I Used To Have a Rule About Dating Guys Who Live In New Jersey

Dating/Single Life, , , ,

The rule was that I wouldn’t do it. Long distance is tough.

But tonight I have a first date with a guy who lives in New Jersey, because, thanks to this guy, the new standard is “Well, as long as he knows he lives in New Jersey….”

It’s bad when your standards start to match your expectations, in the sense that neither one can be recovered without an extensive, all-hands-on-deck, Jurrasic-park-style archaeological dig.

Sometimes I Forget How To Be Normal

Being Awkward/Dumb Stuff I Do, Dating/Single Life, ,

Me: “I have too many Dans in my phone. I’m getting confused. I was labeling them by the dating app, but now there are 2 Dan J-swipes.”

Co-teacher: “Well you went out with one of them. I assume you learned his last name?”

Me: “Yeah, why?”

Co-teacher: “You could put him in your phone with his last name, instead of the dating app.”

Me: “Ohhh. Good idea.”

Co-teacher: “It wasn’t really an idea. It’s just what normal people do.”

Interesting.
