The United Dates Of Sarah - There's Someone Out There For Everyone? - Blog 13



Before I get into anything, I want to give a shout out to: New Zealand, India, Taiwan, Norway, Germany, Australia, Canada, Israel, the UK and the USA! All of these different countries have read my posts and the viewing numbers keep going up! You guys rock and I hope to visit each and every one of you...and by "you" I mean the countries...not the individual people cuz that would take a while.

Ok, on to a little segment I call...drum roll please...."PEOPLE ARE CRAZY!" I was browsing the inter webs the other day and came across an article...and in this article was the following:

A girl was on Ok Cupid. She viewed a guy's page. She was scrolling, minding her own business, reading what he had to say and then stumbled upon his list of things he does not want in a lady. Now, everyone has a list...but I've never seen one so extensive...







That's a LONG list and I don't blame you if you didn't read every single bullet point but let me highlight some good ones for you..and of course, then I'll have my commentary. 
Don't message me if: 

- "Your career, which you worked very hard for, will vanish, to be replaced by children that you suddenly discovered you always wanted."

     **My Thoughts: I appreciates he likes a successful working woman, HOWEVER, women can both be successful in work and in home life. I know I'm not going to replace my career with children, I will make room for children and the joys that come along...and who's never heard of a woman changing her mind?!? No one! I go back and forth on if I want kids all the time...The future can't be predicted dude and if I just so happen to actually message you because I fit the rest of your crazy requirement, you better take it cuz YOU CRAY! Also kids should be a 2 sided discussion...just saying.

- "You don't wear your bike helmet"

     **My Thoughts: Ummm ok but like all the time or just when riding a bike? 

- "You don't realize that John Lennon was a 'bono level' douche."

     **My Thoughts: Don't ever speak badly about John Lennon....ever

- "You believe there are only a few bad police officers that make the majority look bad, rather than the opposite"

     **My Thoughts: WTF?!? Where does this guy live? We're not in 1920 Chi-Town are we? And even if cops are still corrupt and bad...why is this one of his deal breakers?!? Who even thinks of these things? 

Ok, I'm exhausted from this guy's list. You can read the rest of his points but just brace yourself.

This next story is from someone else who was on my trip...this story is also about someone she met on OkCupid just like the guy above....soooo maybe that's saying something about the site?? I don't know...see for yourself I guess :P

To keep her identity hidden, we'll call her "The Trier"...because she tried to make it work....or at least see if there was chemistry.

Let's call this guy: Mr. Engrossing 

It all started when The Trier went onto OkCupid. She had just moved into a new area and had just gotten dumped so she wanted to see who was around. She was looking at one guy's profile and he messaged her!!! In his charming way, he messaged: 



So eloquent isn't he?

But she messaged him back anyways and they set a date to go out. He "planned" the date and they met at his favorite pizza place which was supposed to close 20 minutes after they got there so they were rushing to eat and talk. When they go to pay...she pays her half 0_o Why you ask?!? I don't know

If a guys asks a girl out...he should pay.
If a girl asks a guys out...she should offer to pay but the guy should still pay on the first date = chivalry
Anyways, so she pays half and they decide to go to a local bar. Being the gentleman that he is, he paid for her one beer! So sweet and romantic right? Maybe....until they start talking about their online dating profiles. He continues to tell her that his main photo is his mugshot. Yep, that's right....she's on a date with a convict. Well, kind of. He just took a  props to him on getting a good enough mug shot to get girls to take notice on his OkCupid profile. 




Oh, not to mention, he kept asking The Trier what she thought his spirit animal was.....

Ok so they decide to leave the bar and take a walk but the handsome convict decided he needed to relieve himself...even though they were just in a place that had a restroom, he thought it was better to just go in the bushes of the park. I mean, why not? 

After he's done with his public indecency, they decide to sit on the bench and talk a little more. He becomes a little forward and says "Can I make out with you?"

