Sign-Ups: Week 3

Oh my goodness, this is hard!

Last night I had the gals come over to help me arrange the calendar of dates. We had it all figured out and by the time I went to bed, I still had one open spot. Now? I have too many guys!!

Over night there were quite a few guys who signed up for my little project.

I am completely overwhelmed! I truly thought I would be scrambling to find dates and now I have to turn some of them down. How the heck am I going to do that?!!!

This is definitely the hardest part of the project, but after sorting through availability dates, I think I've got the perfect schedule. I just have to get a few more confirmations on the dates, then I'll post the calendar and start introducing the guys.

Dating starts in less than a week! I'm so super excited!!!

Sign-Ups: Week 2

It has been another successful week for my little dating project. I only need 9 more guys to sign up, so even if you don't think you know anyone, tell your friends because they might know someone who wants to sign up.

Last week I asked you to vote on whether I should introduce the guys before I go out with them or not. Two-thirds of you said Yes! If I have enough guys by February 21st, I will close the sign-up, finalize the schedule and start posting about each of the guys.

Until then, I would like you to meet the Zombie Dalmuti. Someone actually took the time to create this profile and I think it's hilarious!

Age: Died in 2003 at 28. Currently would have been 36.

Sign-Ups: Week 1

This past week has been great! My friends have been so supportive and have really helped by putting the word out there.

I have already had quite a few guys sign up, even though this crazy project is still 3 weeks away. I get this extremely giddy feeling every time a new guy signs up - So Fun!!!

My friends, family and total strangers have started following me on facebook, twitter and this blog. Along with that, they've also had numerous questions. I'll answer a few of them here:

• Why do you ask if the guy is LDS? I'm not an expert, but I believe that in any relationship, one of the most sensitive subjects can be religion. My religion is very important to me. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, also known as "LDS" or "Mormon". I feel like I'm a pretty flexible person. I learn to appreciate new things all the time. But religion is one thing I will never bend on. My religion is the core of who I am. I want to be in a relationship with someone who shares my core beliefs. I have nothing against other religions. In fact, I find religion in general to be fascinating and I love learning about other religions. I just don't want to walk into a relationship with a potential and almost certain fight. So that's why I limit myself to dating within my own religion.


• What happens if you don't get enough guys? If I don't get 25 guys to sign up, I will call on two of my best friends to help me out. These boys have been there for me every time I need a date for anything and they have already agreed to be there once again if I need them. :)


• Who are the guys that have signed up? I have been debating if I should introduce everyone to the guys who have signed up before making the schedule. My initial feeling was no. But . . . ah, what the heck! . . . let's put it to a vote! I've created an official ballot in the sidebar, so cast your vote! By this time next Tuesday, we'll see if you get to meet the guys before the dates. Exciting!

The Plan

. . . all before I turn 30

The plan is to find 25 different guys who are willing to go out with me starting March 1, 2011. After that I will pick 5 of those guys to go out on a second date. Finally, if this all works out, I will have found one special guy to accompany me to my 30th birthday dinner at the end of the month. He will get to meet my friends, family and probably some strangers, and see the fun shenanigans they get into when they're all thrown together in the same room.

Your job is to help me find the guys!

I've already started putting the schedule together but I need more guys.

Lots more!

So if you know of an outgoing, adventurous, single guy between the ages of 26-36, send him my way.

I'm lots of fun! I promise.

Guys can sign up by emailing beks30in30@gmail.com.
