12 Struggles of Dating a Girl Who Hates Cheesy Sh*t

Holidays, birthdays, and pretty much all other momentous occasions are a nightmare to plan when you're dating a cynic. She's quick to shut down grand gestures and is only selectively romantic when she sees fit. It's not that she totally hates the idea of love, but she strongly dislikes inauthentic displays of affection. It's hard to determine what she'd find corny or appropriate, but at least she's not expecting those outrageous surprises that people seem to be constantly trying to outdo. If this sounds like somebody you're dating, you'll understand the 12 struggles ahead all too well.
