Welcome to my Blog
Join me as I navigate the world of online dating for the first time, review my dates, and spill the tea.
Well, it was supposed to be an online dating blog… but now, it’s just a dating blog! Turns out, meeting people in person works just as well, if not better. Let’s find out…

A date in my life.
*Sebastián, 37- The Spaniard: Part 1
I realized I love PDA. Some people hate it- totally fine, it’s not for everyone. But, I love it. And I’m not gonna be apologetic about it either. 8 billion people in the world and you choose one. Yeah, be obsessed with me and let me be obsessed with you.
*Jamie, 27- Lisbon Lover: Part 2
This guy got to wake up next to a baddie, go do his meeting, and then come right back to a baddie (yeah, even if I looked like a little crackhead, I’m still a bad b*tch). Then… out of nowhere, we hear his doorbell (wtf). I’m like… “are you expecting someone…?”
*Jamie, 27- Lisbon Lover: Part I
Me: “If this guy doesnt show up in 5 mins I’m stealing you and making you show me where to get some good food (laughing emoji)”
Logan, 28-Love and Loss
Okay-so, all this to say- great, I liked someone, still do, I’m not seeing them anymore, obviously it’s hard, obviously I miss him, obviously this sucks! So why did I put myself through this in the first place?
*Evan, 31- The Picnic
… but he was really perfect on paper. He checked all the boxes. Evan was one of the profiles that I got the “Most compatible: Nayomi & Evan you two should meet” messages from the app. The algorithm must be onto something.
*Brady, 34- Part 3: The Soccer Game
He got me a hot dog and watched me inhale it. (I LOVE hotdogs btw. Not a weird analogy or anything, I truly am just a hotdog queen). He took a deep breath and made a “no comment” face lol.
*Liam, 33- Ryan Gosling
First of all- SAY LESS FAM, I’m brown, I eat with my hands anyway. Couldn’t agree more. The food tastes so much better. It IS the better way to eat.
Secondly…. the second half of that felt weirdly sensual and I’m into it.
*Brady, 34- Part 2: Boundaries
B: “Well you don’t haveee to drive home. Good thing I live a few blocks away”
It was one of those half jokes. Like one of those things you throw out there just to see if it sticks.
*Justin, 31- The Bad Date
Is this what keeps people up at night? Do I just have main character energy?? Is he having an existential crisis?
*Brady, 34- Workplace Romance
I got a little rush out of knowing he wanted to see me, but I also kept my distance.
1) I had a boyfriend
2) I wanted to keep my professional life and personal life separate.
*Seth, 26-UPDATE
Of course I didn’t think much of it- the guys sick… give him some time to recover…
*Seth, 26-The Wholesome Date
Me: “Are you actually Buddhist?”
(I don’t know- guys say some weird stuff for attention.)
*Carter, 34-The Group Date
I’m saying my hellos, and joke that I’m the first date girl. One of the girls who just got there laughs and says “Really?” Yes really! She looked so confused. “I can’t tell if this is a joke.”
*Ryan, 37-Lust at First Sight
The hint totally flew over his head because he responded “Yes. I agree. Not a smart play for us to just list what’s wrong with us before we meet lol. I’m kinda excited to see you :)”
Me: Hey…that was your cue to ask me out
