(side note)

While I was on the exciting “high” from the fact that Terrell and I matched on Wednesday, I nonchalantly checked my email while gushing with my girlfriend on just how exciting it would be if she hit things off with Travis, and I with Terrell…and how we could go on double dates…and have a double wedding*…and let our future babies go on play dates…and…

And…oh my goodness!...Mark wrote back!

He apologized profusely about not writing me for nearly a month and said that he was just really busy around Christmas and was just getting around to catching up on emails. He hoped that I didn’t think he was a jerk. Mark said that his cousin, my co-worker, indeed told him that she thought we would be perfect for one another, but that he’d let me and time decide that. He sent a rather lengthy email introducing himself (impressive) and then asked how my week was going and if I had any more questions for him.

I made him wait until Saturday before responding. (Hey…don’t judge me…he made me wait nearly a month!) I’m patiently waiting for his response.

*Oh, of course I’m totally kidding about the double wedding bit…

a fresh start

This is my second attempt at blogging, the first one lasted about 4 entries, before I started feeling like my life wasn't exciting enough to blog about and I quit. But, I have hope for this one. This blog has a purpose. Half-inspired by a friend who has created a similar blog about her dating adventures in SF, and half-inspired by the deplorable state of my social life, I'm hoping to document the process of dating and finding true love. I'm secretly waiting to finally feel that joy that my engaged and married friends are always alluding to. I'm finally taking an active role in this process. No more "waiting around for it to happen when I least expect it." Wish me luck! (And hope that I don't make too much of a fool of myself along the way!) -L
