I am < > this close to making out with my pillow

I’ve been out of dating commission for a while. This fall has been nuts. I had surgery, I worked 14 hour days all through October and I moved to a new neighborhood. My dating life has been on hiatus. It’s been necessary but now I’m emerging out of the chaos and I would really like to meet someone. Because, as I told Meg last night, I am this close < > to making out with my pillow.

Here’s my problem: I am dang sick of internet dating. I hate it. It’s fun to do for a while but then it get’s super lame. So this brings up the stressful issue of how to meet people outside of match.com and craigstlist. I’m beyond going out to bars and having one night stands. I am NOT looking for a serious relationship. I’m looking for a low maintenance relationship. The dude that will spend the night on weeknights, eat frozen waffles with me in my kitchen in his underwear and not expect that we hang out every Friday or Saturday.

Easy enough, right? Dudes hate commitment!! Now where to find these dudes that aren't gross. I talk to everyone I can at any event I go to. Readings, parties, whatever. I find most men are 1) married or 2) gay. Sometimes you strike on a rare single gem but then they either hit on your friend or there is negative zero chemistry. So what to do? I have no idea. But as I am officially back in the game, I will figure it out and share it with everyone who reads this blog (hello 2-3 readers!).

Wish me luck. (and my pillow – it might be a rough night)
