Nina and I are on a new mission to meet boys. Before, we would just complain about how hard it is to meet someone, but not really do anything about it. Well, except the speed dating, which actually was somewhat successful for Nina. So we're doing it again next week. But we have made a list of other options as well, and we are going to try at least one a week. Honestly, I don't think we'll be all that successful, because I think when you're looking for a boy, you're not going to find one. But I think our mission will be fun, so I'm willing to try.
1. Speed dating
2. Matchmaker (Nina and I are going to pool our resources and send her to a matchmaker. Because first of all, I think she is more likely than me to find a good match. And second of all, I'm at the point where I don't think I even want to get married. I really can't picture myself feeling that way about someone AND having him feel the same way about me. I just don't think it's going to happen.)
3. Happy Hour (We are going to ask some of our friends who work downtown to recommend bars that people go to after work.)
4. Home Depot (We are going to wander around and ask cute boys for help.)
5. Classes (We are going to take a class that is likely to have lots of guys in it.)
6. Phone book (We found this idea on the internet and thought it was hilarious. It said to use the Yellow Pages and look up a guy who has a profession you're interested in, then call him and ask if he'll meet you for coffee to do an interview for school or work or something. This could work with my teaching; I could look up guys who could come and talk in my classroom.)
7. Playing pool
8. University of Chicago (We figure we would hang out at the library or a coffee shop and do homework on a regular basis.)
9. Become regulars at a bar
10. Borrow someone's dog and take it for walks
Like I said, I really don't see myself getting married and living happily ever after, but the process of trying to meet people will be fun. And maybe Nina will meet someone; I signed her up on the matchmaking website tonight, so they should be calling her tomorrow.
