7 Truths About Dating Me, The Awkward Girl

I refuse to apologize for doing the hand-jive at the club.

7 Truths About Dating Me, The Awkward Girl
Hollywood

Look, for most of us who are unapologetically awkward, let me just clarify that we didn’t CHOOSE to be this way. God just had a sense of humor and thought to Himself, “Hey, you know what would be comical? If she made everyone uncomfortable and awkward in all social settings.” I see you God, I see you.

There have been times where I wonder to myself, “Why did I make that bad joke? I knew I would be the only one to find it funny, yet I still told it and ended up snorting in front of EVERYONE.”

Or in those super awkward situations when I receive a compliment (hahaha I know, like what??) and instead of accepting the compliment, I just laugh and then make the ugliest face known to man, really highlighting how many chins I can have.

But listen, when it comes to dating the overly awkward girl, there are some perks. Sure, you’ll have to suffer through some uncomfortable encounters, but listen, they aren’t THAT bad. I mean, they could be worse, right?

1. You never have to worry about making a situation uncomfortable or awkward.

Your girl has already got you covered. Rest easy, my friend.

2. A casual trip to the grocery store (or basically anywhere) is always an adventure.

I can guarantee she’ll either start dancing with no music playing or running around the store like a kid.

3. She'll make ugly faces whenever it’s completely unnecessary.

There is no rhyme or reason to why the crossed eyes and strangely contorted facial expressions are happening, but they are, so you better just embrace it. Oh, and weird noises. Can’t forget those.

4. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Bad jokes and terrible puns.

You’ll hear them so much that I can almost promise you that you’ll start saying them too. Can’t stop, won’t stop, am I right?

5. Your idea of flirting is quoting The Office and referencing New Girl as much as possible.

While I appreciate this, because I do it religiously, some don’t get it. But listen, you don’t need the negativity from those people. You do you, boo boo.

6. Going to a party? Your girl is either going to be in the corner eating some food she found in the fridge or food she brought with her.

If it's neither of those, you can bet she's wherever the pet in the house is. People are tough, animals are a breeze because they don't judge the weird stuff you say, they will lick you and love you anyway.

7. Going to the club? She'll probably break out her wicked dance moves like the hand-jive or the sprinkler.

It's gonna get weird, folks.

Maybe you do all of this, maybe you do none of it. Everyone has their own set of awkward tendencies. No matter what they are, embrace them. You’re keeping the world just a bit more interesting, and slightly uncomfortable, but mostly interesting.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
