Bumble

So today I signed up for Bumble.  I'm talking to a girl currently.  Already my very first impression of the app is...

There's no comparison.  The girls on Bumble are like 10 times the quality of OKCupid.  Like... Not even close.

And they don't have that angry tinge to their messages like OKCupid girls have because...

Guys can't message the girls.  Problem solved.  ALL of the dating sites will probably eventually change to this business model.

Girls message first.

Probably after Hillary Clinton wins the Whitehouse.  I mean, come on.  You KNOW it's going to happen.  Trump all you want... But...

Women out number men 2 to 1 in this country.  If the guys saying is... Bros before Hos...

What do you think the women vote is going to be?  This election will be a "Ladies night out tonight".  And you know how ladies are with sticking with one another before the men.

Bumble.

Women CEOs are on a rise.

Companies that HAVE WOMEN CEOs are generally run better than male CEOs.

I'm not going to cite my sources because... It's my blog and I'll write whatever the heck I want to write.

Whatever.

Bumble.

So... Yeah.  I signed up for that shiz in hopes of meeting the girl of my dreams... AKA the 100 day God challenge.  While I haven't yet met the girl of my dreams and gotten down on one knee and proposed to a girl I did have a pleasurable experience signing up for the app and then swiping and getting my first message.  To be honest?  She's not really my type.  I'll keep messaging her though because... Have to keep an open mind.  The girl I marry may not be my type at all.

I downloaded the app right after work.  It wasn't long before I had to stop using the app and head out.  I had to leave to head out to a fundraiser charity event for one of my coworkers.  They do this every year.  It's a charity event for raising money for children with childhood diseases.

Total success.  Lots of friends there from my work.  We basically closed down the joint.

I'm sure love will be great... like true mutual love.... Know you are going to marry that person type of love... and I can't wait for it... whoever the heck she is.

But sitting around a table shooting the shit with old friends is probably just as good... maybe even  better. Again, I have no idea since I've only ever wanted a girl that didn't want me, or had her want me but I'm not feeling it and never had the whole mutual love thing where we end up deciding we want to tie the knot.... I've got 99 days left until that happens...

That is... If God is up for the challenge.  If it doesn't... I don't know, I really feel like I'll probably stop believing in any sort of higher power.  I'll just be like... Whatever.  You couldn't be bothered to help me with ONE thing.  SO... I'm done giving you the time of day.

My sister is all super baptist and was trying to convince me about how much God cares about me.  I'm just like... Hey... All talk and no action.  I want some action.  If you're all high and mighty up there in the clouds... It would be CAKE to line up the world so that I cross paths with a girl.  Really it's not too much to ask for.

99 days before I'm just like over it and write the G-dude off forever.  Whatever.  I tried man.  I tried.  I tried SOOO hard to believe you were real.

But... I'm still single.  Here I am... so... you have 99 days left.

Now I WILL say that tonight was an attempt.  And I'll applaud the God attempt.  But it wasn't love.  Through a random string of events I ended up standing next to this girl named Sue and we started chatting.  Then we ended up heading towards the prop table/photo booth and taking some selfies with some props.  Yes... I PROBABLY could have asked her for a number or something like that...

She wasn't my type.  I know, I just said to give people that aren't my type a try... But sometimes the heart knows what it wants and doesn't want.

Anyways, I came to find out later she was already just starting to date some dude anyways.  Also I wasn't really all that attracted to her.

But I'll count that as God "trying" to find me a lady.

It's an ok start... She's no Wawa coffee though.  She was like luke warm decaf.

If I'm going to spend the REST of my life with this girl and share my millions of dollars with her...

I want someone that I at least leave feeling something at least kind of close to what I felt after the first date with Wawa coffee girl.

If not... I just keep swiping on Bumble.

My thing is.... I'm totally fine just being by myself.  I want someone that adds value to me.  Not takes away.

If I may be cocky for a second... In the words of my mom a couple of years ago.... "Be careful who you end up with, you stand to inherit a lot of money."

So I say... I'm going to be picky when it comes to love.  Why?  Because I don't want some girl coming in here and deciding that half my mom's crap belongs to her.  My mom needs to approve of this girl.  All of this stuff I now own and will eventually own... Is my moms.  So my mom needs to be ok with whoever this girl is.  If I think that my mom wouldn't have liked her...

She's out.  And trust me.  I know my mom's taste.

So... We'll see what Bumble brings me.  Hopefully I stumble via Bumble on to the girl of my dreams.

I really just want to meet a girl in real life though.  I mean... That's always bugged me.  Why can't I just meet a girl in real life?

Like tonight... NONE of them were single.  Even the one girl that I was talking to... Was off limits because she had started dating a guy.

Why can't I just go out in person and go to a bar and walk up to a girl and be like "Hey are you single?  Can I ask you on a date?"

And have her say... "Yeah.  Sure.  I totally am."

Instead in real life it's like ... "Well I'm kind of still sort of not really in a half relationship with my ex and some other guy I'm sort of maybe still dating but I don't really know if we are..."

Yep.

This brings me to my final thought of the night...

I told the med school girl how I just thought that I wasn't feeling like my heart was in it.

Her text response?

"That's ok.  I was just using you for sex to get over my ex."

This is why I'm single and actually pretty happy to be single.  I'm just going to Gatsby it up.  Just be rich and single.

I try to be open and honest with you about my feelings and your response was...

"I was just using you for sex to get over my ex."

Don't get me wrong... I'd LOVE to meet a girl and tell the world via Instagram about my girlfriend and take selfies with her and I...

But seriously?  It's responses like that, that make me happy to be falling asleep alone tonight.

I have two words... "Fuck it."

And three more words...

"Who needs love."

I guess we'll see what Bumble brings.

And I guess we'll see what God brings (if God is real/actually reading my posts).  I mean... Why not prove yourself... Show the world that you have the power to lead me to love.  You know so many people are watching and waiting to see if I ever find love.  Why not ante up on your end of the wager?  Huh?  It's not like it would be THAT big of a thing for you.  It would be cake for you.  Just do it.  Help me end up like all the other people at this charity event tonight and help me find a girl that makes my heart skip a beat...

Help me find a girl that I want to marry and she wants to marry me.  That's all I'm asking for.
