Game Changer

According to The Rules, I am to give written notice if I meet someone I like more than everyone else and can't foresee dating anyone else.  Consider this your written notice.  Effective I don't really know exactly when, The Bear can call himself my boyfriend.  What can I say?  I find cowboy boots irresistable, and we've already discussed that Del Taco chili fries are the way to a woman's heart.

I know what you're thinking, so relax:
1. He knows about the blog.
2. He knows his name is The Bear.
3. I haven't decided whether or not to continue this Fifty First Dates challenge if it doesn't work out with The Bear.  Doing such would totally jinx things and I'm not down.  I like The Bear.  And his hugs.  See dramatization above.
4. To all the single ladies (and gentlemen): I highly recommend you challenge yourself to go on fifty first dates.  If you start today, you could have a Bear two months from now.  If you don't end up with a Bear, or Cougar, or Tiger, or Sloth, or whatever animal you fancy, well then you're still going to come out with some stories, a few free drinks, and maybe even a life lesson or two (like don't try to date family members who live in forests or be cautious of guys who yell at waitresses).
