We won’t die.
Yes, 7 Dates in 7 Days is back. Or on it’s way back. We’ve grabbed hold of our newest main dater, Elise. Elise is a hotty-bo-botty, and is set to be the most entertaining dater to date. You’ll see what I mean. More info to come in the next days and weeks. I’ll get a pic up soon.

And Now, A Word From The President:
Hello from behind the black curtain! I’ve never posted on this thing before, nor did I care to, but after reading 3 rounds of this - I am compelled. I just figured that since everyone else involved has posted (Steve, Rich, Susie, the daters, Gowa’s dad, etc), it might be time to share my thoughts too. This started as a challenge. Steve said that it was hard to meet women to date in...
Jim Nasium
This will be the last update for a little while, while Susie contemplates which stud she’ll run with.
Sorry in advance for the fact that there are no spaces between lines. I can’t figure out tumblr. Steph or Steve, if you know how to fix this, have at it.
Blue and Gold, the bar where Steph had sent Jim Nasium and me, was closed. Are they always closed on Sundays? If so, that seems...
Armand Legg Speaks Out! Recount of Date #5.
Hello Dear Reader,
Armand Legg (a.k.a. Ryan Martinez) submitted a comment in response to Susie’s date recount. Being that he took effort of writing for us, I think it’s only right to amplify his recap by posting to the main page, and asking that you, the Reader, not call him a whore in the comments box below. I appreciate it, Armand… err..Ryan.
Also, thanks to Arty Q. for...
Final Date! (or will Susie have seconds...?): Jim...
Read about Jim below. Susie will post date review later on.
Sort of thing you do at work: Research
Most impressive thing you’ve ever done: sake-bombing with the Rapture? No, not that impressive..
Most impressive thing you’ve ever done in front of a large crowd: rocked out with the DJ in front of 2,000 ppl under a stary-night
Most dissapointing gym class moment: Failed-starts

