And....we're off and running.

The ad went live this morning. Check it out here.

With the emailers' permission, we'll be posting excerpts from some of the first emails, and create mini-profiles of the "datees".

Hang on, it's going to be a bit of a bumpy ride :)

Tired of the dating scene

I'm not tired of the dating scene, exactly. It's just that I am so incredibly terrible on the first dates that I usually don't get to the second date part.

I guess I just need some practice. To get out there (off the internet dating sites...and out of my small circle of friends) and to meet some new people. And to practice my first date skills. :)

So my friends and I have created this project: 40 First Dates. To see who is out there and still single, to date a wide spectrum of people, and to possibly (at least!) make some new friends.

Here's what we have in mind right now:
  • Post a Craig's List ad, asking for "volunteers". Like a personal ad, but with the added bonus of being part of a social experiment.
  • Go on dates
  • Blog about it

Let us know what you think. :)
