LESSON #1

Guys, come on. This isn't that difficult. Generally, when you meet a girl, you want to try and impress them. You want to get them interested on some level whether it be your looks, your career, your personality, whatever it is, you want to make it to at least the first date. Here is what YOU DO NOT DO:

You do not, under any circumstance, on an inital phonecall reveal any of the following:

You don't tell her that if she doesn't know what beer pong is, you can't talk.

You don't tell her about the time you got arrested for a dui and drug posession charge, and how you ate your weed while the officer was running your licence.

You don't tell her how after your posessions charge, you try to cross over into Canada for some more "fun", and  then get kicked out of Canada.

And you probably don't want to tell a single mother of two that because you dont have an ex wife or kids you've been able to have a "good" life.

No, sorry buddy. There were too many strikes to count. And that last one? well that was three strikes all on its own.

Dating

In this intricate world of dating, there are many different avenues one can take. There is traditional meet and greet dating, there is speed dating, there is "setup" dating, and of course the infamous online dating. For one, such as myself, online dating can provide the convenience of dating when your schedule doesn't allow for a lot of extra time, or if you're not into the meet-at-a-bar-and-hook up kind of dating. While online dating can be more convenient, and you can see a picture of a person ahead of time (if that's actually them in the picture), it can also be a tedious process. You have to weed out the real people from the fakes, the honest people from the liars, those who offer you what you are wanting against those who do not. Like I said, a very tedious project. But in the end, if you're really lucky, you just might find that needle in a haystack you've been looking for. However, if you're not so lucky, you may find yourself disappointed, or at least humored.

So, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to take you along on my dating adventures. And reveal to you lessons learned, as I learn them.
