A New Beginning

Now that I have finished my first marathon, the next task in my life is upon me...finding a new GF. This time is different. I want to earn this one, not be given it. It has been 6 months since my last GF which means I am overdue. I have been officially over Vanessa for one month. It is a lot harder than I thought it would be to find a significant other going into this. Hell, its so easy on TV. I have learned a lot in the last 6 months. I went on a rebound date in June off OkCupid.com...awful. I got no response on about 20 messages on match.com which taught me that online dating is the answer. The girls I messaged though were probably the most highly sought after, so I can reconsile those non rejects. And finally, tonite I got my first EVER official rejection. First EVER. However, though there is a hint of a bad feeling, the girl was relatively nice about it and she was jewish so it probably would have never gone anywhere anyway. This is big for me though. If I am ever going to get where I want to be, rejection is going to NEED to happen and I am going to have to develop a thick enough skin that I wont care. SO, it starts. This blog will be the stories, the feelings...mainly the lessons that I need to remember. So, one down, hopefully many more to come and just hopefully, I will find the right girl.
