It is also very therapeutic for myself to get out the experiences I have and to find the humor in all the horrible dates I go through. It's nice to have an archive for future reading and hopefully when I find the right guy, he too will find the humor in it all!
Whoever I eventually end up with would be fine being portrayed in such a blog, especially in a very illuminated fashion as one of the only great dates in the past year. I take it upon myself to not use any real names in my blog (Even though I totally COULD) and generally keep the pictures at humerous googled clipart, unless I feel it necessary for my "readers" (err, well myself since I only have 5 "followers") to see what kind of guy I was actually out with. (IE: Skydiving date/Buckaroo being the only two).
I recently had a very Carie Bradshaw moment. (for you guys, that is horse face from the Sex in the City show...) One of the guys I had recently gone out with, contacted me after locating this very blog. Now, to be fair, I always tell the guys...well, I tell the ones that I can stand for more than an hour, that I have a blog. I tell them it is dating related and that most of my dates end up on it. I don't give the location of the blog however, to save them the humiliation later on when I write about them.
So, this particular individual who had contacted me, had knowledge of said blog from the beginning and should have been aware that he was to end up on it. That being said, he was less than thrilled when he found and read my version of our date; even though nothing bad was written about him and it had been one of the best stories on my blog thus far.
After having 2 dates, both very good and talks of a third...this individual more or less disappeared all together. Jokingly I said maybe it was due to the fact he found my blog, and that was in fact the truth.
I would understand more so if I had used his real name and ran a smear campaign against him or something....but I hadn't.
I don't date for the sole purpose of blogging. I wish I could find the right guy so I could end this, to be honest! It is humiliating for not only the guys I write about (and most never know)...it is also humiliating for me, cause I put myself in the situations that end up here! I have been single in the suburbs now for over a year and a half. You don't think I ACTUALLY ENJOY all this dating, do you? But, to keep myself sane through the process, I have to get it all out there and in doing so, hope that I can help someone else too.
To each his own though, really!
If someone can't handle it, he obviously isn't man enough nor does he have enough of a sense of humor for me.
NEXT!

Excuse for that I interfere … To me this situation is familiar. I invite to discussion. Write here or in PM.
