#NerdsUnite: Holy cow, @itsunbeweavable
<editorsnote> Nerds, meet my buddy Liz. She's an interFASHIONal badass currently working in the social space. She's super passionate about all things hair, and my or may not be sweating while she is tweeting. Wait, no - that came out wrong ... I mean chicks sweat and all, but dudes don't really want to know that ... they just think we "glisten." I don't mean to still be talking - shut up Jen. HIT IT LIZ!! </editorsnote>
#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @itsunbeweavable
Hello lovers.
Let's get the boring stuff out of the way, shall we? I'm Liz, I live in LA, and I'm reality show watching, baileys on ice drinking, shower singing nerd.
Why so nerdy?
Like a good lil nerd, I work in social media, most specifically blogging for and pimping out We Love Dates, a worldwide online dating site. Yep, worldwide. So if you have a thing for a guy with an accent, this just might be your lucky day.
I met my boyfriend online, which I don't care what anyone says, will always be a bit weird to say at family functions. Like, my grandma will never really understand online dating and attempting to explain the whole thing always turns awkward, because while she has no idea what email is, she's certainly seen To Catch A Predator on Dateline NBC quite a few times.
Anyway, I love the guy. I had been on a ton of online dates, and was getting pretty frustrated with the whole thing. But I've been a smitten kitten from the moment we met in person, and our relationship makes my job writing about online dating easy...I'm like a damn walking online dating commercial. It's probably really annoying to be my friend.
That's not to say all of my experiences have been all unicorns and butterflies. Quite the contrary, so I hope y’all will commiserate with me when I share some of the worst. Sharing is caring.
This brings us to reason #56733 why I'm a nerd. I say “y’all” in blog posts, and I'm a born and raised half Colombian California girl. It's completely ridiculous, but I can't stop.
Sidenote-When my boyfriend and I were going through those lovely early circle jerk phases of dating-you know, where you tend to turn a bit psycho and panic “why hasn't he texted me back for six minutes, should I text him and ask if he's ok?”* I would jump in my car and drive around West Hollywood playing one specific Taylor Swift song over and over and OVER and singing my anxiety ridden lil heart out.
So, I mean, obviously I'm a catch.
*It's never ok to text a guy who isn't responding and ask if he's ok. He's fine. Put your phone down and pick up a glass of wine instead.
Let's have some fun-I'm looking forward to getting all kinds of nerdy with ya'll. In the mean time, check We Love Dates out on Twitter and Facebook for more of my complete over-shares.
