50 First Dates, The Series

In the shower this morning as I was washing off the remains of an awkward failure of a yoga date, I decided it was time to come back to my safe place.  It's been almost a year since I last wrote, but recent events have made me realize the world needs to know more about my life and the awkward/hilarious/unfortunate/awesome goings-on.

My springboard back into blog life will begin with a series called "50 First Dates".  And no, they're not all with the same person. I do have a mental condition for which there is no cure, but it is not memory loss.  It's worse.  Much worse.  No, I suffer from what many scientists have deemed the Single White Girl with side effects of Anti-Commitment and Relationship Block.  As I was recapping my recent outing with a member of the opposite sex, other first dates played in my mind and I decided that this would be a good project for me.  A review of my early 20s dating experiences would surely provide me with some insight and retrospect that would prove fruitful for future dates/mates.  And, at the least, will provide my friends with some stomach-cramping laughing fits.

One good friend has assured me that I am NOT a dating failure and am at least getting asked out on dates.  Which is kind of true, in that I am flattered guys are willing to spend time and money on a head case such as myself.  But we'll get past that, I'm sure.

So, without further adeu, a steaming sexless series of dates gone awry.  Enjoy.
