It appears that I have some new readers! Thanks for stopping by, Wellesley sisters. Let me explain myself.
My name is R____, and I'm a born-and-raised Seattleite. I try and do good things to help the world, like save lives in my career at a community health center, buy food from farmers markets, and avoid clothes made in sweatshops. Like many of my Pacific Northwest brethren I am politically liberal, outdoorsy, and a vegetarian. I am also Jewish and 32 years old. I date men and one day, I hope to date the same man for more than a month, marry him, and create some little people that we can raise together.
I spent my twenties bouncing around the world, getting a couple degrees and learning languages before moving back to Seattle at age 29, hoping to find love in the Emerald City and make it my home. I thought that if I put some effort into dating I'd find a boyfriend in about six months- maybe twelve. It has now been over three years.
There have been 73 first dates so far- most off the internet- although I'm outgoing and meet men in person as well. I call my blog The Fourth Date because if I make it to four dates with the same man, that is a BIG DEAL.
I have a type: Men who have been arrested.
I have a definite NOT type: Men who work in tech... I have a flip phone.
Dating likes: Compassion, fun, men who can relate to people from different backgrounds, good sex, humility, corduroys, high energy levels, alcohol drinkers.
Dating dislikes: Beards, flannel, plaid, arrogance, polyamory, bad sex, anal sex, Amazon, Microsoft, racist/classist comments, boring men.
I try my best to be an honest and ethical dater because I know we all have feelings on the line. Sometimes I still fuck up.
My friends say my disastrous love life is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I disagree.
