Dating.

posted Monday, 1 October 2007

I think I've deleted a post along these lines three or four times since Saturday.  You see, on Saturday afternoon I posted a Craigslist ad.  Super basic, honest, kind of funny.  I got responses, but they were kind of lame.  Some were even very mean.  So I deleted it after being told to get off my lazy ass and learn something about nutrition.

Later that night I wrote a better ad, but was told it was written for women and nerds.  Did I want either? I deleted it.  Then I updated my Jdate profile and created a Frumster profile. I offered/threatened the twitterverse that they could take over my social calendar and start setting me up.

So... yeah... I'm single. 

Maybe a relationship isn't right around the corner, but I'm officially out there.  I like men who are brilliant, passionate, funny... Jewish is important, you all know that, but I am capable of loving people who are Jewish.  I love a good conversation, but I don't want to debate everything, please and thank you.  I enjoy Chicago and I like men who drag me out into the city to DO stuff.  

I really like coffee, diners, cafes. Pubs, patios, wine bars.  I like dancing, but not clubs.  I like music, but don't care to see live bands.  I love that chicago is a sports town, but don't particularly like sports. I like the CTA and my bike and walking.

Think you know someone I should date? Send me an email, set us up. Tell him I blog, he'll Google me anyway. Show him my Flickr account, there are lots of photos of me there.  I look how I look, I blog who I am. 

Your call to action: Set me up on (gasp) blind dates with men in Chicago.

Hashem has a funny sense of humor. I met my husband the day I'd dumped another guy, and decided to go out to a local Jewish Singles event rather than sit home and mope.

I don't know anyone in Chicago, so the best I can offer is to stay positive and keep circulating! They're out there.

Lux--oh trust me, I'm familiar with Hashem's hysterical sense of humor!

Jendais--totally psyched that you have a set-up in the works for me :)
