  • How to Meet The One

    This is a guest blog submitted by sophia.

    Marianne couldn't find her tweezers. She thought her life was over. Everyone knows that untweezed eyebrows that are usually tweezed look really funny:




    But then I informed Marianne that luck will probably throw her The One if she keeps her eyebrows all straggly lookin'. That's the way luck usually works. 

    This is my theory:

    Look good, be prepared --> meet no one.
    Crawl out of bed and go buy milk --> meet Mr. Right.

    Lady Luck is hardly ever on my side when it comes to love, so I theorized that when I look really ugly and gross, I will meet my future lovah. But at least I will meet him, right? So chances are, I will have something wrong with me when I meet him. I have already accepted that.  Teehee.

    For example, I go to Borders often and I look normal, nice, whatever, but do I ever see any cute boys? NO. And then the ONE DAY that I go to Borders with messy hair, old, ratty clothes, broken pink flip flops and an oily face, I see the token Cute Boy from School and am forced to say hi to him.

    Luck can be so cruel!

    So, if you want to know how to meet The One, here are some important tips:
    • Do not be prepared.
    • Leave your eyebrows untweezed.
    • Wear ugly clothes.
    • Don't wear makeup.
    • Don't wash your face.
    • Don't brush your teeth.
    • Don't brush your hair.
    If you follow my suggestions, this could be you!



    Also, Marianne made a very interesting observation! "Ohh...maybe that's why in like stereotypical romance stories, the guy is always, like, 'you look more and more beautiful everyday.' NOW WE KNOW WHY!"

    Is this true for you? Do you always manage to run into crushes when you're unprepared?

    HAHAHHAHHHHHAHAHHAHA.


    oh my goodness -_- , love hits us in all kinds of crazy ways. we will Never be expected to see who or when to expect to see who ..cuhs we can not predict the future.


    But uhm, everywhere I go..it doesn't really matter??? lol, i still see guys everywhere O_O?? lol. but NEVER, think of them as 'the one' oh dear , no. i think. BOOTY CALL lol jk!

  • beachblondie711@xanga

    Well I haven't had a new crush on anyone in four years, as I've been basically committed to the person I love.


    It's always been my theory that if you want to meet the one, then do this: nothing. You're right. Don't plan for it. It will happen when you aren't expecting it.


    But I'm also a believer in getting dressed up and tweezing those eyebrows - but not for the one, for yourself! It's a girl's perogative to feel pretty. If you feel pretty in sweatpants (like I do) then great! If not... tweeze away! :)

  • hopelessromantic

    That's SO TRUE! I always seem to meet guys when I think I look like shit and (on the rare occasion I participate in hook-up like activities) when I haven't shaved my legs... But if I shave my legs and make myself look nice, I know I'm not getting any action that night. Nor am I going to meet "the one."

  • ozzieong@xanga

    Haha, this is a funny post.

    I am always myself so I'm not worried if I bump into my crushes that way. If they don't like what they see, then they shouldn't be with me in the first place because if and when we are in a relationship, he's going to see me like that on a daily basis!

    But do make yourself pretty, because it boosts up your confidence. My friend once told me that it's not about how you look, it's about how much confidence you have. If you think that you can be confident looking like a hobo, then why not? Hehe.

    Just a speculation, but could it be our own temporary fluctuation in standards?
    Maybe when you're shitty and unkept, you're less choosy because we have a lower self-evaluation which is in linear relation to 'you can get'. therefore 'mr. average' automatically gets bumped up to 'mr. awesome'
    and when you're doll-ed up and looking finneee, you're consciously searching which makes you more judgmental and choosy, therefore 'mr. average' unfortunately gets the boot and is instead, labeled 'mr. sub-par'

  • deathtemplar@xanga

    so funny I've actually heard of something like that. I forgot whether it was my girl friend or guy friend that went to the corner store in their PJs and bought some milk and met his g/f or b/f like that haha that was a good laugh though! =P

  • just_melmel@xanga

    ALL THE TIME!!  well not finding Mr. Right. but it never fails that the one day I decide to not look my best, a really hot guy crosses my path.  i find it so funny.


    but i think that if you look good all the time, then you'll still me Mr. Right, except you'll look good too. 

  • Dishu@xanga

    Live life.

    If you believe in the one you'll run into the them regardless of what you look like or are doing. Right?

    Not worth the time to actively search. that shit will figure itself out.

    just my opinion

  • bbheart2heart@xanga

    Yes, I always look like shit when I see a crush of mine. It actually just happened today at work. Saw him in the hallway while I was having a heated discussion with a coworker and I looked like hell.

  • breakingthemold

    Lol, I met my first BF at a summer camp where he worked and it was after I been traveling all day and I looked very much a sight... *shudders*

  • the_bonsai_tree@xanga

    YES!!! OH. MY. GOSH. I'm not even lying--I ALWAYS met up with my crushes at the most random times when I was not expecting them at all.

    It also works that way for dating--you tend to land yourself in romantic situations when you least expect it. It's kind of like... walking down a road immersed in your own little world, and then falling into a giant pothole that you didn't see along the way. And in that giant pothole happens to be the person of interest.

    Yeah...

  • cdedodgethis@xanga

    I agree with hopelessromantic, this used to happen to me all the time, whenever I was too lazy to shave before I went out to a party, bar, club, kickback, I would end up hooking up with somebody and being somewhat embarrassed (depending on length of hair left on my legs).  But when I took the time to make sure I shaved and looked decent I wouldn't meet anyone attractive at all. Can't explain why, it just would happen.

  • grinner08@xanga

    OMG, story of my unnatural love life!

  • Femme003@xanga

    LOL Sometimes...it works! :)

  • jeweliette@xanga

    LoL, so true.  What I think it is though, is that we always run into boys when we're not looking.  It's very strange, but whenever I'm perfectly fine with being single and not looking, all the boys come my way.  But when I'm yearning for someone, I sink deeper into singledom. 

  • FireMapleSong@xanga
  • ambreguesa@xanga

    that's hilarious... and so dang true (unfortunately!)

  • littletesseract@xanga

    My advice: stop looking. It is then that Eros hits ya. I looked forever and always for Mr. Right...among the guys that would be my type. Then, I stopped. Gave up. Had a bout of depression laced with tears and Haagen-Daz.

    Literally, the next WEEK. A good friend set me up with her best guy friend, and there you have it. I love him and that's all there is to it. He's not someone I would have even considered before (for many reasons)...and we couldn't love each other more.

  • manduh402@xanga

    hahaha this made me laugh.   i think it's generally true that you meet people when you look like crap...but in that case, i should have met 'the one'  a million times already!  haha

  • jzrocker@xanga

    Sooo true. I don't put too much work into my appearance and met my boo in my worst state. That's how I'd like it. Someone who'll love me not for what I look like, but for me.

  • XXVl@xanga

    hahahahahahahahaah I love it!
    ALWAYS ALWAYS...I run into the hottest of my acquaintances when I am oily and messy and hairy.
    Never when I'm prepared.

  • y_tc@xanga

    come on, get real. so that means guys need to look out for un prepare girls on the streets?

  • Kitzress@xanga

    This is probably the funniest blog I've ever read.  And it had a brilliant point, too!  Kudos!
