Nobody puts baillee in the corner

Age: 38

Who was your first crush?

Christopher, in 3rd grade. We used to pass notes and smile at each other, awwwww. Then when we went to 4th grade he found someone else. Didn’t mind, it’s a sweet memory and I was a huge tomboy so I was more interested in playing 😀

Who was your first kiss?

Patrick, when I was 14. Dark room at church. Bad me!

What are your views on Tinder and other dating apps?

I am scared to death of them. I’m 38 so maybe that’s a factor. I’ve just seen too many scary stories in the news. I think it’s easier to hide how crazy you are with them. Also looks are NOT everything and there is a spark with the right person. I also think you can’t read a person over the Internet.

What was the best date you ever had?

I’m weird, I don’t really date. I’m more of a serial monogamist. If I like someone I’m with them until it’s over. But I would say the best ones have been lately, going out with David for sushi and trying to impress him with my broken French. It’s the best ❤

What was the worst date you ever had?

Again, don’t really date. Hmmmmm. Oh yes, when I was 15 I met a boy at the park I had a crush on. We made out (again, bad me) and walked around. Then he saw his friends and said “oh no, I can’t be seen with you.” Yeah. And stupid me said it was ok. I have WAY more self esteem now!

What goes through your head when you first realize you have feelings for someone?

Happy swimmy all is awesome humming love songs and not hungry at all. I see why people get addicted to it and go from new person to new person. It’s really something else.

What is the first trait that attracts you to someone?

When I was a teenager: mysterious and dark and brooding. As a 38 yo: kindness, ruggedness, a sense of humour, love of animals and outdoors. Also acceptance of me and my quirks. And being a nerd 😀

How would you describe heart break?

Just horrible. Makes me want to curl up in bed and die. Makes me want to hurt myself. Makes me want to eat a bunch of junk and drink and not do anything. Hell. It physically hurts.

What is your break up routine?

Country music!!!! Gets me through life. Eating spicy food. Loving on my friends and family and doggies. Cutting my hair. Buying a new outfit. Drinking 😀

Have you ever been in love?

Oh yes.

Do you think it’s possible to love two people at the same time?

Yes in different ways. I don’t think you can be truly romantically involved with two people unless they know about it and are ok. Cheating is bad bad bad.

What does love mean to you?

A soulmate, a forever friend. Life mate. Through life’s ups and downs. Like a best friend.

What advice do you have for someone who has never been in love?

I think that you will have the maturity that I didn’t and when you meet the right person you will be totally happy. There are a lot of bad apples out there and it is best to wait for the right one! Focus on your degree and career and making yourself the best person you can be. Volunteer and help others. Be happy in your own skin. Enjoy you. Because it really sucks to be in a relationship that you’ve settled for and have to hide things that are important to you (voice of experience)
