How it All Began

I never started out intending to be one of those girls, full of stories of crazy dating escapades. I always thought that I would have a fairly normal life...date a little, meet Prince Charming, get married, have kids, and get old. I had NO idea that things would come to this. Post-college, I have been told a million times that I should be writing a book about some of the bad dates that I've been on. At first I didn't think any of my stories would be worth reading. But, the older I've gotten and the more bad dates I've been on, the more I felt the need to communicate with the world that there are a lot of freaks and weirdos out there. And yes, even my own version of Mr. T. As I was sharing these stories with a friend one day, it dawned on me that she had me beat in only one category: I have never dated an ex-con. Don't get me wrong, I'm quite certain I've dated men with a police record, and that wouldn't surprise me in the least, but to the best of my knowledge, none have ever spent any time in prison...yet. In any case, I am finally doing what I should have started years ago: chronicling my totally true tales as a twenty-something dater. I hope you'll read these, share your stories with me, and get a laugh out of all the interesting people that have fallen into the lap of just another single girl looking for love!
