Shut up and PAY ATTENTION!

What are YOU doing this coming December? Yes, all of December. Ok, I'll give you the few days around Xmas and NYE off because I guess *family* is important. And as for God's chosen people, you can take your Chaunaka (I still don't know how to spell that) but keep SOME time in December open. Especially if you're single. And especially if you're a lady. *Why?* you ask. Because Berryfine and I have stumbled upon something spectacular. Jess and Becky of WTFisupwithmylovelife are coming to ATLANTA in December!!! And they want to interview YOU and ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is of course, if you're cultivating a Gaggle.



Jess and Becky are two amazing women in NYC who have created a website that is being turned into a book and movie in the somewhat near future that's all about Today's Dating Life. Say you just met a guy friend for coffee - and it was a casual catch-up, NBD, but a quick chat about life turns into hours at the coffee shop, he pays, and suddenly looks much cuter than you remember him looking before. When you hug goodbye and he kisses you on the cheek you get slight butterflies, he walks you to your car and says "we should do this again sometime, what are you doing next Tuesday?" and you get in your car and think, "was that a date?" the whole way home. OR, you've joined a kick-ball league and you meet a new guy that's pretty effing adorable. You casually flirt on the field and after the game you head to the local pub to get a few pitchers of beer with the team and you find yourself chatting him up the whole time. You're starting to crush and he seems really interested. You find yourself asking "is he into me? he asked for my number but is that because he likes me or because he thinks we'll be good friends?"

Ambigudates. If you've ever had anything like this happen to you, you've been on an ambigudate. OR, perhaps it's a networking lunch that turns into you talking about family and where you see yourself romantically in 5 years as opposed to the merger your company is heading towards. Or maybe a new love interest invites you to a party but wants to "meet you there", yet then he spends the whole night never leaving your side. In the world of mixed signals and everyone being to afraid to say how they feel about someone for fear of getting hurt, there's TONS of ambiguity and dates that really weren't dates. And non-dates that start relationships. Lord knows we all have confusing relationships with the opposite sex that seem to supply us with a never-ending list of questions of why men and women act the way they do. Well Jess and Becky will be here to dish with the ladies of Atlanta about all of this and more over cocktails in December. They want to help educate the world about where dating life is headed and they want US to help figure it all out. So, if you're interested in being part of the project, let me know! Berryfine and I will be happy to keep you informed of dates/places/times when everything is solidified.

So ladies, keep cultivating your gaggles and remember the great/sad/hilarious/awkward stories that come from them. They'll be good material for December!
