With A Little Help From Our Friends - Part 1: Safer, Less Awkward, More Fun…Um Yes Please
Today marks the first in an exciting new blog series at Ignighter. A few friends of the Ignighter Guys finally decided to start using the site and they’ve graciously offered to document their experiences on this very blog. If you’ve been hesistant to sign up or you’ve had trouble convincing your friends to join your group, hopefully this very real chronicle from some very real ladies will help clarify what an Ignighter experience is like and help you make the decision to join (or not join). So without further ado, I turn it over to the ladies and their introductory post:
You’ve probably seen us walking through Union Square and thought to yourself, “what could possibly be so funny?” The truth is nothing and everything is funny to two girls who met in the 6th grade when Leonardo DiCaprio was the hotness (still is) and we knew every single line from Empire Records (still do). We’ve been inseparable since then, except when we were separated after 8th grade when one of us moved away. Sadness.
After spending high school and college in different cities, we finally reunited on the streets of NYC (but never above 14th street). Over our years apart, we collected an intricate web of characters who thankfully all ended up on this most fabulous island. The post-college pre-life void (henceforth referred to as The Void) provided many opportunities for all of us to hook up, break up, make up, and six-degrees-of-separation our way through our immediate pool of friends. We love them, this random mix from middle school, high school, college, camp, and work so much that we rarely meet anyone new… and we never thought we’d need to.
Alas, the whole turning 25 thing sort of freaked us out. What happens post-Void? A lot of our friends are settling down, while some are still partying like it’s freshman year. We don’t quite know where to place ourselves. We’re single, but online dating really isn’t cool enough for us (Sorry if we offend. Actually, we tried Match.com for a month, but we weren’t in NYC so it really doesn’t count!). So we’re ready to mix it up. New York has so much untapped potential, but how do we… um, you know… tap that? Haha. Our friends started this online site that seems not as cheesy as anything else we’ve ever heard of. It sort of replicates what happens on those great random NYC nights when you and your girls go out and meet a really fun group of guys to entertain you for a while. So we’re going to try it and be your guide through this brave new world of group dating. We’re going to bring this up with some of our girlfriends to see who is down to do this with us and we’ll let you know how it goes. So here’s hoping there’s a group of guys out there who want to hang out with girls who love laughing, movies from the late 90s, and laying out our adventures for all to read on the Internet.
