wow.. funny how some things turn out. a friend of mine since February never that i never really said much to, until one day i got the nerve to say something. so i did. It took her by surprise, and we talked and at the end of that day she said she would think about it. i thought that meant a no. only to find out 3 weeks later to have her call me up out of the blue and say she wanted to talk, that being 2 weeks ago now, today we made it official that we are dating. and for the reason i asked her… she was the one of the sweetest women i ever met that was single. now that i have gotten to know her a bit more… she really is the sweetest most caring easy going woman i have ever been with.. and its one of the most comforting feelings i have had in a long time :)

How I did it: Once I actually said to myself out loud that I want to start dating again, I realized that it was true. I felt that I was ready to start this process again. It's been so long since I really dated and I thought I couldn't meet the kind of guys I was interested in. As soon as I made this goal, I joined Match.com. I was skeptical at first but amazed how easy it was to meet interesting men this way. I went on my … Read how I did it…
How I did it: Dating is someone that can be learnt. It's scary at first and the more you do it, the better you get at it. It's a great way to meet new people, normal friends and people for possible relationships. Try meeting people at Facebook, it's gold. Or go speeddating! Read how I did it…

I can’t believe I am considering marking this goal DONE already after just a week. I think I should actually go on a date before I say it’s complete, but I have one tomorrow so I’m almost there (unless I chicken out and don’t show up – fat chance!). It seems like all I had to do was to say out loud that this was a goal, and that made it possible. I thought I could never find a man that I liked – but I joined Match.com after I made this goal and I can’t believe how much I like it. It’s pretty safe and easy to meet men with similar interests and values – and to get rid of those you don’t like. I’m excited. I’ve met about 4 guys I’d like to meet (in just a few days) and one I think I might even really like… So worth it!
finally i can say i’ve gotten over my past. those horrible memory cannot choke me anymore. recently i’ve met some really cool guys, i have a feeling that new life is coming and can’t wait to start dating again.
Met a girl, taking her out to pool and bowling tonight. See if its just as friends or a real date… I made it real casual as I don’t need to rush into anything. If it goes somewhere that’s cool, if not that’s cool too.
Update, one week later: yup, just friends.
The year started off well. I went on 2 dates within the first couple of weeks in January. The dates did not go bad, however they were not great either. I decided not to go out with them again. Since then I have not even tried to go out on another date.
I want to start dating again. Here are some ideas: ferry ride, space needle, picnic, ride the ducks tour, badminton, tennis, basketball, cooking classes, etc.
i know im ready and im over my last… after meeting a few people.. even though getting their number and clearly having an opportunity.. i keep meeting someone more interesting than the last.. then meeting someone that just wowed me .. someone you never thought you could ever meet… and then slowly see it seem to be just friends.. after that i just have no drive to want to date right now… i think i need to stop trying .. i didnt think i tryied that hard… but right now i just want to take it easy .. if something happens it happens if not .. owell …

I’m thinking of shelving this goal. I’m not sure if right now that means for a while or for good.
Went on some dates, had some potential and later found out that the guy was a “collector”. I’m not a collectible and I told him that upfront.
I’m not bitter, but I want something different from what I’ve seen, what I’m seeing.
A friend said I have high expectations. Initially I was offended, but when she explained I agreed with her – I have high expectations of people. That makes finding meaningful friendships and romantic relationships hard. And I’m learning first hand that being more educated and owning a home can also complicate dating – well, for women.
I think I’d rather focus on other goals right now like finding a paint color for my loft, getting more organized or starting to run again daily.

Went on a date last weekend. This is so new to me. I’ve been avoiding dating for so long.
The date went well I think and we are still talking. I told him I was open to a second date.
i think in another week or so. i should be clear headed enough to not worry about my previous relationship being in my head. even im kinda surprised to see how fast Ive worked through that. guess it was a sign it was dead for a while..
so ill check back in a week. no need to rush it. good luck to the rest of you!
