I'm not boring, you just don't have an imagination.

To The Random Dude On Instagram Who Told Me I'm 'The Boring One' In A Relationship
Ilana Mekler

So I had commented on an Instagram post by E! News last week, which was a quote from a tweet that Chrissy Teigen had posted that said, "I haven't dated for a long, long time but are guys really pulling the whole 'let's be exclusive' thing six months into dating, like what, I have been exclusive what the f*ck have you been?" My comment said, "Say it louder for the men in the back who like to waste my time."

Little did I know this comment would get over 4,000 likes and comment after comment from female strangers who decided to show their support and comment their similar feelings on the matter.

Out of all those comments, one was from a man who had said that I'm probably playing games.

Initially, I was a little bit offended, to be honest, but then I had to tell myself that this person doesn't know me nor do I know him and I shouldn't be offended by an ignorant comment from an Instagram troll.

He had sent me a DM and what started off as a civil discussion on the subject turned into me getting fed up and annoyed by his opinion on dating and relationships. He had told me that it's probably my fault that I'm single and that I'm probably the boring one in the relationship because I don't go clubbing or party every weekend. He told me he expects his girlfriend to want to go out with him every weekend. While everyone has their preferences, I told him that he shouldn't expect his girlfriend to be anything but loving and respectful to him.

There's more to life than getting plastered every weekend and staying out until 5 a.m. He didn't really like that comment and had said that we're young and we need to make memories with our significant others as a team and not just go to the movies or Disneyland or dinner. I don't know about you, but going out to dinner, movies, or Disneyland sounds like a really fun time to me. Everyone has their own idea of what's fun to them, but to me, those sound like great options.

Apparently, me liking these activities makes me "old." If I'm old for having an imagination, for having an adventurous side or for being creative, then I must be the coolest "old" person ever.

So, to the Instagram troll, you go enjoy your nights outs. I hope you find a girl who doesn't mind that you have certain standards and expectations that they need to live up to. I also hope your girl doesn't mind that you troll women on Instagram and talk down to them like they mean nothing.

In the meantime, I'll be here, waiting for Mr. Right and when I find him, we will have the best time going to Disney or staying in binge watching our favorite TV show.

Thank you, next.

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.

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.

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.
