Feast or Famine?

When dating in NYC one thing is always the same as anywhere else in the world – it’s either feast or famine.  There are weeks that go by without any prospects.  Wishing you could meet a new guy.  But, before you know it, there will be a few days in a row when you need to double book yourself with dates for dinners, drinks, museums, concerts, and sporting events. 

A former roommate of mine had triple booked an evening, and I’m still not sure how this darling girl pulled it off.  She met the first guy out for happy hour, then left to meet her second gentleman suitor for dinner, before heading to her final date of the evening for late night drinks.   This pretty lady is usually being pursued by new men – she is not only stunning, but sweet, outgoing, intelligent, and lovely.  What guy could resist?   But, even this sought after beauty goes through dating dry spells. 

When you get a text from the cutie you met at the bar last Thursday night, inevitably your ex leaves you a voicemail that day, and your handsome coworker seems to be stopping by your desk more often with flirty gestures and plans to get together outside of the office.  All of my girlfriends have found themselves in this predicament – too many potential men all at once, or none in sight for long periods of time.
