Google Didn't Know

With all the tracking that Google does, you would expect that Google would be one of the first things to realize that you have a girlfriend, especially with the crazy amount of transparency I give it. To be honest, I assumed that Google would tell me with advertisements filled with engagement rings, jewelry, flowers, and creative gift ideas for women.

But it didn't. I still receive ads about online dating (whether that be for Asian, Black, married, Christian women). I've sent so many signals about being single and lonely throughout my life that it may take a while for Google to be confident that I'm no longer single; or Google knows something that I don't... 

So when did I realize that I was no longer single? Well, I had a dedicated phone charger that I could not use because I don't have an Apple Lightning device. There were hairpins everywhere around my apartment just like half filled water glasses. 

I had to worry about which toothbrush to use as there was one more than I was used to. Maybe it was the increased frequency of laundry I was doing (more boxers, shirts, shorts, towels, women clothes than before). It could have been the number of times I took out the bathroom trash out; it went from once a year to about every two weeks. But the most exponential increase has to be the toilet paper; I went from a roll per 3 months or so to what seems to be a roll a day. But enough of the significant changes in the bathroom.

The fridge had food and drink that I would never have possessed in my bachelor life. Coconut water, pho broth, onions (that filler food), and tons of ice cream.  

But while those things are noticeable, none of those things made me realize I had a girlfriend. I realized when I wanted to spend every waking and dreaming second with her. I could be at work and accidentally call a co-worker "babe" because I'm constantly thinking about my babe (I sort of have to since I'm her external hard drive for her life). I realized I had a girlfriend when I wanted to consciously wake up from my sleep to see her beautiful face. But it's not just because how pretty she is, she warms my heart and makes me see the world in a brighter light like no other. While waking up to her in the same bed is the best feeling, walking into my apartment with her there (mostly unexpectedly) definitely comes in a close second.

We can be doing the most mundane activities like running errands and I'll still love it. To be honest, before this relationship, I thought people were lying about this just to make themselves feel better about their relationship. But if you find that right person, everything is so easy and lively. Seriously, who works at a restaurant on their day off in order to just be with someone?! Even though it takes about six attempts, I absolutely love watching her dress up in the morning; she's so damn beautiful. 

Maybe with this post, Google will finally realize that I have a girlfriend.

Note: I guess Google wasn't invasive enough to figure this out.

But somehow Amazon did...
