When Women Have a Powerful Voice

Dear Busy Until Readers,

I have heard from a few of my nearest and dearest non-dateable guy friends that our new little forum is "scary". I only find that TOTALLY hysterical because the thing is, we talk about ALL of this stuff just as publicly before. It just happened to be over Martinis or hang overs or tears. And trust you me - ALL these stories (new and old) were told and retold just as fast before.

I think it's the written word that scares them.

In the Name of Dating,
Amanda

i'll be busy EMAILING

hey ladies (and gents if you feel like ribbing us with some stories about OUR mistakes), the i'll be busy til email address is ready to go.

if you'd like to email us with some great tales of woe... or joy... or hilarity (my personal favorite), please email us at phddating@gmail.com. we'd love to hear from you. do it, do it, DO IT.

i'm about to tell you about the worst first date i've ever been on... so in honor of my worst first date, let's hear yours. email us your stories, and we'll vote on the worst.

hugs and butt pats ladies.

Why thank you sir, I was totally confused why I am still single

"Your goals" (at the time I was gearing up for a potential Masters in Anthropology and contemplating a tour with the Peace Core. But also partying like it was 1969 at Studio 54), he said "lack luster and fantasy, and therefore we wouldn't be a good match."

Oh, did I mention we were half dressed in a hot tub swigging champagne out of the bottle somewhere in the wee hours of the morning? And He, he wanted to be a rock star at the young and dreamable age of 33.

Crushing then, laughable now.

stunning opening lines from strangers...

when one dares to start dating via the interweb, one must prepare oneself for the inevitable onslaught of douchebaggery that's surely to follow.

please enjoy the following gem that i received a few days ago:

"I'm new in town and can't find my way around; could I have directions to your place?"

and then this one from a few days before that, which was lovingly titled "morning WIFE":

"LOL

You have a lot of fans...

Now you have ONE more. ;)"

i would also like to mention that winking emoticons are just the key to any woman's heart, guys. really... throw those babies in there as often as possible, because next to 3am text messages of 'hey baby' and asking us to split the check on a first date, winking emoticons are next on our favorite list.

WELCOME to "I'll be busy til mid-July"... the blog dedicated to all the wonderful ways in which men make mistakes in courting, dating, and breaking up with us. please let us know if you have any material of your own to add.

cheers ladies!!
