Sooooo, it's been a millennia since my last posting and I blame the boy, smarty pants (and my fear of him finding out about this blog) entirely for my absence.
What is it about the all-encompassing, life-taker-over, no-sleep, weight-gain-of-it-all with a new relationship??? I think there is some mail sitting on my desk I still haven't opened from June. And forget about the contents of my refrigerator. I believe that fuzzy, brown, lumpy concoction in the tupper-ware container (the lone item occupying the space) is a Weight Watchers bean dip recipe that I optimistically made before my diet consisted of chocolate, wine and pulled pork. (Boys.) It's been there for about as long as that unopened mail. I'm afraid to open either one.
I really hadn't anticipated this. Getting into a hot and heavy relationship, that is. I had planned on dating for a while and having many more sordid, funny, crazy dating stories to spill on this dating expose I've created. And for fear of turning this into a blog about relationships - budding, changing, getting serious - I haven't posted anything. I don't think people find talk of a monogamous relationship half as fascinating as hearing about multiple disastrous dates, idiot dudes, sloppy make-outs and regretful, drunken nights. I know I don't. We all get a kick out of hearing about (other's) cringe-worthy pain that meeting (and making out with) strangers can induce. Living it, for reals, on the other hand, isn't as fantastic.
So here I am....in a quandary about whether or not to continue this little experiment since my life is suddenly boring (meaning, not looney tunes). What I am thrilled about through all of this is that I have been responsible for encouraging some dear friends into signing up to do a little online dating of their own. Maybe I'll have some of them contribute to future postings so we can all live vicariously through them.....any takers?

HA! I was going to start a "2008 Dating experiment" and found your blog... I'm in my mid 20s and turned to nerve.com for interesting hijinks.
Should I do it... start this project?
Are you still looking for someone to take the reigns on this posting?
If you are interested in passing the experiment along my email address is erinbschultz@gmail.com
dear modern dater....
i think b/c no one blogs about relationships that's why you should do it. sex and the city is over. where's the show about the relationship? where's the social commentary about making relationships work? and no i don't mean oprah's show. i mean real social commentary from real people. you're the perfect blogger to do it.
bacci....
