1 More Month and I am GONE

I am down to the final month of living in Utah.  I will be going to DC from August 8-11 for training at the CRNC headquarters and then I trek off to my given location until November.  I am staying in the Western Region and I am hoping for CA, WA, or NV.  I have so much to do before I leave and it is stressing me out but I am so grateful for the support I have from friends and family in my career goals.  Life is great and I am getting more and more excited for what is to come! 

Dating Theories in Previous Post

I just realized that I did not specify what my dating theories were or who these unsuspecting men were in a previous post.  Not that most people really care but these theories TOTALLY work in Utah.  I sat down one day a few months ago and wrote down things that I knew guys liked.  The list was basically food, physical contact with females, and sports.  I know that this is not true to all guys but for 95% of the male population, this is where their heads are.  I decided to take on a few guys that had shown minor interest in me and exploit that a bit to see if I could get them to like me by catering to these needs.  I started with 2 and added on the 3rd and 4th over the course of a month and a half. 
I would start by putting myself in a situation where I could talk to this guy to show him attention and compliment him in some way.  FHE, Stake Basketball, and the gym were the 3 places this worked the best.  I would start talking to him and getting to know him and as soon as he started to feel comfortable and ask me about myself, I would share that I love sports, cooking, exercising, etc.  The cooking thing ALWAYS made them perk up and they would comment on it.  From there, I would tell them I would love to cook for them and boom, they are coming over to my house to eat some food.  (disclaimer: I am actually a really good cook so this worked well because they would rave about the food)  As they realized they liked my cooking, they felt even more comfortable and they would relate me with yummy food (which makes them happy) and a fun/chill conversation which usually has something to do with sports (which also makes them happy).  They feel at ease about me and the situation so we would become a bit closer in the relationship.  They would then start texting me or calling me to ask me out.  As this happened, I continue cooking for them and break the touch barrier.  Hugs, arm touches, and knee brushes are the best and most obvious way to let a guy know that you are interested.  Within a week of this final step, 3 out of the 4 guys were wanting to date me for real and they kissed me.  The 4th one did kiss me but he was recently out of a serious relationship and not exactly in the right mindset to want to date.  Seriously this process works.  You have to play to the guy's interests and food is the best way to start.  This is part of the stupid game that everyone in Utah claims is the only way to date BUT this actually works for those crazy girls that are wanting nothing but a boyfriend that will become a spouse in a year or less.  Just saying, it works.  Try it.  Love it.  Tweak it for your own personality and his but stick to the basics:  Food, Sports, Common Interests, and the Physical Contact.    

Moving away

I finally get to move away from Utah!  I have lived here a year and given my all but it is time to move on to bigger and better things.  I currently work on Hill AFB and although the experience has been great, the atmosphere is not the best for me.  I recently got a position with the Republican Party which I begin in August and I could not be more happy!  I get to do what I love and I get to travel and focus on politics full time as opposed to just a hobby.  I have continued my political blog and have taken on tweeting as well.  So many incredible media outlets to express myself and get positive (and definitely negative) feedback.  I feel good about my decisions and cannot wait to be directly involved in this crazy political election!  After this election season, I will be moving to Washington DC (finally) to continue my career in politics and hopefully be groomed to run for office within the next decade or so.  Wish me luck!

And Now to Real Life...

I am currently taking a short break from the paper for my International Relations class which I had no idea was due tomorrow until this morning... Not sure how I missed that but here I am.  My last day of working at the Loft was yesterday and I was SO happy to walk out of there knowing that I would never have to work a retail job ever again.  SUCH a great feeling!  I start my new job at Hill Air Force Base on Monday and finally get to begin the dream of working for the government.  I passed my comprehensive exams and I have one more paper and one more final to take and then I am done with school.  It seem as though this week is going by ever so slowly and I would love it if I could just skip ahead to the part where I get my diploma.  Life is great.  I love where I live (for now) and I love the people I associate with.  I have been testing dating theories on 4 unsuspecting males but I was able to learn a lot and no one got hurt.  They just got a lot of great cooking and kissing :) Now... back to writing!  Wish me luck!

Natasha Bedingfield... A Little Too Much... SO GOOD!

Kissing doesn't make anything better.

I have been dating again and it was fun until I started getting all this advice from people and it became super confusing.  I have always though dating was simple; you either like someone or you don't and vice versa.  Not hard right?  Wrong.  People are ridiculously lame when it comes to being real and open about the opposite sex and apparently you HAVE to play "the game" in order to get anywhere.  What is this game and why do you have to play it??  I am so clueless when it comes to this because I am honest and real about things concerning the heart so its a joke trying to figure out if someone is interested or just being nice.
I have gone on quite a few dates lately and everyone keeps telling me to go on lots of dates and kiss guys to see what I like and who I am actually interested in.  Usually I just go for one guy at a time and see what happens but I tried this little game that everyone talks about and it sucks.  I kissed some guys and everything got all screwy!  The one guy I liked got way weird and withdrew after we kissed and the other two were friends and then they decided to confess their undying love for me and I had to let them down and now I don't have them as friends.  I lost 3 friends because of kissing and that is just not cool.  BAD ADVICE!
So yeah.  Now I don't even want to date because it is kind of stupid that I have to resort back to junior high level dating to go out with people.  I used to wonder why all these great guys were 30 and not married... now I know.  It is because they are stupid and cannot make a move on one girl at a time and be normal about it.  They act like spazzes and blame it on girls who in turn act crazy and over-analyze and blame it on guys.  This is not a win win situation people.
SOOOOO over this.  

Tests, Jobs, Business... Oh My!

I am trying to avoid studying for my ever approaching comprehensive exams coming up in... 3 days.  I just got a job offer from Hill AFB starting in May and it is really difficult to concentrate on anything else so I feel like I should just gush about it and other exciting things in life so I can focus on studying with a clear mind.
I will be an administrative clerk which sounds dull but I could not be more thrilled to have been selected for a civil service position.  The job starts on May 7 and I am happy to announce that I will be quitting retail for the rest of forever!  Finally!
The second exciting tidbit that I want to share is the possibility of a business that I will be starting with a close friend of mine.  He and I want to create a dating service that is a combination of Hitch and Millionaire Matchmaker through which we help couples and singles make wise decisions in dating so they do not ruin their personal lives with common, silly mistakes that many people make.  SO excited because although I myself suck at dating, I am great at giving advice and creating opportunities for others to find joy in a relationship.  More deets on this in the future.
Well, that is all for now but stay tuned!
