preliminary pleasantries

The thought finally occurred to me during a moment of mild inebriation. I have been single for almost 4 months now, and I have had no intentions of seriously pursuing anyone of the opposite sex (or of the same sex for that matter).

Until now… and just to clarify, I am pursuing members of the opposite sex. I spent most of my high school years and my peak pre-pubescent era pining away at the thought of having a significant other, and trying to figure out how to aspire to that goal. I haven’t had to really worry about that more or less for the past 4 years. However, now I find myself in a dilemma seeing as I am severely out of touch with my peers who have mastered the various acts of flirtation that typically lead to casual sex-crazed encounters.

So here I venture into the great unknown, and I will attempt to document to the best of my ability the great failures that undoubtedly lie ahead. I originally envisioned that I would just chronicle my failures of attempting to court and woo females in this blog, but I feel that this will will probably extend into me channeling my pent up frustrations from my previous relationship as well. Taking inspiration from the landmark album, I have decided to title my blog Exile in Girlville, as it seems fitting enough. Hopefully with some liquid courage, I may be able to conquer the obstacle that lies ahead. Cheers.
