The Search for Love in Manhattan

January 21, 2003

N.B.: I posted twice yesterday, in an attempt to make up for accidentally not posting on Sunday. I get so confused. . . .

Tonight is the Hurry Date event I signed up for. I don't want to go. I don't ever want to meet anybody ever again, much less 25 men, which is what the organizers claim will happen. I want to stay in my room and never come out and eat nothing but chocolate and get monstrously fat and then die.

Which means it must be Tuesday.

But I've already paid for the event, so I'll suffer through it somehow. At the very least it should yield some good blog material.

Is it possible for me to be on a search for love and have lost all desire to find it?

I have been there. Mine was speed-dating. Never got anything out of it, but now I am getting married to a man I worked with. Everything works out eventually. Give it a chance.

Wear your present; I sent it to you to remind you at moments just like this.

It's true, really it is. Really.

I can't wait to hear about your dates. I'll be watching Buffy and drinking chocolate, but will think of you.

Dating in mass quantities?...sounds kinda like torture to me. But hey, you never know.

I've been reading you're blog on and off for about 2 months now and I really enjoy your sense of humor and twist on life. I'm not saying that your search amuses me or entertains me, but it's good to know that there are people (or at least A person) who has a sense of humor about romance. I'll always wish you good luck....

I think you've got things mixed up... Perhaps you've lost the desire to search for love, but still hope to find it? I think that's how I feel... Just waiting for it to fall in my lap...

Thanks for linking me :)

I've been reading your blog for a while now and find it amusing and hilarious at times. Good luck for Hurry Date but I think I'm posting a little late for that but good luck anyways.
