Hands down craziest solo date I've ever been on was going to the nude beach in New Jersey, okay? Like, I was going on a lot of solo dates that summer and I heard about this nude beach and I'm like, you know what? If anyone in my life would do something like this, it's me. So I took my book, my picnic blanket, and I'm picturing Euro summer, you know, a little topless moment, like, free, like, young hos run free, whatever. When I got there, I probably had five minutes to myself before old guys were coming up to me. I mean, granted, no one there is under the age of 70. So I was already sticking that out like a sore thumb. That was the kind of place that I was hoping that like, if everyone's new, then like no one's gonna look at me. But the age thing did, yeah, I was like the only young girl on that beach and everyone was looking at me. I do, like, shame fears them. Like this was clearly a community too. I was stepping into their space. So honestly, I can only say so much before I'm like, you know what? I was in waters that maybe I shouldn't have been playing in. Like, they were being normal. Everyone was talking to each other like, have you met my friend Tom? Have you met Jerry? I'm like, dude, no, clearly this is my first time. Clearly this is my first time. What? Uh, just let me read and act like I'm not here. Um, but there was this one guy who kept on coming up to me and he wanted to play frisbee so bad. This man would not let me live. He would not let me live. And, um, finally on like the second hour, I decided to take my bottoms off. I was like, we're gonna play frisbee to the metal. Listen, your girl came to the nude beach, she's pushing the limits, okay? So I remember I took this big shell and I and I plopped it on myself and I was taking a, like a, artful little picture, whatever. I was finally left alone. And, um, homie comes up to me and he's like, you ready to play frisbee? And I was like, you got to be kidding me. I'd be lying if I said that I declined. I took the shell off and I was like, you know what? One time for the one time. I'm never gonna see these people again. No one ever has to know about this unless I choose to share it with people. And, uh, wow. Let me tell you, you can't buy anything. You can't buy anything that comes close to the feeling of chasing a frisbee, running through the sand and just feeling wind in parts that have never felt the breeze like that. Crazy, crazy. 10 out of 10 experience. The only reason I'll give it an A out of 10 is because like, really like, you're walking on their turf and they're like, who are you? And like, what do you do for work? Like, can we go swim or something? Can you go soak up the sun? But it was a crazy story and honestly, I tell all my friends that they should do it at least once. Skip seaside, skip LBI, go there with a friend, take your top off. I don't know. Just live a little, live a little. But yeah, crazy.
