I’m taking time off men!

I believe most women have uttered these words at least once. Mostly after a break up or major disappointment with the opposite gender. I know i have. But somehow right after I close my mouth some cute thing passes by and I think to myself : why not give him a chance?

Needless to say, I’m still single and every bad date brings me closer to the conclusion that maybe I’m not suited for relationships after all. That’s  why  the last  time I caught myself  thinking about taking a break from men,  I decided to  make it real. Jazz it up a bit. I work well with restrictions and rules. Most importantly, I love a good challenge. So, I hereby propose…

THE BOY FREE YEAR PROJECT

During the next 365 days, starting today, I’m not allowed to:

Engage in any kind of behavior that might lead to a romantic relationship with a guy. From flirting to sex, and everything in between.

Conversations to males are restricted to neutral themes. Something safe like politics, hockey or religion. =P

Purpose of he project:

Test just how much I can accomplish in a year once my focus won’t shift to a relationship.

Some of what I’d like to get done:

Re learn how to drive standard cars.

Acquire a new language.

Learn how to play the guitar.

Learn a bunch of new recipes and improve my favorite ones.

Have lots of girl time with my wonderful friends!

Maybe finish the first draft to my novel.

Keep this blog updated as the project progresses.

For the record, I’d like to state that I have nothing against the male gender. This project is a fun experiment I decided to conduct.  This is day one. 364 to go.
