Love is blind, thank God I'm not

When blind dates go bad, And I mean very bad.

I'm beginning to think that blind dates are becoming a ritual for single women who are just a little tired of all the weirdos we've already met. You are on the look out, but there isn't anyone interesting in sight. So you let go of you inhibitions and say wtf may be I am a bit too uptight and may be destiny wants it this way. So when your friend suggests you meet this guys she knows who's a really good catch and has this in common with you, you say with some hesitance, "well, okay".

Now here's the part of live to change and make it sound like it's not any less than a movie worthy story. But no, I'm sticking to what really happens. You see a picture, wonder why he has sunglasses on in the Monsoon, think okay  seems successful and honest, at least worth a meet. So you agree, set a date and time, dress up with the perfect mix of casual and interesting yet not desperate, and head only half an hour late to the café.

You reach , only to recieve a call from that Mr X confirming where to meet. You glance at him thinking dam his Photoshop skills must be good, he's really ugly in real life. With the first few minutes of polite smiles and exchanging courtesies, your brain lists all the reasons, in a cold I knew it fashion, you shouldn't be doing this. These are mine:

1) you're better than this
2) OMG really! That shirt😒
3) she didn't tell me he stammers
4) Wow that's some deep conversation. This guy is super serious.
5) okay why hasn't my BFF called yet
6) Hmmm this guys out on a limb. I should at least be nice and not walk away. Dam I hate how polite I am.
7) Can't believe Batman is his topic of conversion!
8) That's it no main course I'm outta here.

You fake an excuse and leave in the politest way possible hoping that another no only brings you closer to yes, the ONE!

It doesn't take too long to judge someone, particularly to know if you're gonna be comfortable with someone or not. So go with your gut. If it's only apprehension, it's worth waiting it out. But otherwise, when you gotta go you gotta go.

Things to do when you have a bad day

We've all had those. Sometimes is because something someone said or did and sometimes it's because the Universe decided to have some fun at your cost and everything just goes wrong. No matter what you did. If today was one of them here's what you should do; 1) Play a happy song on loop. If happy is annoying, play Daniel posters Bad day or Ed Sheeran's Thinking out Loud it's healing or relaxing at least. 2) Have some chocolate. And by some I don't mean a whole bar. but a little does help you feel better. 3) Talk about it. To anyone or at least write it down on a piece of paper. 4) Run. Go jogging or running or even a long walk will help relax and clear your thoughts. 5) Sleep. Know that tomorrow will take care of itself so just sleep. 6) Pray. God loves you let him know you need him. 7) Try and think of one positive thought and remember that it's okay tomorrow will be better.

Boss Management

Well, only a few know this but it's a fact. You manage your boss as much as he manages your work! Your interaction and approaches will take you a long way not only for appraisal , but even in the broader sense of your life goals. You must ensure that you tried on the path you choose and not merely wander aimlessly (while it's not a bad idea) be careful not to be pushed on to paths leading nowhere! Will share a few thoughts in a few hours!

The lying cheat who said he truly loved me

The deeper into your twenties you get the more you worry about how some dreams may never come true. Your metabolism decreases and you get fatter and with each kilo you pile on you begin to wonder if gravity is the only thing that's slowing you down? Everyone around you is getting married, having their second child and you're wading through the day. You begin to wonder where you're headed and figure d the first solution out. To me this meant online dating! Yea my life had come to this, what I hoped would never happen to me. I get introduced to Bachelor number 24, he doesn't look like my type but since my type isn't showing up I decide to lower expectations and give it a shot. It gets better, he seems nice. It's like he knows what I'm thinking and he know exactly what to say. After having ditched a rather clingy man, the space that long-distance provides seems refreshing. You doubt everything. You begin to wonder if he's the frog who will soon be the pr...
