I'm no Patti Stanger

I am seriously no Patti Stanger. For poeple who don't know who that is, she's the star of the show "Millionaire Matchmaker" who pairs millionaires up with either another millionaire or someone who is genuine.

I don't know what it is, but all, well not all, but some of my guy friends think that I'm a matchmaker. Two of my guy friends went through my Facebook friends and asked me about girls that they thought were cute. Another one got mad and asked me why I never set a girl that he thought was cute up with him. Well, guys let me tell you this: not girls are matchmakers. And if we do decide to take part in matchmaking, we thoroughly think it through. Or at least I do. I mean, don't get me wrong, I enjoy thinking about some of my friends getting together, but

I'm serious guys... don't assume that girls are always going to pair you up. When I think of a perfect girl for my guy friend or vice-versa, I will let you know. And honestly, it shows that your desperate. It's hard having your best guy friend get over a girl that he dated for years, always asking you of someone that he can pair you up with. Or my other friend, who quite frankly is more of a family acquaintance now, asking me who a girl is and WHEN I can set him up with said friend. Ugh. I'm sorry.

This all just annoyed me and I had to get it out. But, basically what I am trying to say is guys: when you ask you girl friend(s) to pair you up with someone all the time it just shows that you are flat out desperate and it might even question our friendship with you.

The Bachelor...

Oh how everyone was in love with Jake! I was for sure, well, I was more smitten with him and I thought he was everything that most of us girls wanted (myself included). He seemed like an all-American guy who really wanted to find love and eventually a wife. And someone tell me, what makes pilots so darn attractive? I agree, that they are, but I just don't know why there are! But, I mean look at Jake! Isn't he adorable?!

Well, the finale was this Monday and it probably had to be the most nerve-racking Bachelor for me. One minute I thought and hoped that it was Tenley and the next minute I thought it was going to be Vienna. Not cool ABC!

I'm a huge fan of Tenley. I thought was so cute when she said her name was like the number 10! So cute and memorable on the first night of meeting Jake! I thought she was adorable. She seemed full of life and wanted Jake to be a part of that and more important wanted her to be life "teammate". And when Jake met her parents and vice-versa, it just seemed to be great to me! I was hoping for a Tenley and Jake finale. I thought it would have just been perfect. I do have to applaud Tenley for going back in to the field after what seemed to not be a great divorce. What a great thing you did and I hope you brought some of the women who were in the same situation as you to get up and go out and find someone. America loves you Tenley and you will find someone who loves you for all of you! And, you have the majority of American rooting for you to find love. You will find someone! At least I think so.

Right from the bat, I didn't like Vienna. She seemed to immature for Jake and someone who was just in it to be on television. I mean, the girl asked right away when she first met him if she can feels a guys abs. Um, awkward much. I wouldn't have like that if I were Jake. Throughout the show, when she got into tiffs with some of girls, the I-Don't-Like-This-Girl meter went up even higher. Then, when I started reading the tabloids, I didn't even like her even more. But, I probably should remember that that's the tabloids wanting a story. And when the hometowns came along and her mom said that she has been having girl problems for long time... hello another red flag!

As much as I am a "Team Tenley" girl, the thing is: what we see on The Bachelor is not everything. It's only a glimpse of what actually went on. When I was watching the show, I had a sneaky feeling that it was going to be Vienna. The only time it fooled me was when Jake had both rings in his hands and put the princess cut one down. (Real Bachelor fans know which one is which, but you can check out the picture that I made.) I got really excited because this meant that it was Tenley. Leave it to the Producers of The Bachelor to throw me for yet another loop.

However, looking back on it, Jake was in love with both and he wanted to find love and a wife. I guess he found one. The show didn't really show Vienna in the best light, but, after reading an interview on E! I was not that disgusted with Jake's choice. At least it seems like they have the same values and I can totally see him wanting a wife who wants to be a stay at home mom. I mean, it could have been really bad, he could have picked crazy Michelle! Looking at the photo that is on the fan page for The Bachelor on Facebook, Vienna and Jake look happy. And, that's what Jake wanted.

Let's face it though: no one from The Bachelor, not The Bachelorette, has ever married the person that they proposed to on the show or even dated after the show. So, maybe history will repeat itself? Looking at the track record, I think so.

This probably was the most controversial Bachelor in a long time. Let's not forget about Rozlyn, Jake sending Michelle home before the rose ceremony, and of course, Ali having to choose between Jake or her job.

I do have to say, I am quite excited that Ali is going to be the new Bachelorette. New Trista? I sure hope so. I see a lot of myself in her (I probably would have chose my job too if I were her!) and I can't wait to see the 25 guys in May! Although, anyone who didn't see her becoming the new Bachelorette is kinda blind, they already had her doing publicity like The Ellen Show.

Oh, and let's not forget, we'll get to see Jake show his moves on this season's Dancing With Stars. Crossover ABC... I think so. Maybe we'll see Vienna in the audience (most likely if she seems like the girl who wants to be on TV) or maybe the now "friend if Vienna allows it", Tenley will be there to support Jake too? I don't think he'll last that long unless he's a really good dancer because most people are still upset with his choice of Vienna, so Jake will have to win over America again. Although, he did show off his moves with Tenley several times. Hey ABC! Put Tenley as his dancer! That will definitely spice things up!

What did you guys think of The Bachelor? Are you happy with Jake's choice or not? Do you think Vienna and Jake will last? Are they the new Trista and Ryan? (I don't think they will be, but that's my opinion!) What do you think about Ali being the new Bachelorette? Who else do you think it should have been if it wasn't Ali?

Googling Love

I never thought that the majority of my posts on here would be about love. Which is weird because I'm nowhere near a relationship whatsoever. It's interesting what happens when you Google the word Love.

I think my favorite thing that comes up on Google is the second one the Love Calculator. Don't you think that it would be so easy to calculate love? I mean, everything else is a calculation, so why can't love be? When I was taking my human sexuality class I learned that there are six different types of loving. I can't remember what the one where basically everything that you calculate the pros and cons is called, but that's actually one of them. I am a type of person that considers love to be there, but the person that I love has to have things in common with me and we just have to fit. It's not that I don't have a checklist and that I am weighing the good and bad things but things just have to click. So yes, I do think there is a chance of a calculation of love and relationships, but you can't really calculate if there is "the chance on a successful relationship between two people".

Another one that I find interesting on Google... the wikiHow on love. Love is different for everyone. There's no way that everyone can love the same. That's what is so unique about love, no one can EVER love the same way.

What do you think about love? Do you agree or disagree? Have you ever been in love, because honestly, I don't think I have.
