Hello All,
FYI, I'm not really on a hiatus, its that I normally blog from work, but since I'm out in the open of the office now *coughsomeonesnitchedcough* I won't be blogging as often, not until I replace or repair my PC. So..anyways, I asked a good Blogger friend of mine to write a blog about Dating in DC..after all she is the DCDATINGDIVA (her blog dcdatingadventures.blogspot.com )
So give it up for my girl, please read, enjoy and print it out

Master The Art of Multi-Dating
Yes, you can! Remember that??? Well pull it back out, cause yes, YOU too, can be the ultimate multi-tasker. I learned at an early age how to “kill two birds with one stone”. Not that I am a bird killer, but I’m all about making the most of my day. I do need time to consume my vodka, well now, I’ve switched my favorite drink, but that’s another subject.
Diva what are you talking about????
Well DATING of course! I want you to improve your dating life! I decided it’s ok for me to reveal a couple of my secrets. Here’s one. You too can go on three (or more, if you got it like that) dates in one day, and still have time for the gym, a nap, or shoe shopping! Here’s how.
First, make sure you have options. When going out, I like to keep my options open, and not schedule long dates, especially first dates. The longest a first date should be is MAX 2 hours. If it’s someone who you’ve been out with before & enjoy their company, well that’s different...and yes, I’ve broken this rule a few times, and trust me, it wasn’t always pretty...I’ve learned from my mistake...
Second, make sure plans are made in advance. DO NOT make last minute plans with someone. If he (or she) is calling or texting you that afternoon, to see what you are doing that night...DON’T DO IT!!! You have a social life, remember? Make sure they are cognizant of your time too.
Third, maximize your lunch hour. Ummm perfect way to have a quickie, and still have the evening free.
Happy hour. Enough said. Be sure to let your “potential” know that you have plans or “something to do” at 7:30pm, but you would love to meet them for drinks at 5:30pm. After you escape happy hour... go & enjoy dinner with the number one draft pick. If you are on that super plan, and are not worn out...you can always schedule a “dessert” date for 9:30pm.
Doing the plan on a Saturday or Sunday??? Maximize your day with brunch dates, afternoon movie or museum dates, and of course, don’t forget to squeeze in that nap, so you’re well rested for your evening festivities...
Diva “Cause I love to spread joy & happiness when I can, and drink vodka...”
DC club, relationship, friendship and other views, ideas and news. The opinions, perceptions and experiences of a single girl from DC. The opinions expressed on here have very little (if at all) to do directly with other people's lives. These are HER experiences. If they relate to you thats great (or not). Perhaps you can provide some insight. Perhaps you can learn something.

diva,
you are really silly for this one. i guess it does work though. good look. i just don't know how you don't tire yourself out.
What can I say!!!
So Tunde, how many dates have you been on in one day???
Red Bull's your friend
I guess if you are in search of exposure, it is there for you if you need it.
I'm more interested in the driving force that some women seem to have as far as needing attention. I think that it is a basic emotional need for all people to be thought of as interesting, but to take it to the extreme of going on multiple dates as some sort of affirmation is going a tad far.
Sure, if you're a poor but good-looking woman and you need brothers to take you out to breakfast, lunch, and dinner with all the entertainment in between then I guess this would be a good option. Eventually though, this plan might prove to be more trouble than it is worth.
What if all of these different men start expecting something for all of these dates? I guess it would be good for a woman that had to do a lot of research on penises...
could ja' teach me some moves,D.C Dating huh I'ma check you out see what that blog thang hittin on lol.
First Dandini, you are taking this post wayyyyy too seriously. Lighten-up. This isn't about getting people to pay for your meals, it's about having fun & maximizing your time. You can go Dutch.
And it's not just for girls, if guys want to have options, which they usually keep em opened too, you too can save your Sundays for relaxing & squeeze it all in on Saturday!!!
Also, the whole guys paying for dates thing is another blog worthty topic...
@ EagleBird - LOL. Whatcha wanna know. I can try! Looking forward to it
It is funny to put this sort of interaction within the same context of the other blog on social networking sites. I look at them as both the same. Maybe I took it a little too seriously, but there doesn't appear to be any quality in the interactions if they are merely in it to "maximize their time."
Life is quick but the only interacts that seem to leave an indelible mark are the one's that we put time and effort into.
I guess if you are looking for filler, and a shallow self-absorbed life then there are probably no worries to be had if you go out with three different dudes every weekend. I'm pretty sure guys aren't jumping on this modus operandi because one, it costs too much even going dutch, and two the behavior is likely to get him further away from actual goals.
