THEN

When I was a teenager I loved the idea of a living out a romantic comedy. Never Been Kissed was and still is my favorite movie, I just always imagined myself bumping into someone, spilling coffee on them and then spending the rest of our lives together.

I would try and menlipuate situations. I remember this one time I was attending a friends show. They were performing in a community theater production of Seussical the musical. It was a cute show, but what really stood out to me was the young boy who played The Cat in the hat. I fell in love while sitting in that audience. I dreamt up the life we would spend together. I then started following him on Myspace and going to all the local shows he was perfuming in, hoping that he would

He has no idea that I stalked him into being my friend. Also fun fact, He’s gay now! This basically sums up my the dating experience. Me, stalking gay men. 


NOW

I can’t say much has changed. As I sit in a coffee shop a few blocks away from my crushes house hoping I see him walks passed. Yup, I’m still a creep.

I’m still looking for that Never Been Kissed moment. The moment where you meet someone and your live changes. This did happen a few years ago, this may not my now, but I feel it was a big impact on my life. I met a guy on Okcupid, our first date was on Valentines day, super clique. He was the first guy that was aggressive. Usually men are very shy around me and he was so confident, something about made me feel sexy. I quickly in my mind fell in love with the idea of this man.

    The Boys Will Not Like You I remember back in early 2010, when I first began my journey as a debutante I would wear my makeup a little darker than what was okay and dress a little more tomboyish than what was acceptable for a lady presenting herself to society. This upset my mentor, who always dressed nice, always had perfectly fixed hair, and looked as if she walked off the cover of Elle magazine. One day, my mentor uttered the words, “Honey, if you look like that and continue to act un-lady like, the boys will not like you.” “The boys will not like you,” she’d only say that to me and I learned it as, “you are you, the boys will not like you.”…

The conventions of the romantic comedy are tried and true.…

Although my mother gave me a few lessons, I ended up learning about sexuality from dating experiences, older friends, and the media. While growing up, my mother would pull me aside after dinner to teach me from a book called the “Period Book”.…
