Over here at IFB, we’re big fans of getting personal on your blog. It helps foster a great relationship with your readers and builds a level of trust. So, I can trust you guys, right? I can tell you something personal and sort of – well – embarrassing? Maybe it’s embarrassing, but maybe (just maybe) it’s awesome?
Here it is: I am a living, breathing, single girl in New York City. Wait for it – that’s not the embarrassing part. I’m single, but only sort-of. You see, I think I’m dating my blog. That’s right. I’m pretty sure that this part of my life – the one that’s supposed to be filled by a very handsome, smart and funny human man – is currently occupied by my blog. Don’t believe me, here’s 20 reasons why I’m probably right:
- I think about it all the time. Especially before I fall asleep at night.
- We spend a lot of time together on weeknights. I’ll make us dinner and we’ll just hang out on the couch.
- We seem to get along better when I’m drinking wine.
- I get dressed up for it pretty much everyday.
- I tell people we met in Paris, not on the internet.
- Sometimes I’ll surprise my blog with a visit in the middle of the work day, just to say hi, because I miss it.
- My parents know my blog, and talk about it up to their friends and the rest of my family.
- I used to be sort of embarrassed about my blog. I didn’t think anyone would understand, so I kept it mostly to myself. As our relationship has grown, and I’ve molded it into something I’m wildly proud of, and I take it with me everywhere.
- We occasionally get in really dramatic fights; usually over it’s inability to do exactly what I say.
- When something really great happens, I tell my blog first.
- My friends without blogs tell me that I spend to much time with it, but I know it’s just because they don’t understand our relationship. And they’re jealous.
- I think my blog can tell I’m seeing other blogs, and has noticed that I give it less attention lately.
- I sacrifice spending time with my friends to spend time with my blog; after all, we’re trying to build a future together.
- I’m constantly reminding my blog that writing guest posts isn’t technically cheating.
- My blog has introduced me to so many great people, and if we ever break up, I hope they choose me.
- It’s pretty much all I talk about on Twitter.
- We’re official on Facebook.
- Not having a smart phone has ensured that I still have “me time” away from the world we share.
- Every time I think about breaking things off, something pulls me back in. Usually it’s shoes. Or jewelry.
- It may not be the biggest, most handsome, strongest and most popular blog out there, but it’s unique, it’s mine, and I love it.
So there you have it. I honestly can’t decide if this is totally amazing or totally therapy-worthy. My blog and I have been together for over two years now, and they’ve been some of the best years of my life. We’ve laughed, we’ve cried… We’ve been to Fashion Week. I suppose, while I search for a nice human man, the warm glow of Blogspot will have to suffice.



































This is hilarious! My blog is my boyfriend on the side…especially when my husband ticks me off…or it’s game night!
Way more entertaining then looking at the game!
This is beyond ridiculously true for me. And I’m married. I’m having an affair. Goodness. I hope my husband doesn’t notice.
hahaha. me too! oh my!
I know exactly what you mean! My blog is my boyfriend on the side, which I confess, causes me to neglect my human boyfriend all too often!
I never thought of it before but you are right… my blog is officially my boyfriend!!
Ohmygosh this is all painfully familiar. I have a real boyfriend as well and sometimes it’s difficult to distinguish which one is my ‘bit on the side’.
This is insanely cute. I love it.
This was a great article! I’ll pass it off as PASSION! Be it in the form of a male or a blog! I too wake up thinking about my blog an fall asleep to it as well!
