Program of Three

Apparently it is no longer good enough to date around or go on a certain number of dates a week. If one works a program of three - that is find three men to date who one actually likes - then one can make a proper decision about one's future mate. The theory posits that often one meets one exciting said guy and one becomes obsessive and over-emotional. Since one slammed down said book and curled said lip, perhaps this book makes a decent point. Juggle and remain rational. Could it be that easy?

According to a certain author whose name shall remain a secret and whose book, Love in a Certain Number of Days. Too embarrassing to say how many (90), but clients who work the program get results. The author is a therapist, as well as a pushy Jewish woman, i.e. she knows her shit and she's going to tell you about it.

So far I have one candidate and will go on date 2 tomorrow. What you need to know: Japanese food. West side. More soon. He has promise and I need not jinx it. At least not yet. I no longer believe in fate or skill but simple luck and of course, witches curses.

I had to share the email I received below from a totally different suitor. I ask you: is he on drugs? (FYI: Without seeing my internet profile you may assume you are missing some references and that the email makes some sense. You would be wrong with the exception of the Chabon book.)

One is (perpetually) mystified by men like this, a little confused, a little surprised, and yes, there was some defrosting, if not a warming of the heart.

Note
c. I thought about sending you b sharp but didn't want to sound condescending. It's all the same I though, I guess. You looked at my profile and you were heart broken. I know. I'm sorry. You know what they say about the early bird? But it's okay; it's nothing massive quantities of alcohol won't cure.

The Amateur’s Guide huh? That's a little advance for me. If they had like a really basic basic guide on manhood, well that I'd buy. I mean, I know nothing; like to put a photo on match.com shirtless. Is that manly? I don't see the women doing it.

I was about to wish you good luck, but then was going to write extra luck, but you don't need extra luck. Actually to be on an even playing field with the other ladies, you need a lot less luck. Still wishing you find the guy.

Oh, those nerdy, neurotic, scared, bumbling men (for lack of a better word) you cross by way of this site, be nice. We's people too.
