She's Not That Into You


Have you ever met someone and had such a great chemistry that it felt like you had known each other forever? I ask this, because a little while back I met a guy from an online dating site and we had such a great time together. Even though I was forty minutes late (That was the night I realized people weren’t joking about traffic being horrible in LA. Didn’t help that I got lost too.) and we were the only people at the bar it didn’t feel awkward.

The thing was he was a bit heavier than his pictures looked and he looked a few years older than he said he was. My type is usually thin and tall; he was short and a little overweight. I really liked his personality, but I just wasn’t physically attracted to him. I was hoping (as I stupidly do too often) that if I hung out with him more that I would eventually become attracted to him. After four more dates it become obvious that he really liked me and I was just not that into him.

He would be a great male friend, but he said he didn’t want to just be friends and so we are back to being strangers shopping for love online.

Dating Blows


For those of you who stumbled upon this site after a google search for something related or unrelated to this page, welcome. If you are a follower of Love Bites (http://summerpeterson.blogspot.com) welcome as well. This blog was created because dating in Los Angeles is like an urban myth. The men here are all characters; some good, some bad and some so terrible that I'm seriously considering never dating again.


I hadn’t completely given up on love yet, so six months ago after breaking up with my fiancĂ© (it would take a lifetime to explain why, so I won’t), I followed my heart and moved across the country to Los Angeles, the place where dreams come true and love is in the air, or so I thought. A few stories about our relationship were documented over the years on the Love Bites blog. We were on and off for eight years which like most relationships ended quite horribly. Like Taylor Swift and any one of her exes we too are never ever getting back together.

Turns out happily ever after stories were created by writers who tend to find love in the form of alcohol, drugs, caffeine or sugar.  So here I am living in the Hollywood Hills thinking that if Lauren Conrad can find love here so can I. Turns out reality television is less truthful and less hopeful than Days of our Lives.
