I was driving into work one day and listening to the radio and low and behold I hear Paul Brunson aka Modern Day MatchMaker, handing single women a challenge..... 10 date by New Years.
WHAT?!?!?!
I immediately tweeted him "do you know how hard it is to find ONE quality date these days much less 10????
He responded by sending me to the article he published that morning on essence.com of 14 dating mistakes that women make. An interview which was insightful as I read it with one of my favorite married sisters.
Anyhoooo, long story short, she convinced me that I could do it if I had an open mind.
Me? Ms. Ehh I'll just stay home tonight and "clean my room/house/hair/anything to stay in" LOL
Ok, needless to say I accepted. But how to go about this???
First, re-join an online dating site. Been there done that and truly don't want to do it again. But what choice do I have. With this, I solicited the help of another sista girl. She is still putting together the profile and I have to say I am nervous. But she is determined to get me my 10 all by herself. But me being me, I signed up to a famous dating site, again, to see if things would be better this time around. I wasn't even done with setting up the profile and I was already bombarded with guys wanting to see a photo. I posted one, but still haven't paid for the service (ol'cheapskate resufaced lol).
Second, attack my married friends AGAIN and convince them to help me. Now this was much easier than I thought. One has decided that she also will help with the 10 all by herself, lol.
Did I mention that I have crazy and competitive sista girls, LOL.
Third, revisit some past potential suitors and see if there is chemistry now. Most of which are on my fb page and recently contacted me for my bday and gobble fest.
Fourth, keep an open mind! I'm not trying to find Mr. I have been waiting for you all my life. Instead I'm open to dinner, nice convo and that's it! If we click, we click. If we don't, we will be closer friends or part ways completely.
Ready.....Set.......GO!!!!!!
How is the challenge going for you? Are you enjoying just getting back out there to have?
ReplyDeleteIt's very interesting at this point. I've never really liked dating. But this time I'm not taking things so seriously and it's kinda fun. However, I do look forward to being in a real relationship. Just not focused on it right now.
