April 22 - 37 Weeks and Deadline Proud
I was featured in an article on CNN's website today: "Finding Love on a Deadline." I think it was a fair article. She talked with people who were on both sides of the fence. Once you've read the article, why not post your comments on their website, as well as here. I'd love to learn your thoughts.
Well as someone who is in the thick of things, I can say after 15 weeks it's been the best adventure! This time last year I didn't have a deadline, but I didn't have any prospects either. My love life was practically nonexistent - actually that's been my story for most of my 20-something adult life. I'm not a 25 year old or even a 35 year old worried about not being married. I'm actually not worried at all. I'm a mature, happy, successful woman who wants to find love - lasting love, and at this stage in the game, I have nothing to lose, so I might as well have fun in the process. The 52 weeks is so much more than finding a husband (read my mission statement to learn more). I've learned so much about myself, and about men, and about having happy healthy relationships. All that while living my life to the fullest. This is what the 52 week journey has done for me so far. I wished every other self-imposed deadline that I had in my life produced as many positive results!
Whether you are a member of a dating website, or you accept your family or friends' offers to set you up on blind dates, you are being proactive when it comes to finding love. What are some of the results you've seen?
