Hi, I’m CJ.

There’s no better way to say it than in this way:

Dating sucks.

High school sweethearts, handwritten love notes, courtships, and the vigilant pursuit of love… it has all been trashed and compacted into a tiny block known as the computer (or your friendly iPhone). Online dating dominates the social world of those seeking love, and I’m smack in the middle of it. My last serious relationship was a few years ago, and I’ve been flitting between guys ever since. I haven’t been crazy about anyone in a while, and I feel like I’m spending a lot of my energy just trying to fight off creepy ass men rather than sitting and enjoying the wooing of decent gentlemen. I haven’t lost hope in a good, pure love that I’ll find with one man who’s out there somewhere, but for now… why don’t you live vicariously through my misadventures?

This blog is a good excuse to keep record of the ridiculous guys I’ve encountered, as well as the lessons I’ve had to learn. All in all, it makes me feel better to say that I’m fighting through a sea of crawfish to find my Lobster.

Until then, whiskey helps.
