date 22: diet dating
One thing I've noticed almost across the board about other dating blogs: all the single ladies are pretty committed to getting in shape. Nothing like heartbreak to motivate you to go to the gym, right?
After about three months of dipping my toe in the dating pool, I realized that if new dudes are going to see me naked, I better look damn good.
So when my friend challenged me to go carb-free on the 17 Day Diet, I was totally into it.
Until I realized not drinking for 17 days would seriously dampen my dating routine.
That said, Film Studies asked me out to a movie for our third date.
I was semi-surprised to hear from him because our second date ended so awkwardly.
Regardless, this seemed like a good midweek sober activity.
We met for a drink (mine non-caloric) at a new Hollywood bar and then went to a movie at a theater nearby. It was a good one, and I got an even better good night kiss after he walked me back to my car. Swoon!
As for 17 days, I made it 14 without drinking. Close enough, right? Oh, and I lost 6 lbs. If you haven't heard of it, google it now – it's legit.
