I wanted to start a series of entries that followed a character around on his quest for something… love, money, easy chicks, a bff etc… I first thought I would follow around a promiscuous guy so I can write hilarious stories about all the women he plows through to show how dumb some girls really are when it comes to guys, but then I thought I rather do something a little less aggressive.  How about one shy guys quest for simply meeting a “nice, fun, normal” girl. Sounds simple, but does that even exist? We all know living in San Diego that is near impossible meeting someone you actually want to call back, let alone date! But hey with some help, were gonna try! Adam is 28 and hasn’t kissed a girl since last November…

Click to Meet Adam

Adam is a super shy guy who would like to meet a fun girl to spend time with. He hasn’t really been taking any chances talking to any girls because well… A. most girls at the dirty pb bars he hangs out at are just that, dirty and engaged anyway. and B. he rather drink with his friends. However he complains about not kissing a girl in 56 years so, I have had enough let the intervention begin.

To get a better idea of Adam, and what he was looking for, I asked him a few questions…

1. Do you want to meet a girl?

yes, but not enough to let it interfere with my drinking and acting like a jackass with my friends.  i wouldn’t say i have ever intentionally gone to a bar to “scope for chicks”

PROBLEM: You are too busy getting wasted with your friends. No girl will ever want to talk to the guy stumbling across the bar, woooohooo’ing with his bros. Have fun, have a few drinks but unless its a special occasion, you are too old to be blacking out in a PB bar.

2. Describe the girl you’d like to meet? Qualities you look for?

someone who is educated, or currently in college on their way to a career. self-supportive, and can stand to be apart from each other.  i can’t STAND those 24/7 couples.  someone who is active, likes to try new things.  things can include going to new restaurants, outdoor activities like hiking, weekend getaways, snowboarding.  just spontaneous enough to be able to handle things as they come.  ooh and a girl who deserves to be treated like a princess, but doesn’t act like she is constantly expecting or waiting for it… know what i mean?  and i’m not rich, i’ll spoil her as much as i can but there is no fun in being broke or in debt for a girl… i found that out the hard way.

OK: Reasonable requests. I am glad its just not some hot chick with big boobs. You’re looking for a partner in crime, I get it. But what girl with the above resume, would want to date some belligerent clown acting like that?! You gotta become what you want to attract

3. Do you talk to girls when you go out? Where are you looking?

not usually, or not in the sense of trying to get them to come back home with me.  usually it’s bar conversation like “hey, get outta my way i’m trying to get to the bar”.  or “move, you’re blocking my view of that hot girl”. but i have been asking lately if my friends have any single friends, or if i meet someone new i test the waters to see if they’re interested.  i’ve had a bad string of luck lately, meeting awesome girls who are in a relationship or already married/engaged.

JOIN THE CLUB: Half the guys who text me are married and the only way I find out is by googling them. Pictures of their wives pop up, I’m like…oh married to Tamara with 2 babies Michael and Pheobe, cool, please stop texting me.

4. When is the last time you had a gf?

my last official relationship ended last june after being with her for a year and a half.

5. What do you wear when you go out?

well i’m usually out in PB so jeans, flops and a t-shirt.  if i know we’ll be at a semi-decent place, then i’ll put on a dress shirt with sleeves and a collar.

PROBLEM: He only goes out in PB. Then to top it off he gets shit faced, and ignores the girls he wants to talk to!

6.Do you think you are confident or shy?

i think i am plenty confident, until it comes to talking to girls that i like. normally i am talkative, bouncing around the bar from people to people just doing my thing.  i am not what i would consider a wallflower.  then i see a girl, i’ll probably continue acting the same way but she will be the ONLY person in the bar i don’t interact with.  it is a combination of shy, and in larger part, being worried of rejection.

PROBLEM: Pu-double-Sy…. The one girl you like has no idea you even care, all she sees is some idiot pounding shots. Stop with the too cool thing, next time you see someone you talk to we will have you more prepared ha ha.

7. If you could improve on one thing what would it be?

mentally it would be my fear of talking to girls.  physically, obviously- lose weight duh!  i’m not FAAAAAAT, but i’m not what i weighed in college either.  but i am working on that.  eating better and starting to work out again, but it’s only been a few weeks so far.

GOOD. You work on the tire around your waist and I will try and help with the rest. Being in shape really helps 100% though so you keep it up!!! hasdjkasd

As you can see this is a pretty standard problem among people under 30. Everyone wants to meet someone cool to hangout with but its easier not to bother. But what happens when you do that? You end up 50 and single and wonder where the hell your life went! No one likes rejection but once it happens once or twice you’ll get over it. We’re going to plan a few different approaches for Adam to try out just to see what responses he gets from girls. We will try the buy you a drink method, the compliment method, the player treat her like crap method, and see where it takes him. Stay tune for updates on Adam’s Quest for Like. Not love, just like
