Freshly baked cupcakes


Saccharine: 1.of the nature of or resembling that of sugar: a powdery substance with a saccharine taste.
2.containing or yielding sugar.
3.very sweet to the taste; sugary: a saccharine dessert.
4.cloyingly agreeable or ingratiating: a saccharine personality.
5.exaggeratedly sweet or sentimental: a saccharine smile; a saccharine song of undying love.


You know her. The girl clinging to her boyfriend's arm smiling from ear to ear and going "Ohhh honey. Oh I love you. Oh you're so sweet." Meanwhile you're watching from the side thinking, "Ohh, I want to vomit."


I have coined a phrase for this girl: the cupcake.


The cupcake isn't just the girl who marvels at her boyfriend in a sickeningly sweet way, although she epitomizes the phrase. Cupcakes are also girls who just get all sugary or melt when they are with that guy they like.


If you haven't deduced this from my tone, I'm not a fan of the cupcake.


Being cute and in love can be cute and lovely. But, taking it to extremes where you're, well, saccharine, is gross for everyone involved, including your boyfriend. Everyone likes to eat just one cupcake but too many and you're sick to your stomach.


Chill out around the guy you like or better yet, are dating. I've learned that guys usually like girls who can kick it with them and be real; not ones who marvel at their ability to smile or watch TV or do things that normal human beings do.


If you get too sweet, he might start walking all over you thinking he can have his cake and eat it, too.


Love freely,

tY
