Don't Get Attached

When guys asked me out on dates, I never really cared about where they took me out to dinner. It was more about the conversation, the chemistry, that kind of stuff.

But after hearing some horror stories, I must say I was pretty lucky in my dating choices because every guy that ever took me out picked a nice restaurant. And by nice restaurant, I don't necessarily mean some fancy 5 course dinner. One of my best first date was at an underground tapas place. The guy ordered pretty much everything on the menu and since the way to my heart is definitely food, I truly thought he was the one. He wasn't, which apparently is no surprise according to food psychology 101.

Apparently  people who like tapas are the kind of people who avoid commitment. See they can't even commit to an entree, let alone a relationship. They don't want to make decisions so tapas is their answer: a little bit of everything.


On the contrary, people whose favorite food is French food tend to be romantic to a fault. They are loyal, cling to tradition and respect authority. So I guess they are more "relationship material" than tapas people.

Interesting right? Does it mean I should avoid guys who like tapas?
  

I guess it does, but that would make me a hypocrite because my favorite food is tapas too. However, in my opinion, just because I want to have both fish and meat, and a million other things, the same night, doesn't mean I have commitment issues.  

Do you think all these food rules are a bunch of nonsense? Or is there some truth in some of it?

Joshua Tree: the perfect spot to DISCONNECT

Image
Joshua Tree has always been on my list and by always, I mean since last August when I moved to Cali and started mapping out mini adventures in my new home state. So I guess always might be an exaggeration, but I get a little anxious and impatient when it comes to traveling and exploring.  So after cancelling Joshua Tree in November because of an ear infection, and December being crazy busy, I was super hopeful for January. But my hopes were shattered, and Joshua Tree started to become more and more like a dream that would never come true.  Perhaps another person would have thought it wasn’t meant to be - but like i said before, when it comes to traveling, I am pretty tenacious. So finally on the last day of February, with much juggling of my work schedule and some crazy luck, I made it to Joshua Tree and woke up to this beautiful sunrise on the 1st day of March.  The perfect way to start the month, don’t you think?  We entered the park t...

Imagine dating your computer

Image
Saturday night I went to the theater and saw the movie " HER " by director Spike Jonze and I have to say, even though I liked the movie, it could have been better if someone had introduced us before hand. I could have made it better because we could have used stuff from my book . This is the part where you think I am super full of himself for saying that a Hollywood director should collaborate with me. You might even wonder: did she really write that and go back to read the paragraph again. Don't bother. I did. You didn't misread. But I promise I am not full of myself. I loved the movie. It was brilliant. If you don't know what I am talking about, here is a quick synopsis: a lonely almost divorced guy writes love letters for a living but cannot seem to communicate with the people around him. He then falls in love with his OS. Sadly OS is not some sort of code for Obnoxious Secretary, it is an operating system. The man falls in love with his computer, who ends ...

Rude or not?

A few weeks ago, a flight attendant working with me on a flight to India approached me and asked if she could ask me a personal question. "Sure," I replied. "Don't get me wrong, you are beautiful," she said. I remember thinking "wow it is starting really good - what will follow is going to be really bad." But it wasn't. She noticed I had acne and knew of a treatment to fix it. I laughed and told her to relax. Why would I be offended? I was thankful, and if you ever had acne, you can relate because you probably tried a million of creams and lotions, which all failed, so even a glimpse of  hope meant something. And that's exactly what Carmen gave me: HOPE. However when a stranger approached me yesterday with his business card and said to call him because he had something that would fix my skin, I was a little annoyed. I felt that it was out of place for a stranger to mention anything about my skin or anything else for that matter....
