A New Year, A New Strategy

After much deliberation, I decided to pay for a matchmaker. His name is Dr. Warren, his creed is "matching people on deeper levels of compatibility" or some such non-shallow message that can be heard on the many television commercials promoting eHarmony.com.

After several bachelors and many hours spent playing my new favorite work time distraction, I also decided that I might need a better strategy if I had any intentions of winning this new game I had so lavishly invested in. Well, not too lavish - about $30 bucks a month for a minimum of 3, I had bought access to a daily provider of potential dates. Which so far has exceeded my return on investment both financially (I was surprised that many dates had turned down my obligatory "dutch the bill?" offer) and emotionally.

The idea to start a blog occurred after my third round of dates, when I began to realize I had to research each bachelor and our communications online prior to the date so that I didn't embarrass myself by repeating stories, asking questions that had already been answered in depth, or mentioning faux-pas topics (to be discussed in further detail). And so, with the new year and the usual resolutions, I signed up for a blog to detail my newly found dating escapades. I'd like to mention now that I am not writing this for a public forum, anyone who is reading this has most likely received the address from myself, and is aware of the general background details of myself, so I wont even begin to delve into my thoroughly rich history of dating/hookups/one night stands. Maybe if the dating game slows down, I will share some of the more colorful stories just so that one day when I'm old and wrinkled I can look back on my adventurous escapades and smile as to how successful and glorious (some) of my encounters have been.
