Playing With Matches

What started as a means of chronicling the online dating experiences of two picky yet adventurous almost thirty somethings has turned into a chronicle of all that is, was and has made up their collective dating histories. Our two original daters are now joined by several other fun, breezy, sassy gals, and Playing With Matches is now a missive on dating misadventures, a cacophony of ups and downs, turmoil and bliss. With a bit of snark mixed in here and there.

Not sure what to think about this...

Remember Jen Schefft? The girl who won the heart of Andrew Firestone on The Bachelor four years ago and who, nine months later, called off the engagement to the gazillionaire tire heir and winemaker? The one who declined the proposal of hottie (yet undeniably vapid) Jerry on her own show (the first season of The Bachelorette)? Yeah, I thought so.

Per my reliable sources at Us Weekly (and verified by quick research jaunts to amazon.com and her publisher's website), Jen has written a book about dating and being single (and okay with it). She's stretched her fifteen minutes of fame a few seconds longer and, next week, Better Single Than Sorry: A No Regrets Guide to Loving Yourself and Never Settling will be published by Harper Collins.

As a [former] self-help afficionado, this book is right up my alley, especially considering recent developments (or the lack thereof) in my own life. If Jen can pass up a millionaire and a hot actor, if she can live through another former flame falling in love with and ultimately proposing to Guiliana DePandi (ew), then I can totally move on and live my own life to the fullest.

To order or not to order? That is the question. Maybe, in the meantime, I'll just dredge up my copy of He's Just Not That Into You. It's been a while, and its lessons obviously are in need of being refreshed.
