For those of you who previously followed this blog, I completely wiped it about a week ago. It didn’t really contain anything of interest, so I’m sure you’re not in mourning. It never really had a focus. So to ring in the new year (24 days in) I’m ready to make a fresh start.

I’m throwing it out there. I’m pretty new to the dating scene. Though I’m 26 years old, I just recently began dating. Why you ask? There’s a lengthy complicated answer to that. Maybe it’s not complicated.

In the past year, I’ve lost 65lbs. I still have another 65 to go, actually. I’ve been a little bit of a manatee for most of my life. There were guys who came along that were interested in me over the years, but I was never interested in them. They were usually creepy mccreepsters who were trying to find a girl to sleep with for the evening. No thanks. Some of the guys interested in me were overweight, like myself. Though it sounds shallow, and maybe it is, I’ve never been attracted to heavy set guys. It finally dawned on me one day that if I wanted to find an averaged weighted guy, I was going to have to become an average weighted girl. Guys are visual creatures.
Aside from wanting to lose weight to attract the type of fellas that attract me, I want to be healthy for myself. I want to be a wife and mother one day. I don’t want to be the type of mom who sends her kids out in the yard to play soccer. I want to be the mom that goes out to the backyard with her kids and plays soccer.

I’m not a bar scene girl. I’m a Christian and remaining a virgin until I’m married. For most girls in the Christian world, (at least the portion I’m from) a girl meets her husband in high school, college, through friends, or at church. Clearly, all of these things have failed for me. I finally decided to explore other avenues of dating. My friend, Bryce, met her husband, Mathew, through eharmony. My cousin, Ryan, met his wife, Kathryn, the same way. I decided to give it a try. After three months, nada. I was very briefly in communication with a few guys, but no date ever came of it. Then a friend, Jane, who shared my situation, went out on a few dates with some guys she met on match.com. I was only on it for 3 days and had two guys lined up in that time wanting to take me out. Therefore, I’m sticking with match.com and seeing where it takes me.
In this little corner of the internet, I’m going to be chronicling my adventures in this new phase of life. I’ll be changing everyone’s names, even my own. Thanks for following!
