I’m 18 dates deeply in my own 50 Fat Dates quest.
As an advantage size girl in Australia i came across it hard to fulfill Aussie guys and finished up going to Hollywood to dip my toe within the deep end regarding the dating pool.
It worked! I finished up in a three-year relationship that was great, until it wasn’t so we split up and I also had been solitary once more.
New Year’s Eve rolled around I happened to be considering the approaching year. My fate was unavoidable. I experienced to haul myself right straight back on the horse that is dating put a chubby leg over. The only method this is planning to happen was myself a goal, a target or had a plan if I set.
We began thinking it through, “What if i recently did one date per week? ” seems doable. “If i did so that for a year I’d date 50 individuals. ” That’s huge! We persuaded myself through cliches, “It’s a true figures game. You’ve reached kiss some frogs. A teapot is had by every lid. ”
Along with that 50 Dates that is fat was.
Because I’m fat (duh) and I also had been happening 50 times.
Additionally, because plus size dating is just a taboo, because countless big girls (including me) have now been told they’re ‘too fat up to now, ’ because i needed to discover just what guys actually think of dating plus size ladies and because we necessary to place myself on the market!
Although based on the response I’m certain that could have been feasible. It’s an advantage size quest that is dating a sequence of sweaty one evening appears.
I’d been running my very own plus size we we blog, Big Curvy like, for many years therefore it ended up being a pretty wise solution to chronicle the 50 dates.

Valentines Day had been the time that is perfect begin. Yes, within my head this is a comedy that is real-life-romantic the generating and I also had been without a doubt would definitely have legit ‘meet cute’ just like within the films. Incorrect. If possibly I knew the thing that was waiting for you.
Casting an extensive internet had been my main concern. We tried internet dating, meetups, introductions, dating activities, big woman dance clubs, seminars, weddings, and networking mixers. I became additionally aiming for a cross section of males I always dated so I didn’t go after the same ‘type’ of guy.
Think about a silver fox, model kid, divorcee, solitary dad, white collar, blue collar, various countries, ethnicity and religions. When you’ve got 50 times to try out because of the a number of opportunities is very long. It had been shaping up to function as bloody Noah’s Ark of dating with one guy each and every ‘type. ’
Seriously however, I became in my own mid-thirties and ended up being searching for myself a man that is good in the place of sitting within my apartment wondering why I’m solitary and looking forward to anyone to come knocking to my home I made the decision to complete one thing about this.
Although, (spoiler alert) one of many 50 Fat Dates really did come knocking on my home. He had been a plumber delivered by the landlord to correct the bathroom. And then we finished up on a romantic date (he had been #17).
I happened to be catfished, stood up, and lied to numerous times. Yeah, not quite the romcom I happened to be longing for.
One man had a girlfriend and had been shopping for you to definitely ‘join the relationship’ (yes a threesome) another had a gf, (we just discovered whenever she tracked me straight straight down and delivered me an email with photographic proof warning me personally of their ‘ways’ and a warning that is thinly veiled of get off my guy).
There was clearly the sexy ex-military man turned comedian who lived together with his mum, the gun lover whom went me personally through exactly exactly just what he’d do in order to an intruder (taser them until they poop themselves await them to wake and taser them once more evidently), the super nice Spaniard (there was clearly no spark but we enjoyed the bottomless champagne and orange juice at brunch), additionally the lumbersexual we came across while shooting a film (he had been an exceptionally high hipster and I also wondered if he’d ever really sliced lumber).
Not every one associated with times had been horrendous. The guys that are good dated were a little center for the road without any spark.
Nope. No body freaked if they saw I happened to be fat in actual life along with my dating profile. Really, it was found by me quite simple up to now in l. A. A great deal easier compared to Australia.
All 18 times asked me down once more and I also truly broadened my perspectives whenever it stumbled on dating outside my ‘type’.
Mr Beverly Hills kinda broke me personally. He stated he had been 38 (he was 55). He stated he had been solitary (he’d been married 33 years). He stated he’d no young ones (he had three ). He stated he had been a house designer (he had been a CFO for a rapper well worth $820M).
We think there’s always see your face whom changes both you and he had been that for me personally.
I’ve been for a dating hiatus ever since and a whole lot changed in my own life but #18 is not likely to be the end. The pursuit of 50 Dates that is fat continues look out for date #19.
I’m returning to my ‘type’ to check out what goes on this time around.
