Business Deals

A very helpful friend once told me that people should view dating as a business deal. That, in that vain, people would come together and be very up-front and honest from the beginning. And if each was selling what the other was prepared to buy and the negotiables were minimal then so much the better. A match/deal made in heaven.

However, if one party is selling something that the other party just isn't interested in...then no hard feelings. Nothing personal. Each party can walk away with their egos and self-esteem intact and with very little time/energy/money wasted on what might have wound up being buyers remorse.

That being said...I have decided to strike out into the dating pond again (after a 2 year hiatus). However, this time I come armed with a business plan, budget, and goals. No more good person/bad person inertia. Just like Bob Sugar said in "Jerry Maguire"..."It's not show-friends. It's show business." I am preparing for this round as if I was after a masters degree. Research. Research. Research. I am prepared to use every resource at my disposal. Friends. Family. Online matching engines. Total strangers. You name it...I'm up to the task! Rome wasn't built in a day you know! And finding an adequate gentleman in today's age is just as monumental a task.

So bring it on world! I'm prepared.
