The Single Life: 14 Dates In 14 Days

Ok so I’m getting comfortable with the idea of “untitled mass dating experiment” this summer. I’m leaning towards a a little mini experiment/ social life jump start. I was originally thinking about doing it around August but I just realized that is when I’ll be starting my next theatre gig over at Kensington Arts- so this maybe a summer adventure after all.

So after looking at my calendar I am going to pick a date (sounds like I’m getting married):

July 12, 2009 – July 26th, 2009

14 Dates in 14 Days!

I will attempt to lineup and successfully go on 14 dates in the span of two weeks this summer. I hope to work my friends, co-workers, bloggers, for some willing contestants dates and maybe I’ll even try a few crazy blind dates as well.

I am intending to write all about it on my blog and if I am lucky after that many dates somebody will be willing to go out with me for a second time after all is said and done.

Now to there are three things I need to do in order to pull this off:

1. Think of a bunch of date ideas

2. Figure out where I’m going to find 14 women to date

3. Put the above two together for a summer of craziness

So let’s look at item one, I’ve been thinking a lot about creative date ideas and there’s a few articles that have thrown out a lot of different ideas:

• To Blog or… has a great list of 12 Great DC Date Ideas. I particularly liked the idea of attending an Embassy Event, it sounds so sophisticated.
• It’s rather challenging to attempt to drop a lot of money on a lot of dates during these recession times so I find the Washington Post’s Social Life Stimulus Plan very helpful.
• The Washingtonian also published their own dating idea article around the same time- must of been a trend.
• I’m not suave enough to score a smooch on the first date but I had to note the best make-out spots in Washington. It could be helpful later.
• My favorite magazine, Men’s Health always has great articles on date ideas. Some are outdoorsey, and others encourage celebrating obscure holidays or just getting naked. The dating article I liked the most was their recent First Date bootcamp.

Alright now I got my brain flowing- any other date ideas out there? May I should just cut to the chase and make up a recession dating coupon like Foxymoron.
