100 coffee dates to find 'The One' - CNN.com

I read this yesterday and sort of nodded...reading but thinking the whole time....your problem is not what you think it is, lady.

Your problem is you think coffee dates work. And you are going out with too many 'maybes' in the first place.

too many maybes + too much coffee + lunch time = fatigue and no mood for romance

(that was my elementary equation for you numbers people)

Weird, I thought I read an article just like that in SELF. Hm. Anyway, I agree... lots of dates, but maybe there are unusuals that I wouldnt go for if I were selecting only a few. Like maybe I'm pruning too much. Although, cp, I think from the ppl you have agreed to go out with (or at least converse with), I don't think you'd get accused of that.

Some of them seem crazy

I have a dilemma. I have never had these dates.

Do I want these dates?

Man. It sounds so entertaining in theory!

Must think deeply about this.

No... actually VB. My sister called me on her ride home from a 16 hour shift AND me just getting home from a party so I have been laughing non-stop for the last 40 minutes or so. We were in rare form as they say.

I am going to have to think on this one...

I agree with your equation

but...

you can't know you have avoided a really bad first date if you never went on the date. You don't know...it could have been a great date.

(sorry merging my thoughts about your threads - trying to be succinct - lol!! I know - I never pull it off well.)

Coffee is a last resort... Anything during the day starts you off at a negative with something to overcome.