Being The Trier she is, she agreed to try for the chemistry...and she described it kinda like this: 




He was eating her face. She called it a Face Attack...which is not exactly what you want to be described as...the Face Attacker. 

Anyways, they finally part ways never to see each other again.

The United Dates Of Sarah - Unplanned Fun - Entry 12





I'mmmmm Back!!!

I've missed you guys :) Well first of all, I have to say that my trip to Israel was fab and I met great people! Unfortunately I didn't "meet" anyone or hook up with anyone BUT a lot of my friends on the trip shared their crazy stories about dating so I'll be inputting some of their stories into the next couple of posts.

So the weekend after I got back from Israel, I went down to San Diego to hang out with some family and friends. I have two great stories about random meets. One in SD and one in LA.

Away we go! 

We'll start with San Diego! Soooo it was a Sunday and the final game of The World Cup...so my sister, brother-in-law and I headed over to North Park where they built a jumbotron outside for thousands of people to come and watch the game.

After baking my butt off sitting in the heat for a couple hours, Germany won and it was time for allll of the people to head out. My sister and I decided to let everyone climb over each other while we just stood in the nearby shade and people watched (one of our favorite pastimes). All of a sudden, this really attractive guy starts walking towards me...and he stops and smiles right in front of me, so I smile back. 

We'll call this guy: Mr. Ballsy...cuz he was

Anyways, so we're smiling at each other and then he says:

Mr. Ballsy: "I know this is probably the worst place to talk to you but...."

Me: "It's ok. What's up"

Mr. Ballsy: "Well, I saw you from across the way and ummm, you're really pretty"

Me: "Aww thank you!!" 

Mr. Ballsy: "Yeah and ummmm......"

**He was so nervous so I decided to just put him out of his misery


Me: "I don't live here though"

Mr. Ballsy: **looking defeated* "What?? Where do you live?"

Me: "LA...I'm sorry but I hope you have a good day"

Mr. Ballsy: "How can I have a good day? First, my team loses and now this! Aww man"

Awww, I felt bad after he walked away but he was a good sport and he understood. Maybe next time!

Onto my next story....About firefighters :)

Yeah...kinda Like this...just before the astronaut comes in:


Sooo the other night I was headed to a mixer after work. My friend and I planned on meeting there but as I parked and got out of my car, I couldn't find her so I was just kind of looking around, standing next to my car. All of a sudden, I notice this guy just sitting on his chair out on the sidewalk. 

As I start to walk closer to him, because I needed to get to the crosswalk, I notice he's a firefighter and there's a random fire station right there.

He asked me if I was lost and I told him no but I was looking for my friend. 

We got to talking and then he said,

Firefighter: "Well after your mixer, you and your friend should come back and take a tour"

Me: "Definitely"

So after the mixer, my friend and I head back to the fire station. We got a tour, saw the fire poles (no we didn't dance on them), played handball with the guys, and TOOK A RIDE ON THE FIRE TRUCK!  Yep, it was the works guys...They buckled us up, put on the headphones, and turned on the lights. 

A night that was supposed to be alright, turned out to be great! We were invited back anytime soooo there's that ;)

Hollar to all the firefighters out there <3

Onto a different story that a guy on my trip told me about.

We'll call him Savior because in Israel, he was my savior...He caught and released a cockroach that was in my room...yeah gross!

He was supposed to go with a group of friends to the movies to meet a girl he liked but all of his friends flaked. No one showed up except for the girl he liked and some of her friends...which would seem cool until he tried to hug her. As soon as he went up to her with arms out, an old woman stepped in between him and the girl...

He was a little confused but as she introduces herself, he realizes it's her grandmother!!! 

She looked him up and down. Savior decided to high five this girl instead of going in for the hug.

As they entered the theater, with the grandmother and her friends, the girl starts going to a row with people already sitting in it...YEP! You guessed it! It's the rest of her family!!!

He couldn't even sit next to the girl of his dreams because in between him and her was a grandmother, friends and her dad...He actually ended up sitting next to grandma...How romantic!
