Really, that’s all there is to it. I tried some stuff, like speed dating and hooking up with coworkers, but I just didn’t find the right person.
What do you do when you can’t find what you need? You use the Internet! Now I post on dating 
websites and go on dates with strangers I get emails from.
Occasionally these strangers are crazy, every now and then they are stalkers, and once in a while they are fun people. I don’t write about normal dates - your friends don’t care to hear about that. Friends want to live vicariously through you; they want to watch you go on these insane dates in the scariest parts of the city. They want to hear about dates involving freakouts, outrageous dinner bills, and live electricity. It also helps to laugh with your friends as you tell them stories, or otherwise the whole affair can just be awkward.
