The Author
I can remember that when I first started dating I thought I had it all figured out already.
Boy, was I ever wrong.
I am a scientist at heart, and seek to find answers in the places other people haven’t found any yet. Figuring out what I want in a partner, or what suits my needs best, becomes a social experiment of some kind, and ultimately a process of elimination from the heart. This may be the wrong approach to love, I realize, but I don’t think anyone has determined what the right approach would be, so I am left to figure this out on my own.
Yet, the biggest lesson I have learned, is that when dating, simple answers are hard to come by and they will change as time continues to tick forward. Never the less, as a result, I have dated a variety of men, in a variety of shapes, sizes, interests, and personality types. I have tried a handful of things I am sure you haven’t and many I am sure you have. In the end, I know a little bit more than I did when I first started looking for love, but I would hardly say I am any closer to the end result. I am learning, and I want you to learn with me.
This is the chronicle of me, a 20 something, pretty, smart and funny as hell, single girl, and my adventures in dating. I request that you reserve judgement, because we have all made stupid decisions when it comes to matters of the heart; but, I do request that offer any input you feel necessary. One of the things I have learned is that in the messy waters of relationships, the best advice comes from those who are watching from the outside.
I hope you enjoy. I hope it helps, somehow. I hope I get to finish this diary at some point.
