Not sure how to start?!?!

I'm very new to blogging, in fact this would be my first one and I'm not sure what to say. I guess I'll start by telling you a little about myself and why I started this blog. My name is Natalie and I'm 26 years old. I was born and raised in Los Angeles and still live here. I was never one to care too much about dating, well honestly I liked the fact that I was single. It was nice only having to think about myself (I'm not selfish or anything just young). But as I get older I'm starting to realize that I want someone to think about.

The whole blogging comes into the mix when one day my bff (who blogs herself http://www.casadenicole.com/ ) recommended I start dating and blog about it. I laughed it off at first but than started thinking, I'm not so great at expressing my feelings or emotions, sometimes it's because I don't really know what I'm feeling and other times it is because I would rather go numb than have to feel my hurt emotions.

Well needless to say, I think it's time that I grow up. Like I said I'm not well at vocalizing my feelings or thoughts but for some reason when it comes to typing them out I'm much better at it.(it's kind of therapeutic)

For the time being I set-up an eharmony account, well honestly I did that about a year ago but I'm to chicken to reply back or meet anyone. So if anyone is reading this and has some advice PLEASE HELP I'm more than willing to listen. I guess in the end I really started this blog to understand myself better, because if you don't understand yourself than know one is going to understand you and if know one understands you well what's the point in being in a relationship.

  4. Yay Welcome to bloggy world. I heart your BFF and i'm also a cali girl!!! My advice to online dating is ... it's not as scary as everyone thinks it is. Once you get the hang of it you quickly learn who the weirdos are. I met my Hubby on line and it wasn't til the 4th email or wink or whatever you wanna call it that i answered and we have been together since! (going on 5 yrs together- 4 yrs of marriage) a little tip... when you go meet the date do it in a public place call them and ask them what they are wearing and if they look nothing like the picture RUNNNNN! lol In the end have fun! you might just meet mr right!

  5. I tried eharmony at one time but gave up after the 122nd question. It's all about Craigslist, baby.
