Where is the love?: Adventures in Dating
http://whereistheamore.blogspot.com/2013/06/adventures-in-dating.html
Tuesday, June 18, 2013. So far, my endeavor to date as many fabulous men as possible. Is going … slowly. Part of it is the cold, hard facts: I'm over 35. I'm 5'11". I'm not the fun, party girl that a good portion of the male population seems to be looking for. (Sorry guys, shoulda caught me 5 years ago.). He doesn't have a car. I'm meeting Mr. B for lunch here in N on Saturday. Why? But here's the one I'm interested in. TG wrote to me after I severely shortened my profile. I'd read in several places ...

Where is the love?: Keep Your Cool
http://whereistheamore.blogspot.com/2013/06/keep-your-cool.html
Wednesday, June 19, 2013. I'm just home form my first date with TG. We met for a drink at a new restaurant in town. I was so freakin' nervous I could hardly focus at work today. (I know, what am I, 16? But I didn't date at 16, so this could be part of the problem.). Anyway, whew. After a lifetime of going on crappy first dates, it's nice to have one I'm excited about. Now the trick will be to keep my cool. I have the date with Mr. B Saturday and there's another guy from Oakland who wants ...

Where is the love?: Engaged--What The Heck?
http://whereistheamore.blogspot.com/2013/04/engaged-what-heck.html
Tuesday, April 30, 2013. Engaged- What The Heck? If you've read any of the previous entries, you are probably wondering why the heck I agreed to marry Mac. It's a valid question; I wonder the same thing now, now that I'm out of the woods. I know I brought up my concerns about his finances and job situation; I may have mentioned the whole sex thing, too. I told him we were not. Ever the romantic, he couldn't see that my concerns were valid and important, and not the r avings of an anxiety-ridden chica.

Where is the love?: October 2013
http://whereistheamore.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 13, 2013. So where am I now on this journey towards love? In the end, I had to let them both slip back into the sea. This was difficult as I truly liked both of them- but in liking them, I realized I had more of a friendly feeling than a "loverly" feeling. I had to be fair to all involved. (NorCal ladies, I know two great guys, if you need recommendations- though Android needs a little time, I think.). Tangentially, I have to say it's incredible to me how men- not just women! This time, I...

Where is the love?: Will It Lead to Disaster?
http://whereistheamore.blogspot.com/2013/08/will-it-lead-to-disaster.html
Sunday, August 4, 2013. Will It Lead to Disaster? The names have shuffled around a bit, but I still have five guys in rotation. And, triumph of triumph: I picked up a guy in real life tonight! Or, rather, he asked me out- I didn't hit on him or anything.). Drew" predicted in my previous post. That this will end in disaster. It's possible, but I'm fully prepared for this possibility. Really, what could be more disastrous that my love life to date? This afternoon, at a BBQ, I met Wino. Why was I sad? On Fr...

Where is the love?: Survival of the Fittest
http://whereistheamore.blogspot.com/2013/06/survival-of-fittest.html
Saturday, June 29, 2013. Survival of the Fittest. First the great news: I snapped a pair on and contacted TG on Wednesday, one week from our first date- as The Four Man Plan (4MP) stipulates. I was so nervous, but realized that waiting a week was a great idea: enough time had passed that I was perfectly fine with whatever the outcome. One week is enough time to not appear desperate but to still seem interested. Nice. And then he sent a pic …. He wasn't wearing a shirt. Nice! Part of it is I don't know Mr...

Where is the love?: August 2013
http://whereistheamore.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 8, 2013. Worst Date- To Date. It's been a long time since I've had a truly bad date, but oh boy I had one Tuesday night. I liked that Realtor is outgoing and confident, and after our first date, I was looking to see if he would be less likely to talk about himself the whole time (and glaze over after the rare question directed at myself)- hey, it could have been first date nerves! He was also really great about driving from his city, about 45 minutes away, to see me. He blinked at me, ut...

Where is the love?: On Dating: Why the Hell I'm Doing It This Way
http://whereistheamore.blogspot.com/2013/09/on-dating-why-hell-im-doing-it-this-way.html
Monday, September 9, 2013. On Dating: Why the Hell I'm Doing It This Way. See, I believe I've had the wrong assumptions all these years. I think I've been scared and knee-jerky (both in ditching men and in getting too seriously involved too soon). There's nothing like dating a whole handful at once to slow things the heck down! I have no expectations, and it's wonderfully freeing. I take that back- I only expect to be treated respectfully and honestly. Outside of that, bring it on! And I have moved on...

Where is the love?: Back in the Dating Saddle
http://whereistheamore.blogspot.com/2013/05/back-in-dating-saddle.html
Friday, May 24, 2013. Back in the Dating Saddle. So- let's skip past all the heartbreak. Basically, it all came to a head in late October/early November and I ended it. I immediately felt free, and have felt free since. Leaving Mac was hard, but it was the right decision- that's the stark truth of it. Anyway, as I told Loverville. A couple weeks ago (has it been that long already? Put the idea in my head. Reader, I signed up. I just don't care- which, I suppose, defeats the purpose ever so slightly.

Where is the love?: Mr. Bartender
http://whereistheamore.blogspot.com/2013/06/mr-bartender.html
Saturday, June 22, 2013. I haven't heard from TallGuy since Wednesday. I'm a bit bummed about that, but taking it in stride. Per the Four Man Plan. 4MP), I am cultivating my other quarters- all one of them. (I had another who turned out to be a weirdo, so he's off the plan.) Why not contact TallGuy now myself? Well, the idea of the 4MP isn't so much a Rules-based You Must Be Pursued. Week and a half. One week ( ed note: I had that wrong, thank god! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). One young woman dete...
