This week we are more than delighted to be sitting with fashion model Kym Dickens!  We have been admiring Kym’s modeling work for quite some time and luckily we were able squeeze into her schedule to talk about past relationships and dating….

So Kym, let’s jump right in….. tell me about one of the crummiest things a boyfriend has ever done to you?

I would have to say one of the worst things a boyfriend ever did to me was forget my birthday.  I was turning 18 and he not only forgot my birthday, he invited himself to go eat with me and DIDN’T tell me happy birthday and he made me pay for BOTH of our meals.  Then he had the nerve to ask me why I was in such crappy mood.

So this brings up a an interesting conversation I had with a female friend the other day.  She was telling me how she doesn’t take chances with a guy forgetting her birthday, she makes it a point when she  is seeing someone to say things like “My birthday is a month away” and “Only 14 days until my birthday!”.  And if the guy doesn’t remember her birthday after all those reminders, he’s doesn’t deserve to date her… or anyone else for that matter! LOL!  

So tell me about some of the most memorable “bad dating experiences” you have endured? 

Let’s see…. so my boyfriend hated my best friend of 8 years and was super jealous when I hung out with her.  I also had a crazy boyfriend that broke 3 of my phones…..in a 2 week period of time.   I had a boyfriend that would tell me I couldn’t go see my sister.   Oh and one boyfriend that didn’t like me looking nice when we went out together because “guys would look at me”.   So I guess you can say I have had my fair share of duds in my life!

So it sounds like you have had your fair share of the “jealous and controlling” types.   I find often tell women that there are always signs that a guy has a this tendency, and that women have got to recognize them and stand their ground when there is an attempt at being controlled by a guy.    Because it gradually gets worse as the relationship grows and it becomes extremely difficult to get out the longer you are subjected to this type of behavior.    

So have you ever done something to get back at a guy that wronged you? 

I would be lying if I said I NEVER did anything to get back at an ex, because I have.
I found out on bf was cheating on me because the girl he was cheating on me with came to my work….right after I clocked in, and told me and showed pictures and messages of how my bf was at her house the night before then at my house the next night and I never knew.  Also the worst part is that we all worked together and he was at work that day that she came and told me.  He played us both!  So we BOTH decided to take bright purple lipstick to his white car parked in the parking lot and write a few select words that described his behavior.  Oh and it permanently stained his car!   I am not sorry, he deserved worse.

To sleep with two girls at the same place of employment and think you are going to get away with it… you have to be dumb as a rock or really just not give a sh*t about anyone else.  

What is the worst way that you have been broken up with or a relationship ended?

I would say the worst way a relationship of mine ended was I found out the guy I was seeing for 4 months was seeing me….and 3 other girls.  I found out because a girl posted a  picture of them on Facebook and the caption was “third date down, more to go!”  So I ended that.

Well damn, I’m starting to see a pattern here Kym…. if you took an honest look at your “dating radar”, would you say you have totally missed the mark many times when picking a guy to date?

I think sometimes get caught up in someone’s physical attractiveness…. and then find out down the road that they are a really sh*tty person…

So do you feel like you have allowed bad relationships to drag on longer than they should have?

I am not gonna lie…. I always give people a second chance, but after getting burned so many times, there is no more second chances.  If you break my heart, then I am done with you.  I won’t be a doormat!

Weirdest boyfriend or strangest habit?

I had one boyfriend who had to have his food made a certain way and with the same brands and same order and the food couldn’t touch and he wouldn’t ever try new things.  It was the SAME meal every week.  And I even took 2 years of culinary school and he never got to experience my good cooking because he was too picky!

That just seems REALLY odd to me…. maybe that was a sign there were some other creepy things going on in his mind 🙂

So enough about past boyfriends….  let talk about dating and your future love life…. tell me about an ideal date for you?

I am pretty easy to impress and first dates are a deal breaker.  If you don’t take me to dinner and open the car door then I probably wont want to go on a second date.  I am a lady; and you better treat me as such 😋

Describe your basic “type” of guy.….
