You Can't Hurry Love

It has been a week, that is for sure.

Paul, the guy who I am suppose to have a lunch date with, FINALLY called me today. Instead of lunch he wanted to see what I was doing over the weekend. Don't men know that they are not suppose to call on Friday to see if a woman can fit them in over the weekend. As if I was waiting by the phone for him to call.

I did a little more love marketing today. I told a buddy of mine that I was looking of someone. His first response was that I didn't need anyone cause it would distract me from the career that I am building. I assured him that I am looking for someone who can come with me on my journey on the come up. As I talked to him, I got a slight feeling that he is a bit interested in me. While he is awesome there are so many reasons why we could never be. I will spare you all the details.

My friend Melissa tried to talk me into going to a singles event next week at AISH, some casino night. Can you say "oy vey". I do not have the stomach for a Jewish singles event at the moment. It is sad to say, but a Jewish singles event is my last resort.

The King of Queens is still the only one that makes my heart flutter. He simply does it for me. There are no word...(sigh)

As the Supremes sang..."you can't hurry love".....

Last Man on Earth

Every time I see the trailer for the movie, I Am Legend, all I keep thinking is.. a man that is as fine as that should not be left all by himself. Talk about needing a Singelringen. I would happily volunteer to be the last woman on earth!

Can the Love Guru help?

I missed a free 60 minute teleclass by love guru Blaire Allison (http://www.marryblaire.com/) tonight. The class was suppose to show me how to get rid of frustrations and fears when it comes to dating I am not one for all the lame classes out there for singles, but what Blaire was going to talk about sounded interesting. Hopefully she will offer it again soon!

As for men...Andre, the black Jewish guy, called again. I may give him a call back, he deserves a chance for his effort. The only guy that I am into at the moment is the King of Queens. He's not stepping up so I have to keep the options open. I try and put him in the back of my mind, but he always does something that gets me all hot and bothered.

It's the year of the soulmate, should I be concerned that it is almost over?

Luscious single,

Goy Boys and Stilettos!

I had brunch with the fabulous filmmaker Nancy Schwartzman (http://www.nancyschwartzman.com/)yesterday. She has found the love of her life, so she is on the look out for her friends. I put my order in with her, though I find that I don't necessarily have a type. I have a weakness for tall, Latin, and goy boys... but I truly am an equal opportunity lover. Fine is fine!

I have realized that this whole looking for love business is like branding and pr. You have to advertise and let everyone know that you are looking. Oy vey, it is exhausting. But truth be told I would much rather have all my fabulous peeps being on the look for me than doing it myself! How do serial daters do it!?!?!

Speaking of adverting. There is a Singelringen event coming up in Los Angeles. It sounds like a whole lot of fun and supports a great cause. ~Shoshi

Singelringen @ the Macy's Day Parade

Today started off splendidly! I went to watch the parade from the deck of the Avenue A Razofish office on 40th Street( www.avenuea-razorfish.com/enterprisesolutions). It was a friend of a friend hook up. We had a nice spread of breads and nutella (you can't go to a parade without nutella). I showed off my Singelringen to my friend, Disco, so of course we started talking about men. I got after Disco for not putting herself out in the market enough and told her she needed to attempt to meet more men. Though I heard her when she said she was busy not to mention emotionally drained. She was preaching to the choir with that.

Since I was in such a swanky office, I thought I would ask if there were any cute single men who worked there. The answer was "YES" and she said she would introduce them to Disco and me. A happy hour will be planned. Nice! Creative cuties, just my type. From the look and personality of some of the men who came out on the deck, there is a possibility for me to meet someone interesting. I always find it hard to find someone who really peaks my interest.I have been told that I am picky. I say that I am selective, but shouldn't I be?

The King of Queens

Oh love..

I finally figured out what to call the man who takes my breathe away...The King of Queens. He's a total Queens boy (with the NYC accent, that I LOVE).

Yesterday morning the King and I had a long moment of gazing at each other. It rocks my world when he looks at me the way that he does. I am not sure what is going on in his head. He is a cancer and they are soooo hard to read and they do not open up much ( sigh). Later on in the day someone gave me a birthday card and inside was a photo that she had taken of me and the King. I look tiny next to him since he's a tall guy and I am 5'0" ( and loving it!). I crave my men tall..

The lunch date I was suppose with Paul didn't happen. I saw him and he was acting all coy. He called out to me and EXPECTED me to walk over to him. Not! I so don't have time for bs, he missed his chance. I think what may be up is, he may not be single and he is trying to be sneaky..just the feeling I keep getting when I see him.

A nice guy named Luc gave me his number today. I was taken by surprise. He told me that he wanted to tell me something, but he was to nervous..I may call him, I haven't decided. I have never thought of him in a romantic way...though he smelled fabulous today which totally turned me on. Nothing like a man that smells delicious. Not to mention that he speaks French. Meow!

Single in Gotham

Yesterday my friend and I got into a discussion about men in NYC. She thinks men in NYC are unavailable, I totally disagree. Yes, it is a different experience dating in Gotham, but just because a woman has not found the one, I don't think all the blame should be put on men. Of course men have more option in NYC, but so do women.

It take two to tango and serious self exploration to get a grasp on why one keeps attracting the same type of people. The laws of attraction can't denied, you attract what you put out. Period. So, if a woman/men thinks that the opposite sex is not available then they will not be.

I did not call the Latin Jewish guy back. I think to much time passed, now I could care less about him. Still waiting on my lunch date. And as for the guy who takes my breathe away ( I really need to figure out what to call him don't I?)...it is not clear what is happening so I will not comment until I figure it out myself.

Lusciously single, ~Shoshi
