    Sleeping with Paris
    A Girl’s Guide to Dating like a Man in the City of Love
    by an Américaine in Paris
     
    Two days after finding out that my fiancé has been cheating on me through an online dating site, I sit here wondering how I got here. How did it come to this? If you’re a woman, you’ve probably had this exact experience. Okay, maybe you didn’t discover your fiancé’s online dating profile two days before you were supposed to move to Paris together, and have an online chat with the girl who he just slept with, but you’ve most likely found out one way or another that a man you loved has cheated on you with another woman. And you’re sick of it. You’re tired of the games. You want the next man who walks through your front door to be Mr. Right so you don’t have to keep putting yourself through all of this misery. So you keep on plugging away, hoping and dreaming that someday, somehow, there will be a man out there who loves you enough not to cheat on you.
    Well ladies, I’m here to tell you that it’s all one big crapshoot and we’ve been on the wrong end of the shoot. It’s time to turn the tables and take control of our lives.
    Goodbye Charlotte York. Hello Samantha Jones.
    If you’ve had enough and want to start having some fun, here are a few key rules:
    Rule # 1 – Cut ties with all cheating, desperate exes (switch continents if necessary) and find a rebound. Rebounds are key to getting over the dreaded ex.
    Would your ex be sitting around, eating chocolate and wondering what went wrong? No, he’d be out there finding his next victim. So, get your butt out of that cozy recliner, put down your self-help book, call your girlfriends and hit the town.
    Rule # 2 – It’s okay to make a fool out of yourself in front of a new guy since you don’t care anymore if he calls you the next day. Remember, you’re dating like a man here. Don’t call. Don’t expect a call. Avoid disappointment.  
    Case in point: Do I care that I pummeled straight into a hot, half-naked guy in the communal shower in my dorm, only to then spend the night out with him and his friends, get way too drunk, cry to him on the way home about my cheating fiancé, and then proceed to make out with him in my bedroom only minutes later? No, I don’t. Because I don’t need him to call me tomorrow or the next day, or the day after that. The old me would’ve been mortified, but really, who cares? I may never see this guy again.
    So, go all out. And if you end up making a mockery of yourself, at least have fun doing it. Because, and repeat after me: “It doesn’t matter if he calls me tomorrow, and actually, I’d prefer if he didn’t so I can go out and keep having fun.”
    Rule # 3 – All guys are sketchy, so don’t get worked up about his other girlfriends or weird phone calls. Just use him for a kiss . . . or more . . . and call it a night.
    Case in Point: While out with Half-Naked French Hottie tonight, he bolted from the table to answer a mysterious phone call, then mentioned nothing about it when he came back.
    It could be completely innocent. Or not.
    He may have a girlfriend. He may have a wife. He may have several of them. But, in the end, none of that matters when you are out to whoop it up and have a good time. Let the man screw up his life however he wishes, because you’re out there to date like a man. And that means no overanalyzing and no caring if the dude you happen to be out with seems to have other priorities. Guys are sketchy, and that’s all the more reason not to fall in love with one.
    Rule # 4 – And finally, if you do switch continents as suggested in Rule # 1 above, you may find yourself feeling scared and utterly alone, which, in turn, may make you want to call your ex. After all, you did have a lot of wonderful times
