What is this all about??

Hello batfans!

Well finally I am getting off my duff and getting this thing started. I've had a few people ask me what in the world this is all about, so my first blog will be an explanation.

1-I am single again after a few years out of the dating pool.

2-When I started looking to expand my social network, which had dwindled to almost nothing due to an unfortunate choice in partners which we will not spend a lot of time on at the moment, I realized that I wanted to do things a bit differently this go round.

See, normally I am a date one guy at a time type, and I end up in relationships with the first person I date that I click with. This is all well and good, but what ends up happening is as time goes on and emotions are in play I realize we are not a good match at all! This leads to an unhappy me, and normally some tragic breakup.

3-Since I am somewhat intelligent at times, though in the ways of love I am a blind naive fool most often, I decided that this time around I would do it differently. Instead of dating a bunch of people, or dating just one, I decided to look for friends first..get to know people, then we can decide if dating is an option once we've established a friendship. I know, I know, novel concept (not!) but it is novel to me.

So I embarked on my quest, and I have found, so far, that 9 out of 10 times there is something hilariously funny that happens during the 'meet and greet' phase of every new friend I encounter. At first, I was using my online dating profiles to record the funny things that happened, but then I started running out of room! Oh the horror! So this blog was born.

I encourage anyone else out there over 30 (I know the title says 35, but 30 is close) that has funny internet dating stories to email me and I will make sure to share the cream of the crop with the rest of our batfans. I will also protect the names of the not so innocent and the innocent if you so desire.

So, sit back, read, and enjoy the show!
