The Bad Pancake Theory

The Bad Pancake Theory, the theory that your first guy after a serious relationship will end in epic failure. Like the first pancake, you try to make during breakfast. Over cooked, under cooked or just burned. Thanks to one of my favorite show currently to introduce me to this, Younger. The amazing show on TVLand with Hillary Duff. If you have no clue what I am talking about, please do yourself the favor and go binge. Like some critics of the show say, It is the current Sex in the City, I believe it. Just wish the episodes were a tad bit longer and it ran like a season of Greys Anatomy, a girl can dream.

The last episode that gave me light into this theory really got me thinking, Who was my bad pancake? Sadly I feel like the majority have been bad pancakes. Are we just a society that breeds bad pancakes?  – relationships? Just think about it. When was the last time you went on an amazing date? You two were nervous ( don’t lie, you were too! ), but there was no awkward silence. Neither of you could stop smiling. The good intelligent conversation happened about anything and everything. When you finally kissed, it was amazing. So much so that you could have seen fireworks thanks to all of the previous statements. Well, where is that person now?  You most likely are no longer speaking to them. It is scary to start analyzing where those relationships have gone. With all of the dating site we have now, and the “next” in line attitude, have we created a domed society of just trying to size up what we have?

I can honestly say that over the last year there are a couple, like two which just happen to be from the UK, that I know were not BP, they were amazing to the point that I am still friends with one. Sadly more than a handful that can go in the BP category, more like the what were you thinking.  At the end of the day, I don’t know what life will throw my way. What I do know is that my cheering section is pretty amazing. We can only be hopeless romantics at the end of the day. Who knows if any of my Brits will come back and save me. With that being said I feel the need to add the shame of the Tinder at the end of this post. Yes, these are actual Tinder messages I receive. Well, that will be my next post since I’ve been advised to keep those guys in the witness protection program. I feel I should be able to call out you dumb compositions of words you call sentences or pick up lines. I feel like someone should put a stop to them, but I also don’t want to get sued.

XOXO
