if you've ever wondered, "what if i said yes" to everyone that asked you out...

courtesy of fark...

short version: this woman did exactly that to anyone who asked her out. for one full year. and she wound up married to someone she met during that time. long version here.

commentary: while i'm generally suspicious of large age gaps in a relationship, one never does know.

but the thing is, this is one of those ideas that if a friend suggested it to you, you'd laugh him/her out of your home/the bar/wherever.

Hmmm, I need to come up with some kind of idea, do it for a year, keep a diary, write a book, become a bestseller, then sell the movie rights to hollywood.

On second thought it would probably end up as a sitcom.

I wonder if you just journaled your everyday life, totally normal(or in some cases here not normal) life and just make that a book. Mine would totally be called "Hiding out, my year in the sticks of the midwest" Or something else alluding to the fact I live in the middle of nowhere, honest I do.

I can't say I've ever wondered this, but I think it'd be a really neat experience. I'd likely tell people what I was doing in a nice way prior to the date so they didn't waste their time and money if they didn't want to (e.g. lesbians may have no interest in dating a straight or bi woman), but I don't see what harm could come of it.

Isn't this what spawned the Seinfeld show?

One, on the age gap thing...

While I'm not sure if I'd have married him had the relationship continued, but one of the most vibrant, endearing, spiritually connected and sexually satisfying relationships I've ever had was with a man 28 years my senior. It was rather unexpected, and while we both had a pause when we figured out how old the other was, it happens. While it's not something I'd go specifically seeking again, should another possibility with similar characteristics present itself, I would not be so quick to turn it down.

Second thought, on publishing the diary thing...

Why not? Anais Nin did it. Of course, she wrote with no intention of publishing, and only did so in bits and pieces. I think if we thought we'd be writing for an audience, it would tend to color our recollection of daily events somewhat...

Just sayin'.
