Adventures in Post-Grad Dating

It's Valentine's Day today so I figured I should probably blog about romance.  And then I remembered that I don't really know anything about romance because I've been single for the last three Valentine's Days, and the other 1,092 days in between as well.  But although relationships are a mystifying puzzle that I remain woefully ignorant of, there is indeed one thing that I have become a grand ultimate master of in my three years of singlehood.  That thing is the art of serial dating.

For some reason that term looks menacing, maybe because you probably associate it with serial murdering, so I'll elaborate.  After graduating college and ending my last relationship, I realized that 1) I had no idea how I was going to meet guys outside the bubble of the university experience, and 2) I had never actually participated in casual dating before in my life.  In college, I engaged pretty consistently in long-term relationships, and so became overcome with a burning desire to explore what else was out there.
