As the girl who completely got blindsided and fooled in the relationship, it takes an amazing group of friends to pick up the pieces. It’s amazing how your self-esteem gets completely crushed going through an experience like this. And the worst part is that I never got an answer as to why someone decided to…
Letter to all my different types of Loves
Each time you jump into a relationship, you think its love. Once you are out of the relationship and with experience, you realize that what you thought was love was either lust or pieces of love. I wish I was one of those people who just had to test out a few guys and found…
To the last one
As they say being someone’s first love is amazing, but to be their last is amazing. Absolutely, I don’t have this idea that marriage and a long lasting relationship will be like a Disney Movie. But I know I still believe in it and that it takes a lot of hard work to stay together…
To everyone else
Honesty is the best policy in my book, but no one wants to be rejected, even nicely. To all the others I dated who may not understand why I let go. I think I have dated enough to last a few lifetimes. I’ve been lucky to always have good dates, but some only make it…
To the man I was in love with and should have let go

I was at a conference at my university and was introduced to P by a friend of a friend. He chatted with me while getting lunch and next thing you know he followed me to the table. I remember thinking I had to run back to work. During those days, I was so busy with…
Bedtime Stories
I was having dinner with my best friend Debbie who has been with me through every painstaking or hilarious date, she actually wants to get my DNA tested. She thinks there is something in there and I agree. And I reiterate, I never do anything, I’m never the prettiest girl, and I don’t even flirt,…

I was scrolling through my newsfeed and a status caught my eye. Status Update: Wanted: Single Male, Ready to be a husband, father, friend… I had to re-read it twice. Wait, was I on Facebook or did I accidently click on an ad? Forget about Match.com and E-harmony, Facebook is the new way to find your…
How Dating is Like Interviewing for a Job?
Idalia and I had our long and overdue catch up conversation the other night. It lasted 5 hours and what I will tell you is that if we did not both have to work on a nice Sunday morning, we would have kept talking. We talk about everything. I love her for so many reasons…
