Ok so im contemplating this...i think it would be good to never limit yourself...just say YES to anyone who asks...you never know...would you guys try it? For a Full YEAR?

THE YEAR OF YES (Hyperion) is a memoir of the year that writer Maria Dahvana Headley put fate in charge of her love life. Weary of the kind of guys she seemed to always date, (sample line: "I'm listening to NPR...Do you want to come over and make out?") she decided to stop being so picky, and start going out with everyone who asked her. Yeah, everyone. Surely some of them would be different. They were.
Over the next 12 months, Maria ended up dating most of NYC: a homeless guy who thought he was Jimi Hendrix, a subway conductor, a mommy-obsessed millionaire, a guy who wanted her to bite his…well, you can guess, a woman who asked herto have her baby, an ice cream man who gave her a free cone – no euphemism here, he really did, a 70-year-old salsa dancer, a Playwright, a 30-year-old virgin,a Colombian Cowboy/Handyman, a Player King, a matched set of Princelings, a reincarnated dachshund owned by her mother in the early 70’s, and more. Many, many more. She fell apart. She fell over. She fell into a few beds. She fell out of a few beds. And most importantly, she fell in love. Twice.
The Year of Yes is the story of how one woman went looking for a new kind of love...and found a new kind of life.....

Yes.

Will anyone ask? No.

Seriously, I do not think I would want to give someone a false hope, by saying "yes" when I can not mean it.

Not that it matters, since no one will ask.

Are you nuts! The one time I said "yes, I'll go out with you" to someone outside of my yes zone, he showed up, from across the country, in a solar-rigged RV that he LIVED in, evidently planning, sight unseen, to stay 'til death do us part?

I know! Wouldn't this be a completely cool way to get from Calgary to California periodically?

In style?

With a bed?

I think starting to say Yes to more men that request communication and still reserving the right to yes or no to a meeting would be a good thing.

Yes! And she could pick us SoCal girls up and we could go join the LoveRV Tour 2010. I like it!

In the spirit of the thread, yes, it would be completely cool.
