The Best of Dating Confessions - Nerve.com

getting around

In the past week, you confessed and we listened. Unlike your priest, however, we're not judging. The absolution of the Nerve Dating Confessions is inherent; you let it all hang out. You were also funny, honest, and raw.

Here's the best and worst, the highest and lowest in the week that was:

June 19 2009, 07:02 p.m.
"I dumped a guy with the words, "We have to back the truck up." It was not what I had rehearsed...at all."

June 20 2009, 11:06 a.m.
"At 26 I have trouble initiating a first kiss. The only times I've been able to do it easily are when seated or with someone of comparable height. If she's 5'2" and 3 inches away, the geometry is mindboggling."

June 20 2009, 08:20 p.m.
"What the hell kind of fuck buddy are you if you don't show up and fuck me?"

June 21 2009, 12:52 a.m.
"Your polite, fake laugh pisses me off."

June 21 2009, 05:06 a.m.
"'Confidence' is not some sort of panacea for dating difficulties. Sometimes, lack of confidence may be the problem, but frequently, lack of confidence is just a symptom of a bigger problem in dealing with people. So please stop with the easy, "You just need to be more confident!" advice, okay?"

June 21 2009, 09:34 p.m.
"If I hear the phrase, “He's/she's just not that into you." one more time, I'm getting a shotgun."

June 22 2009, 02:28 a.m.
"A tip on what not to hum on a first date: O.P.P."

June 22 2009, 06:46 a.m.
"You give head like a nun, who should stay a nun."
