Desperate or genius?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
We talked a little last week about simply going to holiday parties to have the best time possible—show up, mingle, meet some folks, have some cocktails and go home. No need to stress over finding a date.
But at least one single woman in Atlanta has made it her goal to not only find a date for her company’s holiday party, but to also have a great time doing it. For the full story, click here.
I’m encouraged by Karen’s bravery to put up a very public blog to find a date. It’s not that different than a dating service, but her blog doesn’t require a fee to view and she’s using her full, real name. Plus, it sounds as though she’s being very open with her coworkers about her goals.
Have you ever gone to extreme measures to find a date for a particular event — holiday party, wedding, family function? Maybe to save face around an ex, maybe to just to have fun? Have you ever bid on a date at an auction? Do unusual dates lend themselves to an extra dose of creativity or excitement because of the way they are set up?
Men, does something like this just make women sound desperate, or does it simply open up doors for you that wouldn’t have been open before? If all women took a more “open door” approach to dating, how would the dating scene change?
Women, how open are you about your dating situation? Do you advertise yourself well when you’re single? I mean, would you be willing to put yourself out there this way?
Do you spread the word when you need a date or when you’ve just broken up with someone, or do you leave it to fate that people will catch on?
