My First 32 Coffee Dates: One Man's Year Long Journey Through Internet Dating M. Lyman Hill

Imagine looking over tens of thousands of personal ads in order to exchange thousands of emails, to get to hundreds of phone calls, to then set 32 coffee dates. Because I work professionally in the Internet technology industry, using online dating and matching services came very easily to me ? or, at least it was natural, but it was also exhausting. I am the kind of man who is driven. You know ? Mr. Type A+. So, when my marriage failed, I moved into an apartment I found myself looking for love again online. I?m just not one to waste time. " "Imagine meeting 32 very different women for coffee in less than nine months, then dating a few of them: nurses, psychologists, attorneys, school teachers, a couple of legal secretaries, a surf shop owner, a veterinarian, a flight attendant, a model, several real estate agents, and on and on. Some were nice and some were very nice, but off in a world of their own. Imagine that, and you?ll be right there with me because that is what I went through in just one year?s time."
