What in the F*(&^?!?!

We can't make this stuff up. Seriously. Life as a single lady in these "modern" times is ... well, weird. Dating is not like it used to be. Making friends as an adult is one of the strangest adventures. The only "normal" thing I've got going is my job.

One of my best friends (she's single, too) and I were sharing our dating stories, or lack thereof. It's hard to get a date these days. It doesn't matter if you're tall, thin and blond or something else. Guys are losing their nerve and no longer know how to act like a gentleman. But I cannot accept that the only way to meet a good one is to swipe right, start the conversation and force an in-person meeting. What ever happened to good ol' fashioned flirting in the grocery store? Somehow this culminated in a new idea: let's write a blog!

If it sounds like we started this blog to help you find your one true love, I suggest you move along. We have no answers. We have no advice. All we have are our stories. After some deliberation (not much really), I asked my friend if she wanted to start a blog with me. We've got some stories to tell. They're probably not nearly as interesting to you as they are to us, but what the heck? I thought if we shared them, and committed to one blog post a week each, then perhaps we would be motivated to spend some time with people we otherwise wouldn't give a second look. Perhaps we could experience some new adventures to spice up our own lives and simply just enjoy life.

What's the deal? We'll post once a week. We'll shoot for 2 dates a month. We'll share our dating and non-dating stories. Funny or not. Maybe by spending more time online, writing, searching, sharing, we can find more offline fun! Our first blogs are coming . . . Get ready!

Want a preview? My first blog includes a story about a date who came from a family of potato farmers and forgot where he lived. What will my girlfriend post? Oh the anticipation ...
