The Date That Never Was

Can we please be better daters?

Picture this: It's Wednesday night. You're wearing cute old clothes that you can ruin if your date gets messy. You're going to paint a beautiful lighthouse at Painting with a Twist. Your hair looks perfect and you smell like pink beaches.

You're ready to have a great time with a great handsome guy. You've tried it in the past and it didn't work, but now, you think things are different. Now, you're ready to give him and this date your best shot.

Back to reality now, folks!

This date never happened, and I'm starting to think my daydream never even had a chance. A certain, we'll call him Randy O'Bannon, had promised me a cute date night and ultimately played me like a fiddle.

We had agreed on Wednesday night, but we were both also free on Tuesday night. We decided to see each other Tuesday as well as Wednesday. Everything went perfectly.

He was handsome, sweet, kind, funny, and just a Prince Charming. Things were getting hot, romantic, and heavy all at once. Eventually, we ended the evening with a kiss on the lips in his truck just outside my house. He agreed to pick me up for our cute little date the next day at 6:15 P.M. Things were going PERFECT.

Flash forward to me waking up at 5 A.M. on Date Day: *checks phone* My little not so Charming Randy had decided to confess that he was still in love with his ex. He decided that, after our romantic, hot, and heavy evening, he was still in love with someone else.

Doesn't that seem a little fishy? Doesn't Randy sound rather shady? Public Service Announcement: Do not lead anyone on this way just to crush their daydreams six hours later.

Dear Asshats Who Think This Is Okay:

Please wake up and understand that we get if you still have feelings for someone else, but try to let us know BEFORE you get in our pants if that's the case.

No one deserves to be treated like this, and it's time our generation started stepping it up in the romance section instead of just wasting everyone's time like this. It's also rude to come to this conclusion suddenly after you've already sealed the deal.

Just trying to make the world a better place by exposing one asshat move at a time.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
