Perhaps it’s a good thing that I’m finding it harder and harder to come up with things for “The List.”  Maybe that means I’m overall happier.  Or maybe it just means I don’t get out enough… either way behold “The List.”

  1. WordPress.Today specifically.  Instead of taking only a few moments to post “The List” this week, you consumed my day with all your new tricks and treats with this update.  Gracias and get it together.
  2. Reality TV.  Except The Bachelor.  He can stay.  Everyone else? Go home.
  3. People who change their Facebook pictures to sonograms.  That’s just weird and last time I checked, I wasn’t friends with a fetus. 
  4. Mike Catherwood.  I have a bone to pick with you, my friend.  I’m 99.4% certain that is not your real name.
  5. The Sneezee.  This thing can not be real.
  6. Stale marshmallows.
  7. Music videos.  I can’t believe people still make these.  Seems like a whole lot of “buck” without a lot of “bang.”  Besides, where would I even go to watch it?
  8. The hair on my knees.  No matter how diligent I am while shaving, I am always left with a patch reminiscent of a dandelion. 
  9. Charlie Sheen, Charlie Sheen jokes, Charlie Sheen interviews.  It was amusing at first, but now it’s just obnoxious.
  10. Split ends.

Monday Mashup: Oh me, Oh my, Oh Pumpkin Pie.

I can not lie.  I love to watch The Bachelor.  Something about watching fifteen crazy women compete for the love of one (somewhat crazy) man is a recipe for sheer entertainment.  Call me a sociologist, but I love watching human interaction… especially that of the cray cray kind.  I remember thinking that sweet, sweet Emily (a children’s hospital event planner- WTF??!! – from Charlotte, North Carolina) was a force to be reckoned with… until tonight.  I’m not sure what the hell is happening in that bachelorette (hen) house, but something bad happened.  Week by week, the girls get drunker, crazier, and somehow oranger.  Perhaps they should check the vents? Maybe even check where the closest power plant is located cause something ain’t right.  Maybe I need to fix the settings on my TV, but I think Brad may want to invest in some protective radioactive clothing.

It’s the final rose. Who should get it?

Ladies, if you did not receive a rose, please take a moment and say “goodbye.”

Why Did You Date Him: Deciphering the First Date

The holidays are a great time to couple up with someone new. With all the parties and the cold weather, why wouldn’t you want someone to share it with and snuggle up to? Be wary though… it’s about quality not quantity. You can size up most guys by the type of first date they take you on. While some guys are looking for that special someone, others are simply looking for a little bit of booty (by that I mean alotta bit). Here’s a breakdown to help you break it down:

  • Coffee Date: This is a joke. I, myself, have never gone on a coffee date. Probably because if someone asked me on such a ridiculous date, I would immediately block his number. Someone who asks you on a coffee date is one of three things: cheap, a cheating boyfriend/husband, just not that into you.

  • Meet for Drinks: In New York, this is a pretty common date. Probably because the city is full of a bunch of alcoholics looking for the BBD (Bigger Better Deal). This one can mean a few different things- He’s looking to get laid and plying you with alcohol is just the ticket. He’s meeting his girlfriend/wife for dinner. He’s not sure if he likes you yet and this is your interview. If he does, you may get the dinner invite after a couple glasses of pinot.

  • Dinner and a Movie: This is just boring and he’ll probably be bad in bed. (*Note: this only applies to the FIRST date).

  • “Group Date”: This is red alert, mayday, SOS shit. There is a much larger issue at hand if your date needs to have his posse with him. This isn’t an episode of The Bachelor and you’re not Vince from Entourage.

  • “Meet me Out”: This is not a date. Getting hammered on promoter’s vodka and grinding to Usher does not a date make. Period.

  • Romantic Dinner for Two: I don’t mean a stop at In N Out Burger. I mean pulling out all the stops- flowers, romance, picking you up, opening doors, chivalry. If he can commit to a quiet dinner, he can probably commit to a lot more.

  • Something Physical (and I don’t mean in between the sheets): Doing something physical and new is a great way for a new couple to bond. There is a reason they have people skydiving and tight rope walking on all those crazy dating shows. A guy who puts some thought into a date is worth keeping around for a second date.

Hopefully this will help you navigate the single’s scene. Dating is not easy- this I know. Another thing to keep in mind: Under no circumstance should a guy ask you out over text message, Twitter, or Facebook. If he can’t pick up the phone, I can’t be bothered. Happy hunting!
