The Mission

Well, here I am. I've now been single for just over a year.

As 27 gets eerily closer, I am dating up a storm. Between meeting men in bars, through mutual friends, and the world of online dating, I've been rather busy.

After watching Julie and Julia for the second time yesterday, and realizing that I desperately need a hobby aside from online dating (does that even count as a hobby?) I decided to take it to the world wide web. Will anyone read it? Doubtful. I mean, my friends would kill to read it, but I am a wee bit too insecure for that at this point. However, I'm sure on a drunken night, after three or four glasses of Pinot Grigio, I will cave in and show them.

My goal is not actually to go on 365 dates in one year. Between work, pretending that I go to the gym, and maintaining a somewhat active social life, that would be pretty much impossible. My goal is simply to date as many men as possible, and to document the many stories that I currently save only for my closest friends. There are the funny dates, the awkward dates, the he's-clearly-not-into-me dates, the 5 foot 9? More like 5 foot 6 dates, the whirlwind romance dates, the I-think-he-may-be-gay dates...I could go on and on.

So I will start now, in the present, with last night's date. And thus it begins...
