An update to make up for my lack of updates.

So I have been MIA over the last few weeks. Here’s what’s been going on:

• - Work is good! Busy, but good. Things have been a little challenging with some projects I have been working on. My boss left about 3 weeks ago. But, I feel like I have learned and have grown so much in just the few months I have been at my new agency. 
• - I am still going strong with the gym. It’s been about a month since I joined and I have been going 3-5 times a week. Maybe I am just on a gym high or something, but it’s sort of addicting. And it helps that there is a super cute guy there every day during the week between the 6:15 and 6:45pm timeframe that I consider my motivation. Oh, did that make me sound like a stalker? Well, I don’t even know his name and have never talked to him, but I like to consider him my gym boyfriend. Ha. Now I just sound like a crazy, desperate woman.
• - I’ve also been doing well with my diet. Weekends are tough, but I’m sticking to it as best I can.
• - Remember my online dating fiascoes last summer? Well, I ran into two guys I went out with (only once) that I met online at the same bar, two weeks in a row. I didn’t talk to them, but one had a serious beer belly, which he didn’t have last summer, and I think the other was with his boyfriend. Those were some real winners.
• - It’s hot. So hot, I haven’t been to the pool in a few weeks. So hot, I dread getting out of my car if I have to leave during the day for a meeting or run errands on the weekend because all it takes is walking from the car to the entrance of the store to start sweating. Or maybe less than that.

And that’s it. Life as usual.

I was waiting for this to happen.

I was matched on the online dating site I am using with someone I have meet in real life before. Someone I met and actually hung out with at a friend of a friend’s birthday party last year and have never seen again.

He even viewed my profile. I wonder if he was as weirded out when he saw my picture as I was when I saw his.

My life feels kind of like a cheesy chick flick right now.

Going on three dates with someone and realizing you aren’t that into them is perfectly acceptable. I am not exactly sure what to do now…

And that is all I have to say about that.

So, I don’t think I am a fan of dating.

I have come to a point in my life, where I have no problem being brutally honest with people. I can put myself out there. I don’t have anything to lose. Being blunt and honest upfront avoids being awkward later.

Or so I thought…

Dating overall is just awkward. I don’t think I am a fan of it. And that is all I have to say about that.

Forbes’ rankings are meant to be a guide for young, ambitious singles who, in an age of techno-mobility, can live and work wherever they want. The methodology focuses on career-minded “never-marrieds” under 35.

For the first time ever, “Hotlanta” tops the list.

Here are the top five:

• Atlanta
• San Francisco
• Dallas (tie) - Woohoo!
• Minneapolis (tie)
• Washington, D.C.
