DATE 1...well kinda

OK, so the blind date challenge is in full effect right now. My girl Mimi is really trying to work it out for me. She has been on her game trying to hunt down the perfect blind date for yours truly. But her first attempt was a bit unsuccesssful.
Last week Mimi tells me she has the perefect guy for me to meet. His name is Mike and he's an exec at a record label...sounds good so far. So Mimi and everyone's favorite assistant (soon to be mogul) Dominique were going to meet him for lunch and i should tag along and kind of scope him out.
The first thing I notice is the fact that he's wearing sunglasses in an empty dark restaurant (strike 1), but its LA...everyone wears sunglasses whether necessary or not.
The next thing I notice are his above-the-knee linen shorts and gucci loffers (strike 2) WTF?!...ok, maybe I'm being too judgemental...OMG, is that a boil growing out of his forehead or a pimple?!?!?!? Of course I notice all of this before he even opens his mouth to speak.
The lunch date/meeting/interview/scopping carries on and this dude is really cool. He's from around the way yet he's business savvy, he's funny but knows how to be serious when necessary....I'm thinking "go Mimi!"....then it happens....we start talking about being successsful and we start to give Dominique advice on her future moves (she's 21), etc, etc...then he says "that's what I tell my kids" HOLD ON! KIDS? Mimi says, "oh, you have children? how many?" "three" THREE?!!!! OH HELL NO!! "Mimi says in her extra polite yet nervous voice "aaww, thats nice. how old are they?" "20, 15, and 17 months" OH HELL NO!!! 20?!!?!? THIS MAN HAS BEEN F#*KIING FOR OVER 20 YEARS! I CAN'T DO NOTHING WITH THAT!

NEEEEXXXXXT!!

Nice try Mimi. But Mike is out!!!

THE CHALLENGE

Ok heffas, times are hard so I'm going to start a blind date challenge. mmm hmm, that's right! A blind date challenge! As some of us know, good brothas are hard to come by. Personally, I have a hard time in the dating circle lately. (Don't even ask!) I am very picky...but I LOVE to go out. So here's the deal, I am challenging each of you to send me out on a blind date with your guy of choice. I feel that you all know me well enough (or have spent enough time with me at work) to know what kind of guy I would get down with. And some of you have either tried to hook me up in the past or claim that you have some fabulous man waiting for me in the wings. I will report back to all of you after each date with a blog and such. HOWEVER, I will not go on a date with anyone w/o a picture first!

What am I looking for you ask:

1. He must know God...no Atheists please
2. He must have a career, not a job
3. He cannot live with his mother, auntie, baby's mother, grandma...you get the point
4. Please let him be attractive
5. He must have a car that can pass the California Smog Test

Those are the basics. So let me know what you all think of this idea and if you're willing to participate. And if it works well for me, maybe some of you other single ladies will give this a try.

SMOOCHES!
