Today is the day of my last YSA conference ever. The more I think about that, the more excited I become. I think that I am getting used to the idea of moving on and liking it more as I go. Still though, I need to make the most of this day. My days here are not over yet, I still have a few months until I am 31. So, my goal today is to meet 10 new men. Lofty? Sure, but completely obtainable. The place should be overrun with single men....probably not very old, but single nonetheless. I am not going to be too picky and I'm not going to worry about who anyone else things I should or should not speak to. I will fearlessly approach the men and make some new friends if nothing else. I even had a dream last night of success. I met a nice guy named Chris. And he was a red sox fan.
As I approach this goal, I also want to keep in mind some truths that I stole from the "It's Your Technique" website. Another girl, with the help of the dating coach, posted these a few weeks ago and I loved them. So, here they are:
1. The kind of person I'm looking for is looking for someone like me. They will see me for what I have to offer and will respond to and invest in me.
2. When I am with someone who is emotionally mature, I can be vulnerable, imperfect, and make mistakes, and still be accepted, valued, and loved.
3. Sometimes I will feel and appear foolish, but most people don't notice or care. They are too busy thinking about themselves, their lives, and/or worrying about what others are thinking of them.
4. With God, all things are possible!
I LOVE these! They are so helpful for me, so I'm off. Off to have a successful day and meet new friends and practice interacting with the opposite sex.

People often refer to older single's as 'leftovers.' Well, I am no leftover, nor do I deserve to settle for someone that is.
Here's What I'm Working On:
1. Get down to my goal weight
2. Set my finances up for a better future!
Past goal accomplished in 2012:
Date 40 men!

The Experiment: 40 Guys...One Year
As I enter the world of blogging, I find myself in an unforseen predicament. I am a 30 year old, single female living in...Utah?? This, I can assure you, is not how most young mormon girls imagine the destination of their life's paths at this point. No...we grew up dreaming of being the wife and mother that we were taught should be our foremost goal in life. Yet, here I am, with no husband in the foreseeable future. Contrary to any former misconceptions, I am still alive and you know what...I love it and am living it to its fullest, despite my marital status!! Some people may define me by this, but I am proud of my accomplishments and the person I have become today. Even so, like every other woman, whether they admit it or not, I want to get married and I'm frustrated with my progress in this area! I have come to the realization however, that in order to achieve my goals in life, I have to be proactive and take charge. Who says the guys have to do all the work?? I was recently challenged to try dating 40 men in my quest to find, "the one." While a seemingly daunting task, I think I am up for the challenge. I have created this blog to not only track my progress, but to share what I know and have learned or will learn about the esoteric "world of dating." I can assure you that I am no expert here but I intend to give this my best effort, seeking new methods of meeting men, striving for better dating ideas, and in the process, hopefully, creating a more dateable/marriageable me.
