How (not) to get over your crush: compare him to every man on your dating app... Chloe is on the wrong side of her quarter-life crisis. Dead-end job, lease ending, and single af. It’s made all the harder by knowing exactly who the perfect man for her is: her super hot, incredibly kind, and extremely taken friend Austin. What’s a girl to do but drown her troubles in pinot and let her bestie open her an account on a dating app? If there are other perfect men out there, she’s determined to find them. Her ensuing series of boyfriends spark several revelations for Chloe:  Never date a man with step-mommy issues. Always ask about criminal records on the first date. Swimsuits were never intended to be made from leather. Maybe perfection is as overrated as her new app.  For every hopeless romantic looking for a roadmap to a happy ending, Dating Season is a laugh-out-loud novella series that doesn’t pull punches or close doors.

Is This a Date?

We've all probably been there at one point or another…

You and your friend are returning from a nice Friday night, just hangin’ out. You’re innocently driving back home (from the coffee shop, movies, or dinner, perhaps), laughing about the evening, when that annoying little question creeps up in the back of your mind:

  “Was that a date??”

  You quickly dismiss that silly idea. Of course it wasn't a date, you’re just friends…. But he did say that I looked pretty… and he did pay for me… and what was up with that awkward goodbye car hug at the end?

  Ah, the torture of our dating culture. You get the picture.

  Maybe I am alone in this, but I am not a fan of this idea of “hanging out” or “talking” thing that is often occurring before dating. It’s like we now need to pre-date people, in order to see if they are good enough, or perhaps less-likely to reject us, to qualify for that first date. I mean, is it so scary, or expensive, to ask a girl you are interested to go get coffee (and yes, you are paying for that $2.50 cup o’ joe), with the communicated intention to get to know her better? You might see from my sarcastic language that I think it is not.

  I think that dating should be (or once was?) a time period where two people tested the waters to see if they were compatible, interested, and attracted to one another to “go steady” or be in a serious relationship. If not, no big whoop. If so, you move on to level two. I do not understand why we need another stage before this.

  I have to wonder what is happening to our generation (and perhaps we don’t have to look farther than media and pop culture to get a glimpse) that we are so cautious to just date. I find it almost offensive and cheapening to myself (and women as a whole) that getting to know a wonderful lady over a date might not be worth the risk, expenses, and the intentions of a real date. Honestly, I do not think it’s that much to ask. In a world of facebook, texting, and Snapchat, I am concerned that we are becoming a generation that will be known for being an indecisive people, waiting for the cheaper, more instant-gratification options in life.

  I would love to see more men stepping up and just asking women on dates. Men: if you would like us to wait patiently and let you be the man in this step, do it. Make your intentions clear, including if they are casual, unsure intentions. That’s okay… in case you haven’t heard, women appreciate communication. And pay; treat the women you date with value and respect. At the very least you will have gotten to know a few people better for it, understand your desires for a relationship better, and maybe even gained some confidence.

  So go buy some new deodorant… Dating Season begins February 15th!
