Gift Scrap Blog

I talk amongst my girlfriends everyday, discussing the scenarios that go along with any relationship. In our group of friends, we first started off with manners and compassion, trying to say the right thing and be as supportive as possible. Our faces full of sympathy and our ears open to any situation; we were there for each other. However, in the back our minds, we always knew that our friends were going to do what they wanted to do no matter what.

After years of dating ups and downs, such as animalistic passion turning into brotherly love, the “it’s not you, it’s me,” and everything in between, we have changed our tame tune to a more “in your face” approach. Instead of playing the “I’m here for you, no matter what you decide” card, we have decided to play a different hand and just lay it all on the line. Now, this doesn’t mean that we don’t care about our friends’ romantic woes; we are just shooting straight to the point. So, for all of you out there who feel that you are better off if you “learn from your own mistakes,” get over yourselves. Take this opportunity to learn from some of ours.

From time to time on the “I Give a Scrap” blog, I will give dating/relationship scenarios and possible outcomes.  Think of it as a mixture of  VH1′s “Tough Love” mixed with a dash of “Million Dollar Matchmaker” meets “Dear Abby.”

All these situations will be rated with a “Desirability” and “Reality” score.  “Desirability” meaning what you want to happen and “Reality” being what really is going to come of it.

Feel free to suggest scenarios or topics of discussion.

Happy reading love birds!
