What is The One Project?
Well, I read a book about dating and decided to use one of protagonists failed tactics, a questionnaire, I've named the one project. It was originally a bit of a joke, but a week in it's getting pretty serious. I was planning on spending the rest of my life searching for the one! Anyway, the search is to find either, a one night stand or 'the one'. I am pretty sure I don't really want to find either of these things, so I'm going to settle for 'the one right now.' I live with a hopeless romantic, and it is she has been my right hand... woman? It was to her, I described my perfect man and she then wrote my questionnaire. It's my job to go out and find the poor people to inflict myself upon to fill it out, which has actually been quite easy. There are twenty five questions, each question is out of four, so the winner is basically whoever gets closest to one hundred. Simple! Again, I am a week in and I am away for four days, so I'm either going to leave it or it will need to be paused.
Now for a little bit about me..
I'm twenty-two, I live in Plymouth, but originally from Derby, I'm a woman... I think that's the dull facts out of the of the way. My favourite things include, laughter, music, cuddles, and I mean cuddles not hugs - very important to know the difference, I love learning new things and going on adventures. I work in a bar, that I practically live at. I'm really scatty and apparently intimidating. I don't know what I want to do with my life and I'm definitely not ready to 'grow up' so to speak. I have a really carefree attitude to life, because shit happens. I swear a lot. I am told I am 'mental' and 'weird' a lot, but I think morally I'm all there and that's what's important, right?
Why am I doing this?
I'm doing this because, well, I'm early twenties, I will have been single for nearly two years a few months, aside a couple of 'that was never going to work' flings that lasted no time at all in between, that later can only be followed by the question, what was I thinking? My other issue is that I make myself unattainable because I've had my fingers burnt once or twice. No one likes getting hurt. People are fleeting and I'm told 'I'm due a few more dick heads.' Then there is also the mockery of my singleness. That said, I do enjoy being single, but when I realise that the last time I even kissed someone was eight or so months ago I do think maybe if I carry on, I will be alone forever. Dramatic.
I guess I just want to remember what that infatuation feels like, the nerves, the excitement, that weird sickly sweet feeling where you can't get someone off your mind, and you inevitably career head first into it because it's exciting and you behave irrationally and it's amazing, because rationally you know it's probably going to end up a big mess. A fun and beautiful mess.
THE ONE PROJECT
Well here's the questionnaire, most questions appear to be leading, but they're all mini tests really. I won't go into too much detail about that yet, as I haven't collected all of them responses yet. The best thing so far is how eager people are to complete it, it's like a weird competition. It's also interesting to see who is genuinely interested, some people I would never have even spoken too, most of them it's easy to spot. I need to think of the 'next stage', but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it!
