#100cupsofcoffee // mr. little πŸƒπŸ»

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.

I follow a lot of dating coaches on social media. Because of that I do a lot of A/B testing to see what works and what doesn't. So far nothing has worked, but that's not the point. LOL My current experiment is to give a match my phone number if the conversation is easy and pleasant. Because I KNOW that even if I'm chatting with someone in the app, I'm distracted by the ability to swipe. Let's get off the apps and see how it goes.

Not every cup can be an entire pot. Here are my newest espresso shots from November 2021 to present. ☕️ I've been calling my first date with someone, date 0. Quick 2 hours or less meet and greet. Do we want to see each other again? Yes? Date 1 commence!

"I've never seen Harry Potter, is that why I'm still single?!" What an opening line for someone reaching out to a woman with a Deathly Hallows tattoo. At least he knew where it came from!

I woke up on a Wednesday morning, pay day! I grabbed my cup of coffee and sat down on the couch to pay my bills. Adulting complete, I turn to check Instagram. I have a message. An indecent proposal.

taking notes after a date πŸ“

Writing and journaling has always had a special place in my heart. It helps me hold space to reflect and analyze my thoughts in the moment and more importantly, later down the road. This has been extremely helpful dating these past 18 months. Looking back on 2021, there were so many things I read time and time again that I need to move to the fore front of my thinking.

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.
