Still hopping around

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

You'll have to forgive me if this doesn't make any sense. I've got a minging hangover

Anyway,

When I think something is as it is, there's always a new twist in this tale.

I was at the local pub yesterday and boyfriend (Man number 11) turned up. His ex girlfriend was there. He said he'd been round to her house and told her about us and she was fine with it but he'd promised not to 'rub her nose in it', meaning that he wouldn't be holding hands or being affectionate. When he left, he said: "Sorry I can't kiss you goodbye."

Is it me or should he be putting me first? I don't want to snog his face off in front of her - she seems like a really nice woman - but for him to not even give me a peck goodbye seems a bit strange to me. It kind of says: "You are lower down than my ex on the scale of importance."

Other than that he's been really lovely. He told me he thinks he's falling for me and that no one has ever had such a big impact on his life in such a short time.

But...

The thing is Man number 3 (Ed Norton who became my friend and got a girlfriend and then snogged my face off one night at my garden gate) rang me yesterday at the time of Man number 11's 'snubbing'. He's split up with his girlfriend and he wants to see me.

So I'm cooking him dinner tonight. He is my friend, so there's nowt wrong in this.

Is there?

My annoyance at No 11's mistreatment did fuel my decision to ask him round, but I like him anyway and I want to see him.

Oh, yes, and Richard Gere (Man number 6)keeps texting me.

Looks like 100 frogs is squashed but still alive!

In the American tradition of dating -and let's fact it they're the experts- you're doing absolutely nothing wrong by dating men numbers; 3, 6 & 11 simultaneously. Neither one needs to know details, depth of relationship, etc about the other ones (unless they're related and/or next door neighbours) until you've got your fickle head around which one floats your boat. I'm sure one clear winner will emerge eventually but for now don't put all your eggs in one basket. They are ALL your FRIENDS and you can see as many friends as you like for dates. And if you happen to accidentally fall into bed with more than one of them occassionally (not at the same time... or...hmmm) well that's between you & him and us of course!

I know Lala, and it does seem sensible to date them all at once. Trouble is my brain has been replaced by a big pink cloud and I'm not interested in anyone but number 11. My knees buckle when he looks at me!

Gone I am.

How will you manage if you don't immediately know that you don't like most of them? Squeezign one date into each week is hard enough, let alone an ever-increasing number of them as the nice ones accumulate! :) Do let us know. x

Hi Sienna,
I've actually met someone if you read the last few posts so am no longer dating. I got to Man number 11. A few short of the 100, I think you'll agree but that was the point of the exercise - to find someone.

To answer your question in the retrospective, though, I went out with almost all of them more than once. You can't tell if you like someone immediately, but you can tell if you hate them! There was only one of these and I didn't see him again. With all the others I used a 'wait and see' attitude. Made some good friends.

I had weeks where I had three dates and weeks where I had none - it turned out to be less structure and more spontaneity. A lot of nice men to date wasn't hard believe me :-) I enjoyed the whole experience so much that it took a special man to drag me away from it!
