A Single Girl's Thoughts During "90 Day Fiance" On TLC

My quest for love is an adventure, but that means nothing when 90 Day Finace comes on.

A Single Girl's Thoughts During "90 Day Fiance" On TLC
TLC

The season four premiere of 90 Day Fiance on TLC just began, and it looks like it's going to be a saucy season.

If you're not familiar with the show, let me get you up to speed: There are Americans who find love overseas on vacation, through friends, through their universities, online, etc. These people get engaged to their foreign lover (usually very quickly) and begin the K-1 Visa process. This means the couple has 90 days to get married once the partner from overseas gets to the U.S., or else they must go back to their home country.

I was sucked in to this show during a marathon leading up to the new season. By sucked in, I mean my dog and I were laying on the couch eating popcorn, Pringles, and Nutella like Lady and the Tramp for eight hours, and I was tempted to call in sick to work.

Exhibit A:

It's crystal clear I'm single, and here are the thoughts running through my head every time I watch or think about 90 Day Fiance:

1. I am too American for a foreign guy.

I love fried chicken, Fourth of July, Starbucks, ranch dressing, line dances, and my mama so much. A foreign fiance would not be able to handle all of this.

2. But the thought of letting loose, being spontaneous, and snagging a Swahili sweetie is tempting.

Life is too short to not be spontaneous, right?

3. How did some of these people on the show attract total babes?!

Oh wait...9.9 times out of 10, there is a 40 year age difference or something super sketchy happening in these cases. (And by sketchy cases, I'm looking at you Danielle and Mohamed. Fun fact for my Buckeye crowd: Danielle is from Sandusky, OH.)

4. *It* always hits the fan with these couples after the first few days of living with each other! Good thing I live with me, myself and I.

Seriously, the honeymoon phase ends for everyone, and it's not pretty. If a man--Team USA or nah--thinks your post-Taco Bell fart sesh or Wine Wednesday is wrong, he isn't right for you, girl.

5. The men these women find could be strippers at MY bachelorette party by all means.

No explanation needed. The pictures above say it all. (Looking at you Alexei from Season 3, Azan from Season 4, and Pedro from Season 4. Pour some sugar on me. Just kidding! You're married or engaged. Do not pour anything on me.)

My closing, and not-so-mean thoughts:

Love is love. The only people who know whether or not a relationship will work are the people in it. This goes for anyone. Don't be starstruck by someone just because they are good looking or have a lot of money. It's okay to be skeptical. Someone who loves you should just say "challenge accepted" to your skepticism. Let your family and friends cut to the chase and meet the hottie who gets the opportunity to date you. Listen to them. They love you enough to call the crap, and most of the time, unfortunately, they are right.

Best of luck, love birds. Now excuse me while I continue to Lady and the Tramp snacks with my dog during 90 Day Fiance.

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.
