Men are like coffee??

During my university days I was very ambitious, like most people once I graduated I thought the world was going to be my clam shell and I was the pearl. The picture attached used to be my coffee order everyday! Quad Grande, 1 Pump Sugar-Free Vanilla, Non-fat, No Foam, Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks. Back in those days this cup cost me $4.27. NOW, it's $7.25 (luckily I had a free Starbucks reward)!!!

I had always thought if I drank bouji coffee, dressed in name brand clothes and go to the gym everyday, I would attract a guy similar (now they're called metros). Like the saying if you throw it out to the universe it will come back (something like that). A guy who has money, therefore has a good job and was attractive were my main criteria. I needed all that fluff, very shallow! what and how people perceived me was important to me!!

As I got older and as my coffee drinking buds have changed (simple: Triple Tall Americano, but still from Starbucks), I realized men are like coffee! The more things you add to it you dilute the taste of the coffee (and more expensive). I genuinely love the taste of strong coffee. I have come down to the bare minimum. Espresso shots and water, it gets the job done and it is what I want in the morning. I feel like searching for a guy should be the same thing..

COFFEE - GUY Relation
  • Coffee helps me get through the day - a guy should help me through life. 
  • My coffee still needs to come from Starbucks or even those independent coffee stores (NO TIM HORTONS! Only if I'm feeling cheap and desperate.. Sort of like a one night stand!).. So I guess I'm still somewhat bouj! - Guy needs to have a decent job. Hey if I have a decent job so should the guy!
  • Starbucks is always there for me (they are only 2-3 blocks from where I am; whether it's work or at home) - like a guy should be
  • No regrets with my Americano, I don't need to change it, once in a while I will spruce it up by adding non-fat milk - I should accept the guy the way he is, only changing him once in a while

I still have a Caramel Macchiato and when I do it is a treat. It brings me back to those days when I thought good guys were readily available and finding someone was like a Korean Drama or a Romantic Comedy movie.

I don't  know what it is about this pandemic, perhaps it's boredom, but I have been willing to go on more dates, even though I have gain about 20 pounds after gaining 40 initially! I figure if they can like me with my pandemic weight, they really like me for who I am.  Specs: Asian Works for a weed company in Hamilton Used to write jingles Lives in mid-town in a condo, his brother and parents live in the same building Drives a X2 He has a J name, it's actually one of my favourite names I am not sure if all women do this, but when I am excited about a date, I will eat less the night before that way I am not bloated the next day, and give myself a facial that way my face looks refreshed. During this pandemic, my skin has been going through some horrible shit, I have broken out many times due to the sun. This time the night before I gave myself a facial Dermologica Hydration mask, drank lots of water, and I worked out. I ordered a dress online from H&M that I have deemed a...

Slowly Being Ghosted??

 Not too sure what happened after date 3.. He was all of a sudden a lot busier.. didn't message as much. I sort of understood where he was coming from.. He doesn't trust his trainers so I guess he has taken on more clients, considering he charges $250/hour that goes straight to his pockets. We were supposed to go on date 4 on Thursday because on Friday, I was going to Chicago.... but he had messaged Thursday afternoon to tell me he's not in a condition to meet up and have a conversation.. and slowly.. the messages are far and in between... sus? We were still chatting here and there, since I lost bowling, I owed him a facial. I didn't want to take him to a $200 facial that I've been wanting to try and I didn't want to take him to a facial place where I didn't know their standards. So, I asked him if he wanted to go to a facial or see Tina Turner musical. He said definitely the musical. I went a head a purchased the tickets for $300 (both). But because of his ...

The first, first date we were supposed to go on he cancelled because his friend was moving to NY and they were throwing a going away party. That was fine, I ended up flying out to Vancouver for the weekend. When we picked a new date, again, I had to pick a time and place.

I also wanted Hodo Kwaja (Walnut Cake) and I needed to pick up new face lotion, so it was ...
