This is so stinkin true!

19 Things You Should Never Say to a Single Person

A Glamour dating blogger collected of 19 of the most-hated, tired and depressing clichés about being single. Read them, and swear never to use them on any of your single friends. Ever.
By Erin Meanley


As a writer, I avoid clichés like the plague … ha, ha! But seriously, clichés are old, tired, and they show absolutely no thought. I mean, do I make you read that some guy's skin was as white as snow? No. It's a major insult to your intellect. So when I have to hear a cliché or overused saying in the real world, as a response to my newly single status or some other dating dilemma, it's offensive and frustrating.
Why do we have so many sayings and maxims for dating? A single gal is likely to get slammed with them ad nauseam as soon as she expresses any unhappiness at her situation.
Since we could all use a good laugh, I asked some friends and Twitter followers to send in their most hated adages. I know you've heard them all before (obviously), but I just couldn't believe how many there were! Here's a tiny compilation. Enjoy — today, they're not directed at you!
1. It happens when you're not looking."This is just bull. Some people find people when they're looking; some don't. You're not doing anything wrong by going out and meeting people." —Beth
2. There are plenty of fish in the sea."I dated a guy whose last name was Fish. People just had a BLAST with that one." —Kelly
3. So, why are you single?"I generally dislike this question. I mean honestly, if I knew why, I don't think I would be single right now, now would I?!" —Erica
4. You're too picky."This may be true, but it feels like I'm getting criticized for my taste, vision, and close-mindedness — when I'm already down." —Sarah
5. You'll find the right person for you.—Kelly
6. He's out there.—Kelly
7. It was just bad timing."Like it's so easy to dismiss a guy on such an emotionless and objective reason." —Taryn
8. Just have fun with it!"Um, don't tell me how to date in my thirties when you got married at 24." —Maya
9. Have you tried online dating?"Duh!" —Elisa
10. He just wasn't the right guy for you."I know! That's what I'm complaining about!" —Elisa
11. Well, when my boyfriend and I first got together…"Wait, I still want to talk about me." —Elisa
12. When the time is right, you will meet someone.—Betsy
13. Wow, I wish I were single and in your shoes!"Really?! I'm pretty sure you CAN be single if you actually want to be. That there is an attainable dream, so if you aren't messing with me right now out of pity (which I suspect you are), please go for it!" —Kim
14. Your turn next [at weddings].—Natlondon, via Twitter
15. It will happen when you least expect it.—dlegas05, via Twitter
16. Some guy is going to come along and ruin your career/life plans."I am 32 and no one has ruined the last 10 years of plans." —frolicblog, via Twitter
17. But you're so pretty! Why don't you have a boyfriend?"There's just no graceful way to answer that." —earnesteats, via Twitter
18. It just wasn't meant to be."Any of these platitudes are exponentially more annoying when coming from the mouths of smug marrieds." —Reberoodle, via Twitter
19. Sure, my guy rescues kids from abusive homes, donated my sister a kidney, and picks up fresh flowers for me daily on his way home from work, but will he QUIT IT with the sports on TV already?"Single people just hate to be complained to about petty relationship stuff. If you do this, I'm not going to want to hang out with you. (In fact, maybe I'll call your boyfriend and ask him if he wants to grab a beer and watch the Yankees game?)" —Kim
Bottom line, if you're in a relationship or married and you don't have any specific, original advice or wisdom for your single friend—and you must use an established saying — we would prefer to hear neutral ones like, "This too shall pass" or "Take it one day at a time." They are so much more helpful and comforting — you have no idea!
Also of note: not one person I polled mentioned they were tired of hearing, "He's just not that into you." I think that's because it's not condescending. And apparently, it's not overused. So that one is still okay to say. For now.

Best Buy

I need to update my dating life. I mean really update it :) So I'm going to think of my greatest stories that have happened in the last year. A guy came up to me in Best Buy a while ago and asked if I needed any help. I did need help so I asked him thinking that he worked there. After about a minute of talking to him I realized that he was shopping also and was flirting with me. Oh the fun and excitement that could have been had if he had been normal. But alas he was not. He asked me if I would like to go to a bar sometime with him and play some pool. I told him I was dating someone (which was true) as a backed away from him and ducked behind the next aisle. I felt like running out of the store after that. But I just stayed out of his line of sight. Maybe I should have gone out with him.

It's all a bunch of Crap!

So it's back to online "dating" for me, more like online "looking". No offense but looking through the profiles and pictures makes me want to rip my hair out. Why can't there be a button or scroll down tab that gives you the option of
"yes I truly am normal" or
"I'm not hiding anything, I really am a good person" or
"I will not stalk you"
"I will be well worth getting to know"

instead, I swear they all have
"I'm a weirdo and so are you that's why we are both desperate enough to be on here tonight"
"I'm a player and the more dates I can rack up the better my chances of getting lucky"
"I'm miserable and so are you now for writing me and I won't write back"

Dating to me is like getting your impacted wisdom teeth pulled but online dating is like a strange, uncomfortable, annoying habit of sitting in front of the TV every night, alone, with nothing better to do and pulling your own wisdom teeth out without any anesthetic and expecting it to be "fun" and worth the pain. So far it hasn't been worth the pain.

All my dreams are coming true

I'm Sooo Done with it all

My thoughts on love:

Darkness, heart ripped out and stepped on, black holes, dark abyss, cloudy day after cloudy day, after cloudy day, emptiness, loneliness, sadness, helplessness, hopelessness, dreariness, tears, black clothes to show my mourning, no plans, no fun, no hugs, no dates, no life.

Oh the agony, oh the pain, oh the heart wrenching, oh the devastation.







OH YES, I AM FEELING SOOOOO UNLUCKY IN LOVE....

You love her, but she loves him,
and he loves somebody else -
You just can't win.
And so it goes until the day you die.
This thing they call love,
its gonna make you cry.

I've had the blues, the reds and the pinks.
One thing's for sure...

Love stinks
Love stinks...yeah yeah...
Love stinks!
Love stinks! Yeah yeah...
Love Stinks
Love stinks! Yeah yeah...

two by two and side by side
love's gonna find you yes it is
you just can't hide
you'll hear it call
your heart will fall
then love will fly
it's gone that's all!

i don't care puttin a cap on those things
all i can say is...

Love stinks
Love stinks yea yea
Love stinks
Love stinks yea yea
Love stinks
Love stinks yea yea
Love stinks
Love stinks yea yea

I been through diamonds

Dating Mutations

Just thought that this should go on the dating blog. Something is wrong here....

Til further notice

Sorry everyone. My dating life has been pretty, dare I say... Normal the last few months. It's crazy and astonishing I know. So until further notice I have no real doozies for any posts.
Unless of course someone has any they would like to share.
