Going out as a single guy 101

Nice time for sure
 
As a single guy, going out can be a fun and exciting experience. But let's be real, sometimes it can also be way too uncomfortable. From the creepy pick-up lines to the awkward small talk, the dating scene can be a minefield of cringe-worthy moments. So, grab a drink and buckle up, because we're about to dive into the hilarious world of dating mishaps.

First off, let's talk about the dreaded pick-up lines. Now, I'm not saying all pick-up lines are bad, but some of them are just downright ridiculous. "Excuse me miss, are you a magician? Because every time I look at you, everyone else disappears." Really dude? The only thing disappearing is your chance with her. And let's not forget the classic, "Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk by again?" Yeah, because nothing says romance like a rehearsed one-liner.

Now, let's move on to the small talk. It's always great to start a conversation and get to know someone, but sometimes it can feel like pulling teeth. "So, what do you do for a living?" "I work in marketing." "Cool, cool. So, what do you like to do for fun?" "Uh, hang out with friends, I guess." Wow, exciting stuff. It's like trying to have a conversation with a brick wall.

So,, not a fan of flowers? 
And then there's the whole dance of trying to figure out if they're actually interested or just being polite. Are they laughing at your jokes because they're funny, or because they're trying to be nice? Are they leaning in because they're into you, or because they can't hear you over the loud music? It's a never-ending guessing game.

And let's not forget about the pressure to make a move. When is the right time to ask for their number? Do you go in for a kiss? Do you wait for them to make the first move? It's like being in a high-stakes game of chess, except you have no idea how to play.

Yea, this looks great! 
At the end of the day, being a single guy and going out can be a rollercoaster of emotions. Sometimes it's fun and exciting, and other times it's just plain uncomfortable. But hey, it's all part of the journey, right? So, embrace the awkward moments, laugh at the ridiculous pick-up lines, and keep on swiping. Who knows, maybe you'll find your perfect match in the most unexpected of places. Or, you know, you could always just adopt a cat and call it a day.

Nimpost Ama Nisimpost?

You ever sat there scrolling your feed, fingers itchy, wondering—“Nimpost ama nisimpost?” 😅 Because let’s be real, in 2025 having a relationship is not just about love—it’s a whole PR project. The moment you tag bae, the whole world feels entitled to a seat at your dinner table. aded13a1-c639-4bd3-a8fd-c97fd4d0554b.png  When your relationship is a public project, not a private journey.    Challenge number one: the audience. Your relationship instantly stops being two people and becomes a community project. Aunties in diaspora, haters from high school, your ex lurking with popcorn. Everyone is “watching.” One fight and suddenly your post of “my forever” looks like satire. Challenge number two: the pressure. Public love has deadlines. You must like, comment, post couple pics or else…“Is everything okay?” Bro, sometimes I just want to love silently without feeling like a content creator for my own relationship. Challenge number three: the exit strategy. Private breakups are...

Why Money + Love = 2: A Happy New Year’s Controversy

Happy New Year, everyone! We’ve officially stepped into a brand-new year of chaos, excitement, and questionable resolutions. Some of you might be working on that six-pack (good luck with that), others may have vowed to be a better version of yourselves (again, best of luck), and a few of you probably just aim to survive the year (I’m with you). But let’s not kid ourselves: there’s a far more pressing question that needs answering. Are we really living in a world where money and love equal happiness? Can these two opposites actually add up to a perfect balance in life? Now, brace yourselves, because I’m about to drop a controversial hot take: Money and love are like 1 + 1 = 2. Think about it. Love alone is nice, but if you’re broke, how far does that love go? It’s hard to cuddle up in front of a fireplace when your electricity’s been cut off for the third time this month. But money alone? Don’t even get me started. You may have enough cash to buy a yacht, but it’s not much fun if you’re...

Why We All Need to Stop Running Away From Discomfort (But We Probably Won’t)

  Okay, let’s get real. We all have that one thing we do when life throws us an uncomfortable situation: we run. Yep, we ghost our problems, just like we ghost those half-baked Tinder matches or the leftover pizza in the fridge (don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about). But let’s be honest—avoiding discomfort is the ultimate cop-out. It feels good in the moment, sure. When someone brings up that awkward conversation about your personal life, or heaven forbid, asks you to take selfies when you’re just not feeling it (I mean, I’m not a Kardashian), it’s easy to do what I call the “silent retreat” move. Just shut down, walk away, and hope that if you ignore it long enough, it’ll magically fix itself. Spoiler alert: it won’t. But Why Do We Do This? It’s not like we’re all secretly introverts running away from human interaction (though, if you are, I totally understand). No, we avoid discomfort because it’s... uncomfortable. Shocking, right? But here’s the kicker: avoiding ...
