"There&amp;#039;s a lot I&amp;#039;m loving about being single, like going out more and wearing whatever I want (who says harem pants aren&amp;#039;t sexy?!), but actually dating has been challenging! I&amp;#039;ve met some really great guys (like the one I went out with a couple weeks ago!), but it&amp;#039;s the not-so great ones that make dating seem exhausting and not worth the effort. I was with my ex for a while and now, it seems like everything about dating has changed! I get the whole texting instead of calling thing, but now guys flirt by leaving witty Instagram comments or Snapchatting me. And I can&amp;#039;t even tell you how many people have asked me for my Keek. What in the world is a keek?! Call me old fashioned, but I prefer face-to-face conversations. What frustrates me even more is the lack of chivalry. I don&amp;#039;t want a guy to text me at 10 p.m. asking if I want to come over to &amp;quot;hang out.&amp;quot; I want to go on an actual date where food is involved! Is that really asking too much? By 10 p.m., I&amp;#039;m already in bed watching Clueless on Netflix. And everyone knows &amp;quot;hang out&amp;quot; is just code for hook up. I told one guy that his approach was disrespectful and even unoriginal. He was so embarrassed that he apologized repeatedly. All was forgiven, but now he knows not to text me past 9 p.m.!  Am I the only one who finds dating exhausted? Let me know your dating woes! Brooklyn Brooklyn blogs about dating for Seventeen every Thursday. Read her blog from last week here!
