I am NOT too picky! I just like what I like!!

I have always believed that you should have the highest of standards when it comes to yourself — especially true in terms of the men that you date, since utlimately you date them in hopes that they will be “the one”–the one who sets your heart a flutter for as long as you both shall live. So when my friends tell me that I am too picky, I have a really hard time seeing how that is a problem. If you settle you will end up with shit! Why would I want to date shit??

One thing that I am guilty of in terms of dating though is maybe being a little close minded–yes, strange for a girl who earns a living writing about sex. I tend to want things to go the traditional route: boy see’s girl and is smitten. Girl see’s boy and is also smitten. Boy asks girl out on date. Sadly, since my work tends to keep me in my apartment with only my dog for company (I can’t get it up for my stories at Starbucks like other writers), the opportunity to meet a guy the ol’ school way is just not really there. I realize now at the ripe age of 35 (going on 16) that I really do have to stop making fun of and swearing off other avenues such as Internet dating, set ups and all that. It is not just this realization that has given me the manic shove to get out there and try online dating and such, but also to prove that Mr.Perfect-for-me-in-spite-of-my-unusually-HIGH-standards really does exist and to shut-my-friends-and-family-the-fuck-up along-the-way.

So, as of today, I (who we will call ‘2Picky‘ ) solemly vow to go on 50 blind dates in search of Mr.Right. I also vow to record every hideous/creepy/inane/funny/embarassing and hopefully juicy detail so that other women can learn something from my experience… hopefully something positive though at this particular second I doubt it. Oops – trying to keep my mind as open as Jenna Jameson’s legs!

My search begins on Craigslist…
