Hello, World!

Talking to girls you don't know is awkward. It doesn't matter who you are.

Then again, my awkward girl-related stories have a repuation. I recently broke up with a (super awesome and definitely missed but ultimately incompatible-with-me (I learned that "incompatible" doesn't have to mean "we fight a lot")) girlfriend I had for about 10 months, and multiple friends expressed their condolences, but said they were kind of excited that they get to hear awkward girl-related stories again.

Seriously - did you see that sentence I just wrote? That's the sort of thing that happens inside my brain when I try to express thoughts. Normally I can correct for it when I speak, but when I am confronted with the additional pressure and emotional turmoil involved in speaking to someone I think is cute, things don't come out so smoothly.

At all.

Here are the ground rules:

1. I swear to you I am not doing this on purpose or disrespectfully. This website is about things I say in earnest to people I like and who I want to like me. Sometimes it just doesn't work out that way.
2. I'm not making any of this stuff up. Truth is more awkward than fiction.

In addition to the best of the awkward things I say on a weekly basis to girls, I'll be blogging old classics (I've got some winners from high school and college that are pretty enjoyable), and if I get really motivated, I have a feature-length girl-related Awkward Adventure just begging to be serialized. Expect great things.

Anyway, whether you're laughing at or with me, or you're commisserating with the poor, innocent girls I try to talk to, I hope you enjoy the blog.