Date # 6: Chris P. Toast, Age 23 (read Susie's...
Sort of thing you do at work: I think you have to have a job to do things at work, so let’s pretend I’m a Space Captain. I typically wake up and yell at my cook for burning breakfast. Then, I float into the cockpit and get updates from the pilot. If we have a dangerous mission, I’ll man the turret myself. Our laser canon is really powerful, so it throws us off course every time I...
Chris P. Toast
Tonight’s date was Chris P. Toast, a slightly shy and charmingly curmudgeonly artist. We started out at the Brooklyn Museum.
Me: Well, they’re pretty.
Him: These paintings make me so angry.
We did notice that all the children seemed eager to escape the museum.
Our moods didn’t seem culturally oriented, so we turned to a culinary tour of the lower East side: Krif Dogs, Pommes Frites, Burp...
Armand Legg
Guys, guys, guys!
Bowling? More fun than a knapsack full of monkeys and whipped cream! Here I should disclose that I’m truly terrible at bowling. Imagine Barbra Streisand trying to rap about gettin’ ho’s. I don’t think I broke 52 the whole time. It’s fine, though, since bowling lends itself well to double entendres, at which Armand Legg is quite skilled: “Do it...
Date # 5: Armand Legg, Age 25, All Caps 'n All
Sort of thing you do at work: PRODUCTION OF EVENTS AND T-SHIRT PRINTING – SO IF ANYONE READING THIS NEEDS AN EVENT OR A T-SHIRT LET ME KNOW (I CAN’T RESIST A FREE PLUG!!)
Most impressive thing you’ve ever done: GRADUATED A TOP 10 COLLEGE, STARTED MY OWN COMPANY, RAN A MARATHON, WON A POKER TOURNAMENT, FLAWLESSLY SUNG THE 13 MINUTE VERSION OF RAPPER’S DELIGHT IN KARAOKE, WROTE A SCREENPLAY...
Lou Smorals
Tonight’s date wasn’t quite a grand-slam, I guess, at least in date-y, teen-movie terms. As villainy is so much more entertaining than civility, I wish I could report that Lou Smorals assaulted a baby hobo in front of me, or confessed that he was Jim Jones’s spiritual advisor, or honked my breasts and then repeatedly sang “Nothing to write home about” in a quavering falsetto. But no, Lou Smorals...
Date # 4: Lou Smorals, Age 26
Sort of thing you do at work: Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I’m working. Most impressive thing you’ve ever done: I once solved the Rubick’s cube in under thirty seconds. Most impressive thing you’ve ever done in front of a large crowd: Completely forgot how to solve a Rubick’s cube. most dissapointing gym class moment: I was captain of the Science...
Mort. R. Board
Sorry sorry sorry for the tardy update – late night last night and then work and crap this morning. But chickadees, my time apart from you was educational.
Things I learned!
1) When I don’t post promptly, you guys think I’m whore-y and assume that I’ve spent the night accepting propositions and prepositions (under, on top of, in, out, etc.). Many thanks for the vote of confidence.
2) Lily...
An Interview with Mort R. Board, age 25, date # 3:
Sort of thing you do at work: Fill out surveys for online dating blogs and play fantasy baseball. I also occasionally do paralegal work while in my office. No, I’m not planning on going to law school.
Most impressive thing you’ve ever done: Won the Blockbuster video game championship for Bayonne, NJ. And momma said i’d never amount to nothin’.
Most impressive thing you’ve ever done in...
Warren Piece
Tonight’s date was with Warren Piece. This is actually his real name and not a pseudonym, I swear to Zeus.
On an extremely relevant note, this is what pops up when I google image search “Warren Piece”:
Warren and I met up at The Dove, right below Washington Square Park. From the bar’s kinda twee website, I had assumed that it would look like the inside of a uterus, but it seemed pretty nifty....
Master P. Nut
Post-date with Master P. Nut. He reminds me of a mighty dolphin – not because he has any physical or social similarities to a dolphin, but because I have arbitrarily decided that his spirit animal is the dolphin. In addition, I firmly believe that, if called upon, he could make a high-pitched dolphin noise.
We met up at Heathers, which is a nondescript but neat place on East 13th. .Two for one...
First Date is in 90 minutes
Hi Everyone Reading,
It’s been a couple of months, so it’s so nice to have a fresh round of dates upcoming. Susie Queue will be 7D’s first bachelorette when her dates kick off tonight at 7:30 with Master p-Nut (not actual name). The first dates with the 7 bachelors will run through the 7th, and she’ll decide who (singular or plural) warrants sloppy seconds from there.

DEFINITIVE INDEX of KINK (DIK)
The dates shall commence on Monday. What will the coming week hold? Only my future self can tell, and if she were to come back from the future to tell me, the universe would probably explode because you’re never supposed to be in the same place and time as your future self.
Though from knowing Steph, I am fairly certain that at least a few of her chosen guys are closet kinksters. I asked...

Round III: Meet Susie Queue
Hello to what Steve and Steph assure me is literally dozens of readers! Ever since I googled my name and found a slutty bride character in a “Chuck” fanfic named after me, I’ve been a little paranoid about having my photo all over the internets. Steph was somewhat insistent that a picture was required, and remained unimpressed by my suggestion that I pose seductively on the hood of a Buick Apollo...

Chosen One, Round Three
I am really excited. Steph sent me a message today telling me that she found “The One.” As of now, I know nothing but this:
A) Steph said that this Girl is “friggin hilarious,” and that I trust Steph.
B) The girl looks to be a cutie-patutie judging by her 1” x 1” Facebook profile picture.
Oh, Steph also assured me that the Girl is literate. That’s...
Thank You, Please Come Again
With <3 from Steve
Hi,
To echo Rich’s sentiment from below, thank you for reading round II. Every time you commented, responded, or suggested, or forwarded us on it made my day and kept us going. Thank you, all those who said, “This is great,” “This can be better,” “Fuck you cocksuckers” or anything that happened to fall inbetween.
In the third...
Bringing it all back home
It’s been a week since I last went on a date.
Normally I wouldn’t say that’s a long time, but normally I go on fewer than seven dates in a week. I almost feel like one of those college athletes who doesn’t know what to do with all his free time in the off-season. Not that I’m not keeping busy, just that nothing keeps you busy like having a date every night....

