Simple enough question. Mine was in February of 2001, so I am approaching four years. Maybe about time to set something up? ---

You mean an actual date, like going to a movie, just you+1? Ehh, maybe this last summer. ---

Iā€™ve stopped looking for love quite some time ago and started looking to enjoy what I have now. Thatā€™s a nice way of saying ā€œA really, really long time,ā€ isnā€™t it? I think itā€™s been something like eight years. ---

Some time late last year. I always have prospects, but canā€™t ever seem to translate them into anything more. ---

Hmmmm, I guess it was about 8 months ago. Seems like a long time considering Iā€™m only 19 and am expected to be dating the fudge out of every girl I meet. My last date was to see the remake of ā€œDawn of the Deadā€ with an acquaintance. It didnā€™t go anywhere and Iā€™m glad to admit it. Sheā€™s still a good friend though. ---

> [@Pride of the Peaches](#): > > The end of August of '03. > > 1996? Augh, now I feel even more hopeless . . . August '03 isnā€™t hopelessā€¦ 1996 - and the intervening 9 or so years should have been easy pickings - university in a male dominated course, and then working on a project where i"m one of about 4 women (and the only one in a technical role) out of about 90 or so menā€¦ Apparently, geek guys are not after a geek girl like me.
