Zack(27/m) and Becky(25/f) live together plutonically in a suburb of a major US city. They have known each other for approximately two months, but have been preparing for this battle their entire lives. They are both reasonably attractive and know how to score dates. This blog will recount their adventures.Zackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06122633255416087712noreply@blogger.comBlogger191100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877955521674454848.post-9492752426839742502009-07-03T09:09:00.000-07:002009-07-03T09:49:04.985-07:00

So I guess after having a girl I needed a MAN. LOL. I met K up at the market place for a few drinks and then we walked over to a gourmet pizza place we both liked. We shared a pizza and bottle of wine whiled listening to a live band playing in the court yard. This is the 2nd time we have done this and both enjoy it.K asked to take me to this dive/wanna be strip club bar. I said yes of course :)

V (F/26) is the first female I went on a date with. I met her at a bar about a month ago and been planning to meet up.She came over to my place last night. I ordered pizza and we had some beers. We talked by the pool for awhile but it became too warm and muggy out so we decided to go swimming. I lit the new Tiki torches I just got and they were awesome to have next to the pool. (Helped to set the

M (m/27) asked me to meet up with him and a friend for drinks. After drinks we went back to M's condo to go swimming. Too many guys from the condos were getting in the pool so M's friend invited us to his house that also had a pool and theater room. They wanted me to invite a female friend of mine to join but she wasn't able to come.We got to the friends house and went swimming. The friend that

I met C (M/30 ish) at a party when I was on date 1 with Dr. We decided to go out last Saturday and go out to dinner.He called me after working 10-12 shift. He apologized for being tired but insisted we still meet up for a date.Right before the date my roommates asked if i wanted to go see a movie. Which, i had been wanting to see. the theater was in the same shopping center as my date. i told my

Becky is behind on her blogging, but I will keep her tally on track. Last night she had her first date with a girl so hopefully at least that one gets some coverage. If not, I'll just write about what i saw from my home office while watching watching season 4 lost episodes.

Kind of a cheat, but S(23f) and I dated for like a month 6 months ago. She is cute and spunky, but no long term potential. She is fine around me, but is constantly talking about all of the drama in her life. She tends to exagerate the significance of events and comments and overvalues advice from her friends. All this and she proclaims to not be into drama.We sat in the same bookstore as two

Short and sweet. S (27f) and I chatted several times online throughout the week. On Monday I was able to convice her that it was a good idea to invite me over to her place for some beers and cards. We watched one of my favorite movies until the credits and then took things to her bedroom. I swear all of this was harder back when I was 22. Are older women easier, or did I just get better at

I asked K out for Sunday afternoon around 4pm, knowing that my date with M4 would be over about 2pm and I would need to grab a bite to eat. I showed up to her place and found out that her neighbor that was supposed to babysit just bought a new 'pre-owned' car and the tire blew from the dealership. This gave me an hour of down time to hang out with her in her husband's (separated) house with her

M (32f) is a project manager for the web design division of a well known hosting company. She was super cool. Definitely the most comfortable conversation blogged about thus far. For the first hour we sat and talked about all the little things and bonded over several common dispositions including how personal a tattoo is and being a nerd is kick ass.If you ever want to give the illusion that

I had a nice time on round one with D and so we decided to hang out again. I took "The Fountain" over to her place about two and we watched it over some chips, salsa, and a VERY strong margarita. Let me take this time to say that the best way to get someone drunk is to give them a very weak mixed drink and then follow up with something stronger. If you just give them something strong to start

J (M. 34) and I dated for about a month or so two yrs ago.He is in town and we made plans to hang out. June 26 we drove up to slider rock. My 1st time and it was awesome!We both had a good time and started to drive back home when he asked that we have a few drinks and watch the sunset. We pulled off the freeway and walked a little ways into the Sedona dessert and sat on a blanket. After a drink

Was waiting on a friend that was coming into town and he was taking too long. M ( M. says he's 24 but I wouldn't be surprised if he's older) called me up and wanted to hang out. We went out a few times but he is pretty cocky and checks out every single female when we're together. Which, is fine if we are just to be friends. There's just something I'm not sure about, he seems to be playing games I

Went out with K (M 32) on June 21. Not the 1st date. But he is my favorite so far :) We went on a motorcycle ride. Which I love! And we went to a concert and target shooting.We have a lot in common and both don't want anything serious even though I get the feeling he wants a little more. With K its more about companionship and doing the things we both enjoy together and not so much about sex.

Well sat june 20th the 1st day of date wars I went to a party with Dr (mid 40's) I've gone out a few times with Dr so that wasn't awkard. But the party was for co-workers and students of his. At the begining it was SO boring. Everyone was trying to act all professional and yammer on about work/school/studies. But then people started to get some drinks in their systems and weren't so uptight.Then

On the first day of this contest I had two dates scheduled that canceled on me. One was with D (4of) that moved to Sunday and was my first official point. The second was C (28f) that canceled at the last minute because she was too drunk. Fine. So we rescheduled for drinks in a bar of her choice on Friday at 11pm, right after my date with K (37f). My plan was to text her at 9:00 to let her

I started talking to K (37f) this week on the dating site. She is fairly attractive and has a certain southern charm. We met tonight for a drink and some conversation. I will say that dating someone a decade older than you can really shed some light on how women think. For example there is a hell of a lot less bullshit and drama to deal with. I'm starting to think that women dont love drama,

Night time is the right time for chatting with girls online. I work early and like my sleep so I can't stay online later than like 9pm. This gives me a few hours after they get home from work to chat them up and get a number for texting. Texting is the new calling btw. I will NEVER call a girl before texting her first. Rewriting texts and being able to talk to multiple girls at once is

Most of friday Jun 19th was spent on my favorite dating site sending messages and chatting with girls in the area. I am not about to let Becky talk all this trash about picking up guys. I feel like I need to represent my sex here and show her how easy it can be to get a first date.While two girls cancelled on me on saturday, one of them rescheduled for Sunday that night. The other got moved to

1. Start Date Jun 20th 2009;2. Dec 31st, 2009. The contest ends immediately if one person quits. Most likely this will be when either Zack or Becky meets someone of significance or when one person is losing so badly they have no hope of recovery.3. What constitutes a point? 3.1 An inperson meeting with romantic intentions (of any time length) with a 'target' scores one point. 3.2 Only one
