The Date That Never Was

Can we please be better daters?

Picture this: It's Wednesday night. You're wearing cute old clothes that you can ruin if your date gets messy. You're going to paint a beautiful lighthouse at Painting with a Twist. Your hair looks perfect and you smell like pink beaches.

You're ready to have a great time with a great handsome guy. You've tried it in the past and it didn't work, but now, you think things are different. Now, you're ready to give him and this date your best shot.

Back to reality now, folks!

This date never happened, and I'm starting to think my daydream never even had a chance. A certain, we'll call him Randy O'Bannon, had promised me a cute date night and ultimately played me like a fiddle.

We had agreed on Wednesday night, but we were both also free on Tuesday night. We decided to see each other Tuesday as well as Wednesday. Everything went perfectly.

He was handsome, sweet, kind, funny, and just a Prince Charming. Things were getting hot, romantic, and heavy all at once. Eventually, we ended the evening with a kiss on the lips in his truck just outside my house. He agreed to pick me up for our cute little date the next day at 6:15 P.M. Things were going PERFECT.

Flash forward to me waking up at 5 A.M. on Date Day: *checks phone* My little not so Charming Randy had decided to confess that he was still in love with his ex. He decided that, after our romantic, hot, and heavy evening, he was still in love with someone else.

Doesn't that seem a little fishy? Doesn't Randy sound rather shady? Public Service Announcement: Do not lead anyone on this way just to crush their daydreams six hours later.

Dear Asshats Who Think This Is Okay:

Please wake up and understand that we get if you still have feelings for someone else, but try to let us know BEFORE you get in our pants if that's the case.

No one deserves to be treated like this, and it's time our generation started stepping it up in the romance section instead of just wasting everyone's time like this. It's also rude to come to this conclusion suddenly after you've already sealed the deal.

Just trying to make the world a better place by exposing one asshat move at a time.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
