Date: 1, Me: 0

OK
So I met this guy on an online dating website. I was texting him on and off for a week or so and finally decided to meet him.
I chose a restaurant that I was familiar with, and knew almost everyone who worked there. I was scared but thought I would be safe.
So the guy was ok looking. I was disappointed though because he didn't look like his pictures. I decided to just get down to drinking!!
Turns out he lied about almost everything: job, house, LIFE.
He lived at home with his parents, and had some lame associates degree.
THEN
I needed to go home it was a weeknight after all, and I had to work the next day at 5 am. At 10:30 when I said ok I'm heading out he got all bitchy. Then he handed me the check. I offered to split it. Ass.
Anyways, lame face me decided to go out with him again like 2 weeks later. Mostly because I was sad and lonely, and had a few glasses of wine. He picked me up (which was a really bad idea) and we went to the same restaurant.
He seriously told me the same 3 ridiculous stories that he told me on the last date. As I got drunker and drunker, I kept getting up from the table and traveling around the bar socializing with everyone but him lol. You think I'm a bitch now...just wait a few sentences.
After like 4 hours of binge drinking, I saw an old friend's older brother. I started talking to him and told him way too much information about how much my date was sucking. Anyways I had the bright idea of this new boy giving me a ride home. My date was in no hurry to leave. He really thought we were having a great time. I wasn't at the table more than a total of 30 minutes. He just could not get the clue.
Normally I would have just told him flat out that I wasn't interested and I was sorry for leading him on blah blah blah...but I was wasted.
I thought I could just sneak away and have the other guy drive me home. HUGE MISTAKE.
I really didn't think this over at all. We had been sitting on an outdoor patio at the time so I needed to be ninja like a sneak into the guys car without my date seeing me. As I rounded the corner to get into my new ride, we stopped at a motorcycle. I was thinking 'wtf I can't leave on this he'll see me and I'll be a huge bitch'
BUT
What did I do?
I got on. Held on for dear life...this was my first ride on a bike...and waved at my date as we rode by. The look on his face made me laugh.
I'm a bitch.
But that's what you get for sucking.

Online Dating!

So I feel like I have been thrown into the dating world. I never really had the chance to go out with my girlfriends and meet guys at bars, clubs, etc. And by bars, and clubs, I mean the stretch of road that contains matrix all the way down to the south side. lol
I think finding dates at these kinds of places is totally appropriate when you are 22 but even though its only 2 years later I feel like I'm too old for clubs, and especially Thursday night 50 cent drinks at matrix!

After I broke up with my college boyfriend, I immediately began dating a boy way older than me. He was much like an old man. But at the same time he was immature and lazy. He lived with his parents and lived for the weekends when he got to go drinking with his buddies. So for those two years I gained a little more bar experience but it was usually just me drinking while he hung out or talked to EVERYONE ELSE in the place. So I guess you could say I gained DRINKING experience. My fault I know.

So eventually he turned into a lazy typical Pittsburger, so I thought. He spent most of his life playing PlayStation, drinking miller lite, and getting chubby. We rarely had sex , and he didn't even buy me a birthday present. He did the lazy guy thing and ignored me until I ended it. Sigh.

SO YAY
I'm single. I was excited at first. I have my own place, a fun job for now and good friends. Well sadly I realized I spent so much time with my last boyfriend that I lost touch with most of my girlfriends. They had all moved on, some had babies, some moved away, and some got married. I deserved it. Friendship is important. And I'm working on putting those friendships back together. Those girls deserve a good friend!

I decided I didn't want to get into a serious relationship for a long time after this last break up. So I started slowly. But it wasn't like before. Guys don't just walk up to me anymore. I guess I got old? lol. Maybe.

But the whole slowly deal didn't work out and I got horny and lonely. DUH. I'm a woman. I need sex just as much as anyone else. So I tried ONLINE DATING!
More on those dates next time lol.

First time single girl :(

So if you are 18-35 and single in the wonderful world of Pittsburgh, PA you know how much dating blows. I hear every once in a while a stat that says pgh has a very old population, more woman than men, etc...I'm hoping its true otherwise its my fault for sucking so much.

When I went to college here in pgh, I began dating my first serious boyfriend my sophomore year, which is typical for most Pittsburgh girls. I thought I was right on track! We would date until we graduated and then get married, get our typical jobs and have a family by 25.
BOY was I wrong.
As I look back right now at 24 I'm happy for the experiences I have had so far, and VERY HAPPY that I wasn't able to settle into that little life. I'm learning. This is the first time in 5 years that I have been single. Last time I was single I was in high school. I feel like I have been thrown into a harsh, cruel world of one night stands, unanswered texts, miller light, and lies.
These past 6 months have been a roller coaster of emotions. I hope soon I will be able to find my single self, and become a happy, proud, stable single woman in PITTSBURGH. (And maybe find a nice man lol.)
