Throw our names in a hat, pick a name and set them up on a blind date in the name of St. Valentine! Why I agreed to this, I'll never know.
Four friends and I have agreed to be set up as part of my friend Nkem's "Valentine's Day Experiment," just for fun. Nkem came to us with this Aphrodite-esque proposal and most were reluctant at first, but we succumbed to her plans.

Meet the Players!
Claudette - The Positive One
Karenda - The One on the Fence
Nkem - The Mastermind
Miss Emme - The Observant One
Alexis was the hardest to convince and Claudette's participation was dependent on Alexis'. Once they were in, the game was on! My hope for this experiment is for everyone to open up a bit and more importantly have fun. We're all young, educated, driven Black women, why shouldn't we live a little?
The group has created stipulations that I'll think we'll keep to ourselves and we're quite open-minded, so long as the men are eligible bachelors. We picked the names out of the hat and followed up with "consultations." We know the blind dates are just for fun, but we still want them to be good! I'm to procure a date for Claudette, Claudette's to find a date for Nkem while Nkem's working on a young man for Karenda and finally Karenda's going to set me up. We've been brainstorming together to find the perfect date for Alexis!
The dates have been chosen and set up for different days this week. So, stay tuned for a follow-up on the V-Day Experiment.
bisou, bisou
Miss Emme
