I am an “expert” on dateships (???) bc I’ve been doing so for 5 yrs now…relationships - not so much. Story to come Thursday.

And it’s a GOOD ONE.

kissies,

Anywho, she told me career-wise I am headed  to success & the projects I am working on are on the right track.

Great.

Then she mentioned the current relationship I was in and said…I don’t see him now as a soul-mate. But I have to tell you -

You have issues from your last relationship that you bring into your current one.

I was like “Wtf is this lady talking about??” Then, when I looked back at some petty arguments I’ve had I realized, why I am so argumentative? Why do the little things bother me? Why am I picking on things that aren’t so important?

Why can’t I just have a normal relationship?

I can blame it on living in the city. On being career-driven. I have no idea. I’m not sure what  I’m doing wrong…

Seriously. I have no IDEA….can anyone chime in pah-lease?

kissies,

Dahlings – please keep sending your dating & style questions to me at amy@midtowngirl.com!

kissies,

Thank you to Stacy from CA for this week’s Ask MG question <3

Dahlings – have you ever had someone criticize your dating preferences?

kissies,

Hi dolls – this week’s dating Q comes from Danielle in Sarasota, FL…

Have you ever dated someone bc you didn’t want to be alone & felt that you were “settling” bc of this reason?

kissies,

Sooo, the other eve I caught an epi of Millionaire Matchmaker. On it was a millionairess poker champion who was looking for true love. Patti set her up on a date w. a potential match and things did not fare well since the millionairess took the lead in planning the date & even bringing her gay husband along for the first half of it.

Anywho, at one point Patti explains to the millionairess that in order to find the right guy she needs to ‘let a man act like a man’ and let him take control of the date, other wise she will never find true love (although Patti is currently single, it doesn’t mean she can’t help others find their potential soul mate & give helpful advice…right?). Then Patti says -

“I would give up my entire business, my entire career to find true love”.

Seeing that Patti has had much success in building her business with the show, books and other media outlets, this statement surprised me.

So I’m just wondering…

How difficult is it to have a successful career & find true love? Do any of you dolls have both or know someone who does? Please share…

kissies,

Hi dolls! This week’s “Ask MG” vid, addresses a dating question from darling reader Abigail in Orange County, CA…

Dahlings –have you ever noticed any “signs” that your partner was cheating?

kissies,

Ok dolls, please check out my 1st “Ask MG” vid below addressing a dating question from darling reader Kevin in Reston, VA.

kissies,

p.s. Next time I promise to speak slooower - LOL!

I’ve been in the dating scene for a while (esp. online dating) and sometimes I think…I know “how” to date. Meaning, I have experienced pretty much the worst/kinda best in the online dating world and think I know what things to do & what things to avoid.

But, sometimes I make mistakes too…

Take for ex. a recent shiteous first date I had. After emailing back & forth w.  a potential match for about a week, he asked me to meet for a drink. An attorney who lives on the UWS, he seemed well versed in various life experiences & travels. But he only had 2 pics in his profile. One that was really good and one that was…well, not so much.

Not a good sign.

Anywho, I figured it couldn’t be that awful (have I not learned this lesson already? for shiz), so I emailed back the day before with a time and he confirmed we were good to go. Bc I have been crazy (but amazingly) busy with great projects related to MG, I never spoke to this guy over the phone.

HA-UGE mistake.

Ugh. Anyway, after running around the city for meetings, I came home, got dressed and headed over to the location he suggested – conveniently located in his hood.

Another mistake.

IMO, a guy should meet you in a location that is centrally located b/w the both of you. Right?

Right.

But, of course, I agreed so I shouldn’t be complaining right?

Wrong.

Wrong because once I got there, said guy was nowhere to be found. So I’m thinking to myself…

Wait, did this douche just stand me up…REALLY?

I ordered a cocktail and decided to wait. After abt 5 mins, I called the guy and it went straight to his vm. I text & no response. Wow. The cute Irish bartender looked at my face and was ready to offer me a shot on the house when someone taps me on the shoulder….

Guy (in a crazy heavy accent & abt 90lbs on a good day): “Hi!”

Me: “Hey.” (wtf)

Guy: “I didn’t know we were still on for tonight?” (really asshole?)

Me: “Well, you sent me a confirm email yesterday, so I figured we were all good.”

Guy: “Good thing I only live a  block away, I ran over here.” (good thing) “I was watching ‘Dancing w. the Stars’ when you called.” (fuck)

Apparently the bar area at the Irish pub he decided to meet at was too “loud” so we end up sitting at a table. He starts chatting about how he works alot and how NYC is sooo congested and how it’s hard to meet people…

Guy: “I find bars to be a very impersonal way of meeting someone. I’m a very family-oriented person. I would love to meet someone and get married. And probably move back to my country.”

I wish I had that shot.

20 mins later & while he’s still  chatting, I’m figuring out a way how to get out of this. I had met him right after work, so I explained to him how I had to go home to walk my dog bc she hadn’t been out since the morning. I think he prob got the point…

Guy: “Oh, ok. Well let’s get the check then.” (let’s)

Guy grabs the check and sits back down. He opens the bill ($17) and lays it out for me to see…

Guy: “Shall we split it?”

Shall we WHAT???

Now, let me explain something. This guy asked ME out for a cocktail. He suggested a place in HIS area. He showed up 15 mins LATE. And now he wants me to split a $17 check?

Price for not learning from past dating experiences: This SHITTY Date.

I pay the $9 bc I don’t need to argue about nonsense plus I never plan on seeing this awesome guy ever again. I head out of the bar like a bat out of hell and think to myself – how could I have avoided this night & why did I have to go through this?

Is it bc I didn’t do what I usually do and decided to be more spontaneous? Sheesh.

kissies,

I knew there was something about HOB that seemed a bit man-whorish.

Thursday early eve I get a text from him…that totes wasn’t meant for moi -

“Hola Anabella!

Puede venir dos horas? Mi apartamento esta vacio porque me cambio del apartamento, pero necesito limpiar el suelo, bano y un poco las paredes…”

Oh ICK.

Check before you text, idiot.

kissies,
