- Total number - 21 (I think Jim gets this in a month, before he met Karen of course)
- Who ended it - Me: 5. Ambiguous: 3 Her: 13
- Who's fault it was that it ended - Her: 21 (just kidding)
- People with these number of dates - 0: 6 (5 rejections, 1 out of town) 1: 4 2: 5 3: 1 4: 1 5+: 4
- How we met- Friend of a friend: 6, Wedding: 4, Orchestra: 3, Work, Softball, Class (one of the classes was ballroom dance): 2 each, Online: 1, Science Fair (it was a teacher, not a student): 1
- Number taller than me: 1
- People with the same name: 2 each of Emilys, Amys, Erins, and Jennys
- Asians: 3 (out of the 3, I've gotten 1 date out of them) Non-Asians: 18. If you think about it, 3/21 is ~15%, which is higher than the US population of Asians of 4%, Wisconsin's population of 2%, and Ohio's population of 1%

Some dating statistics
So I was reading an article on dating, and it talked about the salesman approach. I.E. how many rejections do you hafta get before you land a client. It surmised that you should definitely be able to find someone before #100. So I thought, what number am I at? So I racked my brain and listed out all the women I've asked out that I can think of (blind dates not included, women that asked me out that I actually wanted to go out with are included). Here are some fast facts:

I have a teacher in college who's dating philosophy was to ask out as many people as you can, even if not totally interested at the time. The guy who asks out 4 chics and gets 4 dates got the girl 100% of the time. The guy who asks out 100 girls and gets 8 dates may only get it 8% of the time, but hey, he got 8 dates - 2x more than the guy at 100%.
Interesting analysis...perhaps I should look into my numbers sometime.
Good point about the 8% thing... the best part of dating is you only need go 1 for 100. In baseball you hafta to 30 for 100 to be successful.
About your teacher, I could see asking out as many people as you can, but I would say I only would ask out people I actually liked.
