November's Challenge

For those of you who dare...


For this month's challenge, let's venture outside of our boxes. I'd like you to contact 3 people you normally wouldn't contact and get a first meet with them. Now, I don't mean that you shouldn't have any attraction, etc. But let's say the guy is 2 inches shorter than what you usually like, but he seems like your type, try it. If he's decent looking and seems to have a lot in common with you, try it. If your senses say "he's a good guy" but your reservation says "nah nevermind" just try it!


And of course, post here as often as you can and let us know about your progress!

I'll start with one guy, but I don't know about three! I can barely find the time for the ones I *am* actually interested in!
Good idea, I like the overall concept. I tried this on eharmony where they match you with ppl...I went out of my way to give the guys a chance who I normally wouldn't. It didn't work too well then, but I'll try it again! Usually my gut instinct is right on about whether or not I feel like I'd click with someone.

Thanks for trying!


And you don't have to go for the ones that you're thinking "oh no way..." More like the ones on the border. :o)


I can't wait to see an update from you!

So, I went out with a guy, Marc, on saturday who I wasn't completely thrilled about seeing. I liked him as a friend and had been chatting with him on and off for a couple months. I just wasn't interested in trying to take it anywhere besides friendship. He had been busy with work all these weeks and had even closed his dating profile.
Just as I thought, there was no chemistry of any kind. I like him as a friend, but he doesn't know that!!! He has emailed me twice and called me a few times since the date. He told me that he is so happy we finally met in person, and then he said, "happier than you think :)". Eeek! He is really sweet, but no. Now I have to tell him that I'd like to remain friends with him.
I kept thinking about Michael on the date...he's who I really want to spend time with. Michael had wanted to get together that night but I had to say no since I was going out with Marc. :(
