My Mom: The Ultimate Dating Guru

Ah, my mom. The woman who taught me how to ride a bike, bake cookies, and navigate the tricky waters of dating—well, sort of. Remember those awkward teenage years when I’d come home after a date, and she’d be waiting with her infamous popcorn and a million questions? Let’s just say I didn’t always get the advice I was looking for.

The One Who Knows Best

You see, my mom thinks she has the answers to everything. "Honey, just be yourself," she says, while I’m secretly thinking, "But Mom, have you seen my dating profile?" Bless her heart, she means well, but sometimes her advice comes straight from the School of Hard Knocks.

Remember that one time I brought a date home for the first time? My mom prepared an entire PowerPoint presentation on why I should only date chiropractors.

Dating Tips from the Queen of Awkward

1. Don’t call him too soon.

• Translation: Wait exactly three days and then text him at 3:14 PM to maintain your mystique.

1. Always look your best.

• Sure, my mom, but I don’t have the energy to look like a supermodel while keeping my emotions in check.

1. Never let him see you sweat.

• Too late for that when I’m trying to remember if I left the oven on while pretending to enjoy a fancy dinner.

confessions of a dating Rookie

I swear, if it weren’t for my mom, I’d probably still be using the same cheesy pickup lines I learned in high school. "Are you a magician? Because whenever I look at you, everyone else disappears!" My mom taught me to be charming, but maybe she didn’t mean that kind of charm.

Yet, somehow, her silly tips and tricks have gotten me through the most awkward moments. Like that one time I fumbled my drink all over my crush. Thanks, Mom, for making me practice my ‘graceful recovery’ moves!
