"and the City"

In a generation of online dating services - whether it be Match, J-date,
E-harmony, and so on, some of us are still hesitant to sign up.

We're the ones who think that meeting someone in real life first (then they can start sending text messages, IMs, & e-mails - but that's another story) is possible.

It's "the story" we're after - the tale that our grandchildren will hear about... our good old days.

So you can only imagine all the different ways we meet these characters!

Quite often my girls and I will sit around (with cocktails in hand) and give the report of how awful (or rarely how great) our latest date was and that's when it hit us... we should write about this!

These stories are too incredible to make up yet they're so unbelievable.

The great thing about my dynamic group of gal pals is that they are not all about having "the story" like I am (some are online dating, some don't think they will have grandchildren, and some just can't tell a story). We all have different ways that we meet guys - through friends, through work, at bars, in the diner, the dreaded parental set-ups. We are attracted to various qualities and we each have unique standards (I guess that's how we CAN stay friends).

In this blog, we will share with you the intricacies of our encounters on the dating scene in NYC. Think "Sex and the City" without so much sex... so I guess its just "and the City".

So welcome and stay tuned for stories like The Gypsy Artist, The Boob Crusher, The Troll, and The F'ed Up Fireman.
