A good friend of mine was tolerating another session of me complaining about my singleness while walking together one afternoon. He shared with me that when he was in the same situation, he had to change how he was relating to finding a mate in order to have a different experience. For example, he would make up little games for himself to have a more lighthearted and fun approach to the on-line scene. He said “I always thought it would be fun to challenge myself to asking out one person a day, for 100 days, who I thought was totally out of my league…” then his eyes got wide and he turned to me and said “YOU should do THIS!!!”
After some discussion, I agreed. And I said I would write about it.
Spread the good news.
Please share your thoughts and experiences in the comments sections. Would love to see thousands stand up for this challenge. Really, what do you have to lose but your single status???
Men of NYC you are on notice: I’m coming for you. Now.
February 14, 2014 to May 25, 2014: 100 days, 1 man per day, 1 simple question: I find you attractive- will you go out with me?
“I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.” Anais Nin
