There comes a day in every woman's life where she puts away the Haagen Dazs ice cream, takes her first shower in a month, puts on her makeup, and gets back into the dating game...
After many failed attempts at online dating (see Houston, We Have a Problem and Cupid Suitor #1: The Lawyer for more details), I finally hit it big a few months ago. Unwritten Stories had me at first country song. His profile referenced Josh Turner's Why Don't We Just Dance, and, being an avid dancer, the name lured me in. In true Generation Y fashion, I Googled the song and low and behold, I found what is quite possibly the cutest music video ever made.

I messaged him, and there began my conversation with The Writer. On our first date, I found out that while I had been blogging all summer about the trials and tribulations of online dating, he had been working on a novel about dating in the 21st century which included his many odd experiences with online dating. It was like fate had finally come knocking at my door. The first date lasted a record 5 hours- a true accomplishment in the cryptic world of OkCupid, the world where I had learned how to systematically annihilate anyone who couldn't satisfy the protocol (refer to Stupid Cupid: A Guide to Online Dating for protocol specifics). And so, a new romance was born.
This explains my hiatus for the past few months. I've been so busy honeymooning (okay, maybe I've been working a bit as well) that I haven't had time to write. But I'm back! And, after suffering from some serious writer's block, I finally know what to do with the challenge of rebranding Single in the City...Apparently Cupid wasn't so stupid after all ;)
From here on out this blog will focus on what it means to be a Twirty-something. What is 'twirty,' you ask? Urban Dictionary knows all. I hope you enjoy the new material ;)
