Biker Chick Adventures

I've been doing a ton of writing. I've done quite a bit on the book. I found a place that pays me much better than Examiner, but it isn't as fun. I got fired from the coffee shop. Not sure why. In fact, the 23 year old manager couldn't even do it. I had to fire myself.:roflmao: Trust me, this does not break my heart. Classes have started again, and mediation for the accident is about a month away.

And the really cool part? My new project:

Biker Chick Adventures: 50 First Dates

I need volunteers, so if you know any single bikers within a couple hundred miles of Denver, fix me up - OK?

I think it will be fun. At least I'll get out and meet other people.

I had a nasty comment from someone last night. Seriously, ruin lives on one date? The guy needs to get a grip if I could ruin his life in one day.:roflmao:

That's why I think guys would like it. Let them know what chicks dig. At least what I'm thinking anyway.

Number 2 and I are getting along great. I broke the news to him yesterday, and he was really cool about it. I'm being really open here. I get too deeply involved, too quickly. The whole point is that by doing this, that can't happen. It gives us plenty of time to get to know each other, and I'm totally up front that I'll be going out with other guys. There's no BS. He and his friend thought it was really cool.

I can date the same guy more than once, but it doesn't count towards the total. If I'm getting along with someone and he demands I end my project, then he's probably not "The One".

What's funny is that my new shrink (anonymous comment poster that thinks I'm totally screwed up - the ex or his mother maybe???) is telling me that I should be owning up to my issues and working on myself. I say right in there that the experience will help me learn about myself and maybe even help others. Duh.

Great series’ Abby, I’ll read with lots of interest. I have a single friend. I’ll talk to him and see what he thinks.
Probably didn’t tell you but Judy and I met on the internet 10 years ago, we will have our 9th anniversary on the 24th of March. 50 eh, You’re going to be busy. Good Luck.

Abby, great to hear that the book is moving along.

As to your "50 First Dates" project, this sounds like one of those things that is a great concept, but can really become crap in the execution. I hope it ends up more like a situational comedy than Lifetime Movie Network "Man Hating Movie of the Week" material.

The one thing that I know you have right is that you are more likely to find your real partner when you're not looking for him/her. At least that is how it worked for me over 24 years ago.

:cheers:

So true Red Rider - Had the same thing happen to me 40 years ago and she still puts up with me.:roflmao:

It is so totally NOT going to be a man-hating/bashing thing. I refuse to trash anyone. I want it to be fun and not at anyone's expense. More about things to do on a date and things that are fun, interesting, memorable, mishaps (by nobody's fault, like running out of of gas), how to meet people, great rides, etc. I really, really, really have no intention of making anyone feel bad.

I have girlfriends who come out of bad relationships and swear they'll never date again, or they'll date again, but everyone's an a$$. Despite all the trouble I've had, I've never felt that way. I know there are a lot of great guys out there. It's finding single ones at my age that can get tricky.

As far as finding someone when you aren't looking, I know it sounds crazy, but doing this is like I'm not looking. If I'm looking and go out with a guy, I might be tempted to make more out of it than I should. In this case, I have to move on to the next guy. I can't focus too much on anybody.

That being said, I've seen the second guy three times since Friday. :roflmao:

I'd be very uncomfortable if someone screened me before going out. I'm not planning on marrying these guys, just going for a ride or a cup of coffee or something.

Meeting on dating sites, friends of friends, Facebook, whatever. Typical stuff and meeting in safe places like you would normally. I'm trying not to be overly-critical. It's about meeting friends and potential riding buddies as much as anything. I had all kinds of plans when I first moved here, and then I got run over. Remember that? My social agenda went in the toilet. I need to dig myself out of this "I'm fine by myself" mentality and meet people.

Speaking of getting run over, we have mediation at the end of April. Hopefully it will be settled at that point.
