Like all good things (real croissants, volume control, Céline with the é), it all started in Paris. I had just finished my MA program and was cruising through my second year of expat life in the City of Love. A Russian-born New Yorker and incessant daydreamer, I anticipated long Seine walks, picturesque Normandy weekends, and languid coffees sipped on Haussmann balconies. Instead, all I got was a sequence of hygiene-challenged French hipsters whose definition of romance seemed limited to sporadically changing their sheets. In fact, the French seemed to reject “dating” as a concept, resulting in a series of ridiculous incidents begging for cathartic release. One day, I began writing them down, and Dbag Dating was born.
Five years and one move back to New York later, Dbag Dating is more than just a dating disaster chronicle. It is a personal journal, a collection of ever-changing theories, a multi-cultural dating directory and an invitation to share your romantic misadventures. Above all, it is a petition to enjoy life in all of its bizarre glory, no matter how much chaos it flings your way. Pick yourself up by the bootstraps, brush yourself off and keep on going– because your next adventure is right around the corner!
I’m so happy to have found your blog! I’m the only single lady if all my close friends and I think I am their living dbagdating.com. Constant entertainment at my sad dating life’s expense! Thank you for sharing!
You should visit Seattle for a few months. Oh, the stories that you’ll tell… :/
Hi dbagdating,
I’m John, Marketing manager at Penelopes Promise.
I’ve been a long time lurker around your blog, but recently came across, Blog and really enjoyed it. and was wondering if you’d be interested in me writing a guest post about couples gifting.
I’d like to submit a well-researched and focused article for your blog, something that will help your blog flourish and also include a link back to our site.
Let me know if you’re interested.
Thanks,
John
Oymgsh! This blog was made for me😂🤷🏽♀️💪🏼
I am trying so hard to figure out this path to my German man’s heart. We both “logically” agree we were created a match. Has to be logical because it is the German man way of course. BUT my amazing German man has been betrayed three times and is broken, and needs to heal before we can move closer. He is 52 looking 30, and I am 41 looking 25 according to most but our bodies are aging appropriately broken 😂. Oymgsh HELLLLLLLP me. He wants no “heart things” yet and has chosen to be boytoy to an open marriage mistress (at least BEFORE meeting me), so how, when, why, omg 😱?? International long-distance pair we are with several pending trips planned. We met in Amsterdam following a two month internet text life.
I would like to meet a nice German guy. What dating site should I use
I met this french guy online and I really like him because he obviously said he really likes me. He said multiple times he enjoys talking to me and he always asked if I enjoyed talking to him. We talked a lot.
So I asked if he wanted to exchange numbers so we did. We started texting a lot and he asked if I was serious about getting to know each other and all that cause if I was then it can only be him and no one else and I said yes. Same to him. So he was excited and he asked what I was looking for in a man and he thought it all checked off for what kind of guy he is. He said he likes a serious woman and that I’m a serious woman. He asked if I wanted to come to France or if I wanted him to come here to the US and I said I wanted him to come to me. He said he will come to me then and he really wants to see me.
We talked on the phone for the first time cause we both had time to do it. He wanted to video chat but I couldn’t at that time. So we talked and he said stuff like “One day I will come to the US and see you. I promise you i will” and gave me all kinds of sweet compliments and we talked about his job and all that. Right before we ended the call he said hes going to sleep good tonight cause he got to hear my voice and he likes my voice and my laugh. He texted me a few gifs as a sign he was falling in love with me lol
So, everything was amazing. His birthday was a couple days after that but I kinda forgot but I didnt wanna text him because he wasn’t online and I was waiting for him to text me. The last text I sent was just kisses but he didnt respond to it and that was when we ended our call cause he had to sleep.
So I noticed I’d see he was on and off the other app (not a dating app) a social app. But he wasn’t on whatsapp. It kinda hurt my feelings a bit cause I addressed it a couple of times but I guess he didn’t really understand what I was talking about cause his english isn’t that great and some words he just doesnt understand. But he said he had his exam but its finished now. So he was basically saying he was busy with an exam. I’m not sure if he was talking to other women on the app or if he would just check it and then log off cause he wasnt on for that long but what bothered me was that he had time to check the app but not check me. So, I kinda got over it but then he was still taking a day or two just to respond to me and not saying much but when I told him “So if you’re not interested in me anymore and there’s someone else then just say it. Don’t lead me on.” And his response was “I really want know you more” and I read his text but I haven’t responded. It’s been almost a week and I guess I’m waiting for him to say something to me but I don’t know. I really do like him but I’m scared he might not be genuine but at the same time I don’t really know. I guess I just need some advice and whether or not I should say something because I do really like him and if he does really like me I don’t want him to think I don’t like him cause I do. I just don’t know what to do. I’ve never been in a relationship or anything so I don’t know what I should and shouldn’t say or do 🙁
