No Internet Stalking

As my friends have sent out emails asking for dates on my behalf (or at least for a guy to contact me for a date), I have to stop myself from immediately internet stalking them. Normally, whenever I meet anyone, I do some quick checking on Facebook to get a feel for them. I know that many of of do this.

However, Facebook never tells the full story of someone. It can also many times provide me with reasons to not have interest in someone, be it their political beliefs or the television shows they watch or the amount of friends they have. This is a huge disservice to them--we are so much more than what our Facebook profiles show! It also allows us to feel like we "know" someone without ever actually talking with them.

I want to get to know the guys I go on dates with by meeting them and actually talking with them. So I am not internet stalking any of the names I'm given for dates. I'll leave the getting-to-know-you portion to the date.

Getting Started

I lived in New York City once. I met a friend there who embarked on 31 Dates in 31 Days to get herself out of dating rut after another failed relationship. In April I turned 31 and realized I was in a situation quite similar to hers--another ended relationship, wondering why I kept making the same mistakes.

So here I am, ready to take on my own adventure to change my dating and habits and go back to the basics. The goal is to go on at least 15 first dates in the month of June. More would be great, so if you know someone give him my info and I'll contact him!
