Hook a Sista Up!

Ok, so I'll bite and take the Challenge. Especially since Dentyne has informed me that the average person spends 20,000 minutes kissing, and I can't even recall the last time I was passionately kissed [insert sad face]

Dear YOU:

I'm accepting ESSENCE Magazine's Summer Dating Challenge to ask people I trust -- my relatives, my colleagues, and my friends -- to arrange a blind date for me with a an eligible bachelor of their choice. ESSENCE Relationships Editor Demetria L. Lucas took a risk and had great results and a lot fun (read all about it in the July issue of ESSENCE). I have faith that I can have the same experience with a little help from YOU!

I am open to meeting great men and I have faith you know me well enough to make the best selection for me. But please keep these 3 requirements (yes, they limited me to 3) in mind as you make your selections:

* Has integrity (also reliable, accountable, and does what he says he will do!)
* Has a great sense of humor (can appreciate irony & sarcasm)
* Does not smoke (legal or illegal substances)

I'm letting go of my fears and giving you permission to pass my name, email, and picture (attached) to any man whose company you think I would enjoy.


If you have any questions (I'm sure you will), let me know. And in the meantime, Hook a Sister up! LOL.

Best,
sj

PS- And he better be cute!
