Unfair

When I told my date last night that I am going to Florida in February, he immediately jumped to the conclusion that my parents have a second home there. He literally just assumed that because I am a Jewish girl from the east coast, my family MUST have a house in Florida. And that really pissed me off.

Because why DON’T we have a house in Florida, Mom and Dad?

My Mom Has the Utmost Confidence in Me

My mom is in town for the week, and last night the whole family got together for dinner:

Mom: “What are your plans tomorrow?”
Me: “I have a date. A first date.”
Brother-in-law: “Where are you going?”
Me: “I forgot the name. It’s a place I’ve never been to before.”
Brother-in-law: “You should try this place The Jeffrey. They have really good drinks. I think it’s expensive though, so maybe save it for a 3rd date.”
Mom: “Yeah, if she makes it that far.”

This Defensive Guy

After several emails back and forth with this guy from JDate (as a reminder, the J in JDate stands for “Jewish”– what’s that? Everyone knows this? Yeah well that’s what I thought too), he asks me out and we make a plan:

Oh, ok. Thanks for the power-point-presentation-turned-blow-off, weirdo.

will have an awesome week.

Always Be Honest With Your Dating App

The dating site “Coffee Meets Bagel” just sent me my daily match. For those of you who don’t know how this dating site works (which likely means you are in a happy, committed relationship, and have been for a while, so go fuck yourself (keep reading my blog, though)), every day the app sends you a “bagel” (aka, a “match”) and you decide if you are going to “like” or “pass.”

After you “like” your bagel (yup, this is a phrase I say with a straight face these days) the app will ask you WHY you liked him, in what I assume is an attempt to gather more information abut “your type,” in order to send you more accurate matches each day.

Unfortunately, none of the choices provided matched my true reason for “liking” today’s bagel, so I had to provide my own response at the bottom.

I can’t wait to see who I get tomorrow, as honesty never backfires.
