Update

OK I thought of two more, so here's the updated stats. I talked about this with some friends, and Dave had the best insight... He said that I needed to eliminate work from my life because the number of hours worked divided by dates I got is way too high. In that case, I should live my life like the movie "Wedding Crashers." The wedding hours per date is at least one order of magnitude higher.
  • Total number - 23
  • Who ended it - Me: 5. Ambiguous: 3 Her: 15
  • Who's fault it was that it ended - Her: 23 (just kidding)
  • People with these number of dates - 0: 7 (6 rejections, 1 out of town) 1: 5 2: 5 3: 1 4: 1 5+: 4
  • How we met- Friend of a friend: 7, Wedding: 5, 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: 2
  • 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: 20. 3/23 is ~15%, which is higher than the US population of Asians of 4%, Wisconsin's population of 2%, and Ohio's population of 1%

well, sounds like a new career move. even the wedding crashers had real jobs though... gotta pay for those dates somehow!

interesting on the name similarities/overlaps.......

So what time period is this for?

23 people in one year is a lot!! :)

That's all in one year? I thought it was ever! Or maybe just college and on?

Want to get set up with Alvin's sister? She's 31 and a nurse. I know almost nothing about her, but if she's related to him, she must be great. :) But she lives in Seattle - perhaps Karen's career move idea relocates you there.

I think, in my analysis, I'd have to include how long the "relationship" lasted. For me, that can be catagorized into: no second date, 2 weeks, 2 months, and then the current one (15 months +).

That does make me curious about how my analysis would look...maybe after tomorrow when I submit my thesis I'll look into it.

No, this is 23 since high school.
