Dating challenge

Since it's the beginning of the year and a time to make resolutions I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a dating challenge game for the Peeps? My idea is a FUN, simple competition among friends for bragging rights perhaps (maybe a winner every month)... But the SERIOUS goal is getting each of us to try new things and step outside our own personal comfort zones in 2013!!!!!!
I was thinking about something along the lines of earning points for doing things you wouldn't normally do in the way of dating (i.e. flirting with someone who isn't your type, joining a social group, asking a friend to fix you up, the list can go on and on...). Any and all input to flesh out the idea is appreciated!
Thoughts, suggestions??? Anyone interested? :drinker:

i went to a singles church dance monday night.....
that was WAY outside my comfort zone, LOL!!!!
apparently an hour east of me there is a HUGE and i mean HUGE singles crowd. they have events all the time. some dating expert is going to talking to them on saturday. i've been told i need to come to their services on sunday. i might check it out. they start church at 3p, vs. the 9am slot i have at my family ward starting this upcoming sunday, LOL!!!! so, who knows.....
i did get to talk men that actually walked up to me though. it was kinda cool, but definitely outside my comfort zone.0 -

Run - Feel free to make suggestions for rules. Like I said, it's an idea in progress!
4- Great job getting outside that comfort zone!0 -
Sounds like a great idea! Just as Run, I'm involved but I'm sure it will help me too, or give me new ideas.0

I'll put my thinking cap on....
Absolutely agree with af, it could give us some ideas in the meantime.

I'm sorry, but I don't get this game. How many points for a one night stand again?0

Whilst I am very pro women asking guys out, I've never asked a stranger! I've asked someone that I know likes me, but that's kinda cheating, right? lol
So, that would take me out of my comfort zone, and I'd be wanting 100 points for that one !! :laugh:
Flirting with someone you dont fancy - yeah, good practice - but only 10 points??
Flirting with someone you fancy - 50?
Going to a bar on your own and flirting with someone - 500? :noway:0 -

I love that book. When it first came out I sat at Target and read the majority of it!0 -
This could be interesting just don't make me go to church and we will be good. I'm pretty sure I might catch fire lol j/k0
-
yeah, i know. trust me i know. but, i at least took a risk, right?
i think it was kind of like a last ditch effort........ i'm wrapping all of this dating stuff up. so, one last 'hail mary' before i officially quit.
i went to a dance, talked to guys that approached me, and gave two of them my number. i figure if you're going down, go down in a blaze of glory, right????so, i BRIEFLY met two guys face to face over the holiday. i ended giving them both my number and they both shot me down. i am trying to put myself out there.......

I've only been to church maybe five times in my life and it was always because friends dragged me there...it's just not my thing. No offense to anyone.
And that awkward moment where I took communion because my aunt pushed me up there...only realized a couple of years ago that that was probably really bad.0 -
