A Challenge

Ok, here's a challenge for all of you...


I'd like you to date 3 people, at least one date... and of those people, you won't look at them... you just look at their personalities and whether or not they're people you can "vibe" with... You have 2 weeks to do this... 3 people in 2 weeks... who's game???


So... who accepts the challenge?

OK...I just now sent Mr. Monogamy (he used MONOGAMOUS twice, just like this, all caps in his profile so that's what I'll call bachelor #1) a reply to his e-mail expressing my interest. On paper we're definitely on the same page so far;P now I've just gotta keep pushing this superficial little demon off my shoulder. The stupid thing is not really so much about the picture it's that he's on the outside edge of my age perameter. Lately I've had the worst luck with the younger guys. I'm 45. My last two were 38 & 39. This one is 52. This is the challenge for me, because even I know that the older guys would be much better for me in a lot of ways, somehow it makes ME feel old when I think of being with a guy in his 50's. I know this is completely stupid.
Anyhoo...I will pursue this challenge to a positive and productive end!

I do that all the time----I truly READ what they have to say in addition to the pic. I will say whenever I question if there will be a physical attraction before meeting I'm usually dead on. Yes, intellect, humor and wit can make them more attractive but there are many times where that spark isn't there and you gotta have it. For those who never give a guy a shot based on his personality I encourage you to do so---you never know. I won't be a good experiment as I always look at the writing first. I met a man out a few weeks ago and just no physical spark ---you can't force it. Plus I met someone special so going to focus on him right now until further notice. He's the package, looks, brains and personality ;-).

Good luck!!

I'll accept the challenge, but with a few modifications. My goal is to send out thirty short, but profile-specific emails and see what kind of response I get. My goal is to put them out there and then forget it. If I hear back, then great, if not, well, that's the breaks.

Heyyyyy that's not my challenge! LOL. Though I think that makes for a different challenge, equally as good. Can we "steal" that idea? :)

Okay, I've reactivated my match account (with a little tweaking), should be searchable by tomorrow. Started my dating diary. This is just crazy enough to work! If it does, I guarantee you'll get an invitation to the wedding, bklynchik!
