Foreword
“You’re going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it’s always their actions you should judge them by. It’s actions, not words, that matter.”
- Nicholas Sparks
To the Person Who Dates Me Next,
I’m not just in this thing for the hookup. In fact the only reason hooking up with you crosses my mind, is because I’m thinking of ways to politely reject you, if you try to make that move too soon.
I take things slow…Like really slow. The only reason I have unrealistic standards and expectations is because some people in my past have met them and set the bar unbelievably high. I don’t plan on lowering that. I’m a girl of my word. I won’t ever say something because it sounds nice. Words are just that, something anyone can string together and sound nice. But actions speak at a louder volume than any word can. So get the flowers ready, open my door and pay the bill (Nah, I pay for what I order, always).
So if you’re looking for a hookup and some one-night stand, I wish you luck with that. But you won’t get that with me.
I’m not ashamed to admit that. So if you are not up for the challenge or ready to take a trip down the road to an old fashion relationship, kindly move on. But if we do go out, I hope you’re ready to knock me off my feet, in a way you’ve probably never done before. I date the right way. I date the way we are supposed to. In a world that defines dating by this “Netflix and Chill” thing, that’s a standard I laugh at. In a generation that swipes left and right and glorifies immediate gratification, I know the best things in life take time to build up. In a generation that fears the word date or relationship, I say loudly, for those who have silenced its meaning. I’m not part of the equation that conforms to this societal norms of this weird generation, that doesn’t even know what a date is.
I’m the relationship type.
