    #Foreveralone

    There are 102 million people aged 18 and older who are single, and some 33 million single people living alone, according to the U.S. census. There’s no word on how many of those 102 million people who suffer from anuptaphobia, but I’m not one of them.

    Is Courtship Dead?

    Traditional courtship — you know, picking up the phone, asking someone out and getting to know them — is all but dead. Gone are the days when budding couples planned early in the week what they might do Saturday night.

    Kimmie on the Prowl: Egg Hunt

    Our own pockets and shirts were filled to the brim. After we were satisfied with the amount of eggs, my OCD kicked in and turned the hunt into a numbers game. We clearly had sufficient eggs, but I became obsessed with finding more for the sake of complete egg domination.

    Seeking the Perfect Woman

    If a guy has it set in his mind he wants a specific looking woman, then as he’s browsing an app or a website, he’s going to mostly seek out women who look similar to his thoughts. So we’re treating our dating life like an online clothing store, basically.

    Unpleasant Trends in Modern Romance

    To put it simply, the whole process makes me quite melancholy. There’s little romance in dating, when it’s situations such as those. Perhaps what’s worse than dating itself, is the methods that I have seen people use to attract others.

    Kimmie on the Prowl: Just Add Another “Dis"Order Onto the Pile

    Romantic relationships are frowned upon at the treatment center. Okay, what I mean is that they aren’t allowed among clients. Rule-stickler that I am, coupled with not wanting to date a whackadoo like myself, I find this an easy rule to follow.

    The Text Lesson

    The best thing to come out of this situation?  I will never give out my number to people to avoid social awkwardness EVER AGAIN.  Thank you, M, of making me realize what happens next is always far worse.

    How to Date Yourself

    Most of us just sort of glide through our lives, learning much more about the people around us than what lies within us. But when it comes to dating, the number one rule (at least in my book) is “know thyself.”

    Kimmie on the Prowl: Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy

    This week in treatment I had the opportunity to participate in Equine Therapy. A first for me and I was excited for the chance to go off site and play with horses. With any luck we’d get to horseback ride at the end and I’d meet a hot cowboy.

    Kimmie on the Prowl: Highs and Lows

    For the years I wondered if there was something wrong or different with me but never had any satisfying answers. I highly encourage anyone who feels that way to seek medical attention. And don’t stop if you don’t agree with medical opinion.
