I am so happy to announce that I married my best friend on October 6, 2024 in Denver, Colorado. I am excited to continue to live an amazing life with them right beside me. Up first? Getting us into his first San Diego Comic Con! The Nerdy Girlie is back baby! See you at registration on Saturday the 26th!
100 Cups Of Coffee is my journey through divorce, dating & self-discovery.
My single journey began in 2015 when I decided to leave my husband & again when Ocean Eyes broke up with me in May 2020. It all feels like forever ago. The ghosts of a life in transition.
The days since have brought all the self-love. I'm proud of where I am, guided by therapy, and a newfound self-awareness. Boundaries in place, may the odds be ever in my favor.
I’ve never been someone who swipes on looks or height alone. Do I want to feel a general attraction to that first photo, yes. We all have our preferences. Does the height matter to me? Nope. You heard it here. If you’re confident, I’ll buy what you are selling.
Mr. Little was just that.

My first heartbreak since the summer of 2021, here we go.
The Repeat and I met in June of 2021. I was feeling sad over Rocketman. We had a nice first date, coffee, walking and talking on a perfect sunny summer Sunday. But we never reached back out to each other. Flash forward to February 2022 I see him again on Hinge and I’m pretty proud of my cheeky re-intro.

I get into dating phases where I push myself too much. As an Enneagram 2 “The Helper” I sometimes forget to to take care of myself more than others.
Buffalo Bill and I matched on Hinge December 18th, 2021. He talked a LOT about his documentary, gave me LA vibes, he even sent it for me to watch.
Flash forward to January 8th he finally asks me out. But for the same day. I’m not a fan of showing I’m available last minute even if I am, so I suggest the following day.

Can Megan fall in love in 3 sentences? Is Pisces a fish?! ♓️
This summer a person I never went on a date with suggested: How To Not Die Alone: The Surprising Science That Will Help You Find Love. I had an epiphany. I love behavioral science. I'm planning on reading it a second time once the Libby app makes it available for my Kindle, but seriously I should just purchase it. LOL I suggest it to everyone navigating dating.
My favorite takeaway from the book was The Post Date 8. 8 questions to ask yourself after a date.

After Wooly Willy I did my typical line 'um up and knock 'em down dating strategy. This time 5 dates in 1 week…yeah. Just don’t. blasé was the 4th date and I just couldn't do it and we ended up rescheduling.
Date 1. Late. (come to find out he lives a block away and waiting until I arrived to walk over) He doesn't ask me many questions, but he has such an amazing smile and we joke about this VERY drunk dude. I leave thinking 🤔. We high five and I start my walk back home. I love walking my neighborhood. 😍
Date 2. Late again. I still feel like 🤷🏻♀️, but it isn’t horrible so we go to a 2nd spot for a glass of 🍷. He drops me off afterwards and we end the night on a passionate note. CANCEL EVERYONE ELSE!!!!🔥

But make it tea. 2020 has been the year of never ending 1st dates. Did J3 jinx me? My birthday rolls around and I’m deep in a dry spell. Mid-March hits and I find myself eye rolling time and time again. Hinge, over it. Coffee Meets Bagel, not great. Fine Bumble I’ll give you a go. 🐝 Swipe, left, left, left, left. Repeat until forever. Then I stop in my tracks. Cute smile! I smile back to myself! Let's read the bio shall we? I LOL, lots of head nods. SWIPE RIGHT! Finally... We match!

I’ve not wanted to write this cup for 6 months now. I didn’t think I would ever share it. But after watching the last episode of The Bachelorette where Katie shared her truth, I was inspired to share mine.
3 weeks after my last text from J3, I was still not over him. I jumped back on Coffee Meets Bagel anyway. I quickly matched with Dr. Who and he got flirty real fast. Sending topless photos, sexy texts the same day I matched with him. I was excited that we had an online “spark” and couldn’t wait to meet him in person. I already knew I wanted to have sex with him.

This is going to be a doozy so buckle in!!

A week after my most resent ghosting, I was ready to give it another go. To my surprise, Hinge presented me with someone I recognized. Back in July we had an amazing conversation on Match for almost two hours. Ending with him giving me his phone number. I was still waiting on numéro un deuxième partie, who had by this point ghosted me. I was trying to move on, so I texted Match the following morning. Nothing. 🤷🏻♀️

Ok here we go eharmony time. THAT is where people are serious right? Inspired by Ocean Eyes' sister and brother in law, #relationshipgoals, I decided to get serious on the site. Back in July when I signed up, there was one person out of all my matches that I wanted to talk to. One. But I couldn’t message that ONE until I paid and in July I wasn’t ready to commit to that.
I did my 100 days/cups of not dating and then I was ready. $237.24 later, I was able to message him. We hit it off right away and set up a virtual date on the site. This was my first date with a stranger in 5 years! WOW! So you can guess it was a little awkward. Lots of long pauses. The background of his house wasn’t too clean. But he was super cute and in the end we decided to meet in person.
He spoke with his friends to find a good recommendation and sent me the time and place! Bravo.👏🏼

Let’s give this a go. Again.
Hi, I’m Megan Elvrum! ☕
I started blogging in 2012.
Somewhere along the way, it turned into something bigger than I expected… a space for rebuilding, growth, and figuring out who you are when everything changes.
Now, all these years later, I’m self-publishing my first novel Musical Awakening.
Thank you for being here! 💖
