Disasters in Dating Dating is hard. Dating online is hard. Dating online in your thirties is hard. Dating online in your thirties after being in a ten-year relationship is hard. What’s not hard? Meeting men who aren’t really single. Having your time wasted. Receiving unsolicited pictures of genitalia. Said genitalia. When did dating become so complicated? I just want to find a nice, good looking man who replies to my entire text message and doesn’t text me “WYD” every hour. I just want to find a fun loving, intelligent man who doesn’t have a Master’s Degree in Cheating, Shenanigans and Tomfoolery and isn’t fluent in lies. I just want to find a man who is actually the height he listed in his dating profile. I jumped back into the dating scene with tempered expectations. I didn’t think all the men I would meet were going to be amazing, but I didn’t think so many of them were going to be disasters.

Choose Your Happily Ever After (1 of 2 possible endings for Disasters in Dating) Desiree Johnson had to start over due to circumstances she didn’t see coming and a bombshell that was out of her control. In starting over, she was thrust into a situation that was completely unfamiliar to her: dating. But not just dating, online dating. And not just online dating, online dating in her thirties. But wading through the sea of WYD texts, dick pics, cheating boyfriends/husbands, and womanizers gave her a better idea of what she wanted and what she didn’t want. And it made her appreciate and want to hold on to the good men she did find. But when a chance encounter forced her hand, Desiree had to make a choice. And now, so do you. Our happiness is a direct reflection of the choices we make and the people with whom we choose to involve ourselves. To a certain degree, the life we live is a sum of our choices. We are a sum of our choices. Choose wisely.