Two Questions:
Why on earth did you do 7d7d?
My good friend Andrea who practices waterpolo with Steph submitted my name and I thought she was playing until she told me 2 weeks ago that I am really going on this date!
Can you recap the date?
I liked Rich....
Best Recent Emails Sent to 7d7d
so let me get this straight, you convinced a girl to set you up on seven (what appear to be) great dates, meanwhile schmucks like me are paying waay too much money to try to find a date through a website? This is ridiculous. I’ve only read the first two dates so far, but if this works, I want dibs on the next round. I’ll try to blog it better than you too. I gotta get back to reading...
April Fools
Candice B. Forreal is not a whore, and Steve knows first hand.
Please Hold
Hey All,
Sorry for the lack of posts. Steph and I (Steve) are working out what to do on the next round, while Rich is figuring out what to do for his next dates. The girls await.
Meanwhile, I’ve gotten messages that I’ll be posting tomorrow, hopefully, including one from Candice B. Forreal with a promise to kick me in the balls. I miss you too, Candice.

Date #7: Jess Wannasqueeze
I had to wait for the final date. For various reasons, Jess and I couldn’t meet until 10 PM, but that doesn’t mean she got short shrift. We met up at Against the Grain and got to indulge my enjoyment of microbrews. I usually tend to order less common beers at bars when I can, but I’m not totally sure if this is a status thing or if I really like them more. I mean I know like them...
Date #6: Annie Nigma
The Dove Parlour was the location and it’s definitely a romantic first date spot. But it was Sunday night and the place was empty. On the plus side, this allowed us to have our pick of tables and to get drinks easily from the friendly bartender. On the down side, I felt a little like we were on a TV show soundstage.
I had just spent what felt like the whole weekend in Chinatown (including...
Date #5: Bess Inda-West
I did not have an exceptional excuse for being late for my blind date. But I did have a joke prepared as I walked into the cafe (Le Gamin):
Me: I’m so sorry I’m late, I’ll buy you a crepe. (Note: I had agreed to buy food instead of drinks because Bess doesn’t drink.)
The joke went over decently, but it wasn’t a home run, much like the date overall. It was mostly...
Date #4: Fran Tastic
Where are Steve and Steph finding these girls? I have to admit that I wasn’t really sure what to expect going into this. It’s nothing personal, but all things considered, I didn’t necessarily like my odds with seven strangers. However, as I passed the halfway mark last night with Fran Tastic, I was amazed at how lucky I’ve been to meet these girls this week. I’ve...
Date #3: Vera Hotchick
“I’ll do what I can to help y’all. But, the game’s out there, and it’s play or get played. That simple.”
-Omar Little
Now that quote may be true for the drug game in Baltimore, but it’s not always that simple for the dating game in New York. Especially when that game involves seven dates in seven days.
I guess the hardest thing for me is figuring out if...

Awzum Feedback From a Reader
Thanks Dan. Your advice is priceless and I hope to get more like this in Comments and to 7dates7days@gmail.com from other people with insight as good as yours.
Now, to address what’s happening: this is a reality blog. Not ‘Reality’ in the sense of The Bachelor, Real World, or Singled Out. Rather than taking the approach of having some over the top entertaining Alpha...
Date #2: Anita Mann
11:30 PM Inner monologue: Go to sleep! Stop the Google Reader. You’ve got a big squash match tomorrow afternoon. You think your opponent is reading about the change in Snapple branding or a study saying that men and women read differently? And what about your date? You have a really great night of drinks and conversation, say you’re too tired to write about it, then waste your time...
Date #1: Alma Ducksinarow
6:45 PM Inner monologue: Ok, I’ll get there early, set things up with the bartender, get comfortable. (Note: Date was set for 7:15.) 7:07 PM Arrive at Cibar. Walk in, breathe a sigh of relief that I dressed up a little because this is a classy place, and do that awkward, “are you, I think you’re” thing with the girl who happens to be sitting at the first table I see....

So this whole thing is getting started this week. But before it does, we wanted to reach out to our tens of readers and figure out if there was anything that you wanted to tell us about the blog or the dates.
