's more important than that?

At a red light.

Fun Fact: I've made a friend at a red light before.

At the bar.

My man Ed Sheeran knows what I'm talking about.

Walking your dog.

Dogs are ALWAYS a good convo starter.

Your next door neighbors attractive nephew.

Realistic? No. Possible? Yes.

At your favorite department store.

Grab ya girl friends and go shop for a boyfriend.

At your job.

If you're REALLY lucky, maybe you'll even meet you're very own Jim. I'm still looking for a Jim.

At the New Years party you didn't actually want to go to.

I promise ladies, we can have a High School Musical moment, too! Or maybe you're random midnight kiss will lead to a future relationship?

Are midnight kisses even still a thing? I wouldn't know.

A friend of a friend of a friend of your brothers.

It's possible, right? Unfortunately, I doubt they will be a Zac Efron.

A friend of a friend of a friend of your sisters.

Come on ladies, have some hope! It has to be better than Tinder!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
