I was going to get on here and talk about the whole Daniel asking me out situation, but I think Tori covered it pretty well. I'll just fill in the missing gaps / give you my perspective.

Daniel is a very beautiful man. Tall, dirty blonde hair, hazel eyes and a typical hockey player's body. He kind of looks like a Hemsworth brother but he's so humble and has the sweetest soul... what more can a girl ask for?! He's also super impulsive.. much like his sister!  I was completely caught off guard by the whole thing, but not totally against it. I guess Daniel and I have always had this unspoken connection, but nothing ever came from it.

I can remember being in high school, going to watch all of his games with Tori. I had the biggest crush on him, but I never spoke about it. He would always pay more attention to me than our other friends, and they noticed it too. They would always tease me about being in love with Tori's older brother. He was the first boy to ever pay attention to me and I liked it. We flirted all through high school, but never dated. We still flirt non-stop, but I always thought it was innocent.

That text message completely caught me off guard. I must have read it 13 times before it finally clicked.

Hey Jenny.. so I've been meaning to do this for a while and I know it's kinda random but I thought maybe if u wanted we could go out one night. Just u and me. Let me know what u think.. 

I kept closing it and re-opening it. I thought I read the name wrong. Daniel Commisso. Nope.. it was from him! A whole flood of emotions started happening. Excitement. Fear. Stress. Confusion. Excitement again. And then fear.. again.

I knew Tori would freak out about that text .. in case you guys haven't picked up on it, she's super dramatic. I can see her point though. If we did ever get together and things went bad, that would cause such a strain on me and Tori's relationship. Plus, Daniel hasn't had the best year. Between that married chick and him befriending my ex.. it could get super messy.

I answered him the best way I could..

Hi! I honestly would love too.. but I just don't think now is a great time for me. I'm sorry.

Five years ago, I would have jumped at the chance to date Daniel. But right now, at this moment, I think it would be too complicated. Plus, I'm no where near ready to date anyone again. And even though Daniel is super sexy, I would feel horrible using him just for his body.

But that's what I need right now. A body. I think. I signed up for Tinder... I have never even used this app before, so I had no idea what to expect. It's... interesting. That's literally the only word I can think of right now. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that someone created an app for people to find their next hook ups.

I haven't even swiped yes to one person! I just think it's so strange. I mean, a lot of people use it so clearly I'm the only one that feels this way! And props to you if you are tindering your way through life.. I just don't think it's for me. I'm all about doing things the old fashioned way. (I love how I've just talked myself out of using Tinder while typing this up.. thanks blogger! )

Anyways, that's where I'm at right now. I'm just one big confused bubble of emotions. Aren't you so happy you follow me?!

  1. The only thing -right now- that I think online dating (tinder or otherwise) would be good for is to rip the Band-Aid off!! It sort of catapults you into mingling and interacting with people, when you otherwise wouldn't want to. Plus, online dating allows you to get to know people that usually have similar goals/expectations spelled out right from the get-go. Just something to think about! If you don't feel ready yet, then wait. But, it's never too early to put yourself out there. Hang in there <3

    1. I'm happy you're enjoying it! I was so nervous to start.. I have zero confidence in my writing / was terrified of putting my life on the internet.
