I Hate February

Not only is February known for the leap year day it has every four years, but it is also one of the months with the most relationships occurring.

So you can imagine how many times a day, I have spent pulling my hair out as I see half of everyone getting into a relationship. Every time I go on Facebook, my news feed seems to either be filled with tiny pink hearts or engagement rings. Now, it's not to say that I am not happy for these people, but if you asked me what it is that I envy the most, it would be people in stable relationships.

Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of being single and flirting around with guys, but at the end of the day I don't seem to have anyone to think about or anyone I would love to see every day.

Yes, I am a hopeless romantic that absolutely hates jumping from one guy to another (it always ends up bad). I dream with the day that a guy will absolutely sweep me off my feet and will fall madly in love with me.

(Okay not as cheesy...)

I've always heard never to rush anything and that sometimes when you least expect it, you find what you desire. It's true, it has happened to me before, but with time I have come to realize that the more I age, the more impatient I'm getting...

Did I happen to mention my birthday is coming soon?

Yes, my birthday.

It's not just ANY birthday, it's MY birthday and for those who are not aware, my birthday comes every four years. Meaning that I'll be turning 6 years old on February 29th.

So why do I hate February so much?

1) Half of everyone gets into relationships.

2) Half of everyone gets engaged.

3) While everyone has someone to hug at night, I just have my phone.

4) My birthday is this month and I hate getting older.

5) Chocolate sale after valentine's really doesn't do much for my waistline.

6) Another reminder that I'm not quite meeting my resolution goals...

Okay, so it could be worse, but for a romantic like me, this is just sad.

And now a word from my favorite show, Scrubs.

Gotta love rants sometimes.

Hello, Fake Mr. Nice Guy

I know this blog is usually for shits and giggles, and I am very aware that I sometimes go into an emotional rant, that probably has all my male readers banging their heads against a wall waiting for the return of ninja squirrel.

However, Bare with me... and my dear male readers you can also apply this situation to a woman as well, though I would probably title it The Acting Bitch: Hiding Behind the Nice Act.

A while back I wrote about the asshole phenomenon and how being an asshole seemed to be the way some guys got girls. Well in one of my random conversations with one of my friends, I questioned why a lot of the guys I dated changed through the relationship or after it...Her answer was that they were faking it to get with me, but later showed their true colors.

Then this thought came to mind, guys fake being nice to get with me when in reality they are assholes?! But...why?

Why is it that they change into being nice and follow me around like puppy dogs until they have my attention? and why is it that when I actually give them that attention, they turn into assholes and with one wave of the finger they make the decision of breaking up with me?

Is it selfishness that causes this? bitterness towards women? or just plain immaturity? or maybe just a perception I have? or it might just possibly be me?

I'm not saying that I am great myself, I have hurt others in my younger years, but at the same time I do have a good heart. A heart that seems to care way too much about people and my thought is...why?

Why fake being nice to just be with me? Sure, they might have not been nice at all and might have just used this as a way to win their challenge, but really everyone I've ever dated?? I've gotten the usual "I'm a good guy," "I'm not like every other guy," "I'm the guy that everyone overlooks," type of lines and yet when I believe that this might be true, they turn around and turn into assholes.

Will I ever know what is up? Probably not...They probably are attempting to be like this guy:

But I doubt it.

I hope I eventually break this cycle of dating so many fake Mr. nice guys and genuinely date a nice guy, who will not hire an asshole or turn into one.
