You've got to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince.
This is the story of one woman dating 100 men in an effort to find Mr Right

I wonder what motivates us when we're attracted to someone. I mean, I know we've discussed looking through other people's eyes and all that, but I wonder how our view of ourselves affects our choices. Also, are our choices affected by our level of confidence? As, for most normal people, confidence waxes and wanes. So if you're in a lower-confidence period, does it mean you're vulnerable to choosing men who aren't suitable to you when your confidence returns?

Not that I've got low confidence levels, but I've had a bit of an ego bruising from my last relationship, which ended in November and I'm wondering if I've been accepting dates with men that I normally wouldn't consider. That sounds arrogant, but it's not meant to be because I'm talking individual taste here and not saying that anyone is not worthy or anything like that.

I've been lucky so far in that I've been able to build up my ego again because the five men I have been out with have 'liked' me more than I've 'liked' them. But I think that's all about to change. Eeek!

I've just found Man No6 and I'm scared already. It's made me think I might have been subconsciously punching below my weight, if you know what I mean. Maybe I was choosing safe men?

Man No6 is atractive, articulate and intelligent and really sure of himself. Also he's older than me and I'm used to dating much younger men. He contacted me through an internet dating site and I've only seen his photo and spoken to him on the phone so far, but I found myself feeling nervous five minutes into the call and I felt the urge to impress him.

We're going to have to put the lid on that!

We talked for a long time and we can't meet up for a couple of weeks because I'm going away. But he did say before he put the phone down: "You'd better not fall in love in the next two weeks because I'm going to be very dissappointed if you do."

How exciting!
