Who am I? Why am I here?

No, I don't mean either of those questions as profound philosphocial statements.

Instead, what I wanted to get across in my first post was kind of the mission statement of just what I hoped this blog would be about.

I think the title pretty much sums it up pretty well--single guy in Music City USA who is looking for a date. I don't intend to use this blog as a way of attracting a potential date, but instead to be a reflection on the ups, downs and everything in between of dating in the new millenium as well as examining my history to see what lessons I can learn from it. Or maybe as a way to discuss some things and finally get them resolved so that if I met the woman of my dreams tomorrow (or even later today for that matter), I'd be in a place without as much emotional baggage.

But while I don't intend to meet someone through the blog, if I did happen to meet someone and we had that right spark, I'd not be opposed to that either.

OK, so a bit more about who I am dating wise. I'm a single, white, straight male. I wouldn't say I have the looks of Brad Pitt or six-pack abs, but I think I do a pretty decent job of not wearing stripes with plaids. I've been in a couple of serious relationship in my time and have learned about myself and what I do want and don't want in a potential girlfriend. I plan to respect the privacy of my dates and potential dates (should I meet any) as well as the privacy of those I've been in relationships with in the past. (what I'm saying is I won't use the real names of people on here to protect the innocent) Also, if you're here looking for the hot, sexual exploits of a single guy, then you'd better go elsewhere. That won't be detailed here. There are plenty of other bloggers who can do that for you, probably much better than I ever could. (Sorry, but writing porn is just not my strong suit).

So, here we go....hopefully it will be interesting, fun and entertaining.
