Looking for Love?
So a friend of mine who's been single for a while decided to take her dating life into her own hands in 2008. She sent the following email entitled "A Date In 2008" to her friends. I've been a little hesitant about being "fixed up" (especially by my white friends LOL), but I'm thinking if things continue as they do in my dating life, I may have to take a page from her book. LOL.
Hello Friends,
I had a great idea last night! Lets call it a Social Experiment.
After watching 30 dates in 30 days via Essence.com...I decided to start my own little campaign.
I would like everyone listed on this email to reach out to one guy I could date-in 2008! It could be a friend, cousin, whatever! It might not hit you instantly but during 2008 you just might think of someone...then you should think of me!
I know this sounds crazy but what better way to start the new year that this! Who knows I might even start a blog/email to let you know how your suggested date went. LOL !
I know you all are busy with work, school, motherhood/fatherhood and all the rest of life...but I am asking you reach out to ONE individual for me...I think this will be fun...once I get through all the jokes I know I will hear!
I have a long list of requirements...but I decided to throw "my list" out the window and have some fun!
Let the Dates and the JOKES begin!
I remember when one of my sisters tried to set up one of my brothers with a friend of hers. The girl was weird, my brother was disrespectful, and my sister was so embarrassed by the whole fiasco that she never spoke to the girl again. LOL. Do you think this is a good way to get dates, or will it result in a lot of broken friendships?
It beats an ad in the paper...

nb: that whole thing is going to end badly.
my advice to her is to go out with all the dudes that have been dieing to go out with her FIRST - get them out of the way - THEN start whoring herself out for dates.
lawx owen u nuh have to make the thing look so
ur such a grinch!
@Owen, I'm surprised...your thinking is a bit small-minded, and disrespectful. Especially since you're assuming that a) there are dudes who are dying to go out with her, or b) that she hasn't tried that route already.
Women can't win. If they go out to clubs, bars, etc. to try to meet someone, they're either gold diggers, or idiots for thinking they can meet a nice dude in a bar. If they try to go through friends, they are whoring themselves out.
I guess if that's the case, there's a lot of date whores out there because I know quite a few people who've reached out to friends for help meeting the right person.
Ah well...Hello, I'm SE, and I'm a date whore. LMAO.
desperate times call for desperate measures!
but on a serious note - surely this is better than just finding a random somewhere? at least these men will come with some sort of a recommendation!
oh i love it. LOVE IT!! lmao @ owen. hilarious. and please give out her blog addy b/c she should def. write abt it AND tell essence since it was based on their joint. love. it. i've never been fixed up but am not opposed to it.
I think it'll work
I've always heard it's a numbers game
you never know when you'll meet the right guy
like they say
you have to kiss a lot of frogs
whoring was a bit strong, but I have a 7 letter limit
I've yet to meet a woman which doesn't have hordes of men chasing after them - well not hordes - maybe one or 2 that buy them chocolate cake at lunch time - just because. I suggested that she date that guy and break his heart first.
hmmmm....or maybe women like to keep these guys around....you should write something on that topic.
she shud date those guys jus becus?
u aint making no sense...go back to the drawing board...u sound like maybe ur hounding after some woman who jus aint giving u the time of day.....
@Owen, maybe the men chasing after a woman are no good at all. Suppose the men chasing me are all married or even more positive side, are boooring we have absolutely nothing in common which render dates with them excruciating. Should i date them?
Am with SE, am gish and and I'm a date whore.
Actually I dont have dudes wanting to buy we chocolate cake! The only dudes that I talk to want to tell me how to make the chocolate cake, and put the frosting on.
Oh well call it what you will! Its on in 2008!
@ owen, can you send some of those chocolate-buying dudes my way please?
Your friend is a brave soul. I don't really see anything wrong with her approach and I don't think it makes her desperate. I'd much rather date someone that I've met through someone mutual than date a complete stranger.
I hope it works out for her.
