Ok...so unless you have been living under a rock or on another planet for the past 7 or 8 years I'm sure the title of my blog sounds vaguely familiar. "Diona Dates The City"...I toyed with different titles and names but for some reason this one seemed to fit best...the Who, What and Where are all pretty clear. The Who is yours truly....Diona...a 30 something bonafide city girl, looking for true love, happiness, and let's face it great sex! The What....well the what is a personal challenge slash social experiment that I wish I had done years ago....are you ready for this one......[drum roll please] attempt to go out on 100 dates by the end of the year!! So let's see...that's 100 dates in 4 months, 2 weeks, and 6 days....not quite a date for everyday of the week..but hopefully enough to land a date for New Year's Eve right?? And finally the Where aka "The City" is Los Angeles...and fyi..I moved to LA from NYC in January...God why didn't I think to do this when I was still living in New York City??? And who will serve as my dating guru/coach/guide for my new found journey you ask?? I will use a different tip or piece of advice from a few of the ever so popular Self-Help Dating books as my guide. "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man", "The Rules", "He's Just Not That Into You", "Why Men Love Bitches", "Love Smart: Find the One you Want - Fix the One you Got" and "Think Like a Guy: How to Get a Guy by Thinking Like One", these are just a handful of popular titles of dating "self help" books, if you will, that promise to debunk dating myths, help us understand the male psyche and set us on the right track to finding the relationship of our dreams, L-O-V-E and the brass or shall I say Platinum ring that comes with it...and some are even "Oprah" worthy..Ha! Think I am finally ready to put all of this advice to the test and see what the universe brings me!!
Next stop Barnes and Noble to get a few books and heed the advice from my new dating 'Buru's' (book+guru) and quite possibly acquire date #1 in the Best Seller aisle...stay tuned..........
