The Beginnings

Many years ago as a 20 something single in Chicago, I was frustrated by the lack of dating I was doing. I have never been into the whole Internet dating thing, but I wanted to figure out a way to push myself when it comes to dating.

So, I came up with the concept of a club where friends would hold one another accountable on going out on at least 1 date a month. The only rule, you have to have "potential" interest in your date. No going out with your GBF (gay best friend) or your cousin and calling it a date. Seven of us started the club and by the year's end, I was the only single one left. All of my friends had gotten married, engaged or were living with someone.

Lesson learned: BE OPEN MINDED! My friends told me time after time that they would have never gone out with the person who turned out to be their soul mate if it weren't for the Date A Month Club.

Now, my experience was different...let's just say I met a lot (A LOT) of frogs. But at the end of the day, I had a blast. From a professional sky diver to a guy with a foot fetish, learned a lot about myself and the type of person I was looking for.

Fast forward...I have found myself single again after a three and a half year relationship. I still don't get the Internet dating world, but I believe there is someone out there for me.

This is my journey. I have laughed a lot and cried a little...I hope to share the laughter with you and inspire people to take risks when it comes to love.
