I Learned That I'm Not A Bumble Or Tinder Girl Because I Still Crave Those 'Meet-Cute' Moments

I do not want a texting type of relationship.

Things about our society today are changing drastically and a big part of that is the improvement of technology and social media.

With the advancements in technology, people are becoming more and more anti-social and it is getting more difficult to meet people worth spending your time with. This has made dating extremely difficult.

I am the type of girl who likes to do things old school, especially when it comes to dating.

In a previous article, I have written: "I Refuse To Meet My Future Husband Online." Which explains why online dating is not for me.

I got to a point in my dating life where I was so fed up with the way I was being treated by the male gender and sick of getting my heart broken by guys with poor intentions, that I decided to go against everything that I believe in and join an online dating app and I decided to use Bumble.

I thought that there had to be at least some good guys out there who will treat me like I deserve to be treated.

Dating is very difficult and takes a lot of time and effort and takes a lot of strength emotionally. I think that is something that everyone can agree on.

It takes hundreds of swipes on these dating apps to find even one person that you think that you could have a connection with. Once you do find someone that you are interested in and you are lucky enough to have a good conversation with them, they usually end up ghosting you within a few days.

All that I have experienced while being on this app is that you will probably get your hopes up.

I am the type of girl who wants to meet my husband in person. I want to have a cute story to tell my children and my grandchildren the crazy cute way that their father and I met. I do not want the answer to be "Oh we met online" YAWN!

I want the type of connection that when you see someone, you are instantly attracted to them and curious to know more about them.

I guess you could stay that the little girl in me is still craving her fairy tale moments.

We get so caught up in what the rest of society is doing and what other people expect of us, that we start to go along with it.

Just because everyone else is downloading dating apps, does not mean that you have to.

Your prince will come at the right time. Do not lose hope and trust that God has a plan for you and will bring you your knight in shining armor at the right time.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
