The New Skin

100 Girls, 100 Days — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 19:43:10 +0000

As you may have noticed, the page has a had a radical overhaul in the last few days. Gone is the theme of old, the header image my old roommate worked over, and a lot of unnecessary things. If you are anything like me, you might freak out over the majorist of minor cosmetic changes. I kid you not, I went on a extremely long rant about the Tropicana change from above. Unlike Tropicana, I will not waver and resort to the old, because in are a few new things, chief of which is lovely drop down menus. You now have every one of the 100 days at your finger tips, and a quick, easy way to get to any article on this page that I have done. The second addition is updated/edited (mostly typo free) versions of every single one of the 100 Days. So, I invite you to reread them, sit back, and enjoy the new site and new content headed your way.

3 Months BP: The Last Four Letters

100 Girls, 100 Days — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 20:34:30 +0000

With Michelle, I told her I loved her, and I meant it. I told Kate I loved her on the second date, and I meant it. With the last ex I told her I loved her, but I didn’t mean it.

Funny enough, I thought I heard her say those three words on our third date. Of course this was when sexual activities were going on, and I might have imagined it. But I thought I heard it, and it was enough to cause me to snap out of the mood. I almost ended things then and there in a moment of panic, but I pressed on.

I don’t really remember the specfics of the first real time we exchanged L words. I will say this: for the first time in my life, I wasn’t the first one to say it. I heard it, and I shot it back. A kneejerk reaction and an out of body experience. And the ex was great. She was pretty, smart, hilarioius, and knew the way to Mordor. I had no reason not to love this girl, but I didn’t.

With Michelle, I told her I loved her, and I meant it. I told Kate I loved her on the second date, and I meant it. With the last ex I told her I loved her, but I didn’t mean it.

5 Years BP: The Second Four Letters

100 Girls, 100 Days — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 18:55:47 +0000

The second time I told a girl that I loved her, I meant it in all kinds of the detrimental ways.

After a week of binging on talking until two and missing each other after our first date, I purged her from my life for another week. This was because it scared the hell out of me how much I liked this girl, and how from that first interchange of saliva, and awkward hello, I knew it was over. I even said so after our first kiss. After an hour of hand holding and walking around a snowy Midtown, we decided to go to the movies. We stopped in the corner of the lobby and that first kiss just kind of happened. All I said was a simple three words.

I’m in trouble.

But I tried my best for a week to really try and not let her ruin me. I couldn’t fight it and after two weeks we had our second officially official date, and she spent the weekend visiting me at school.

We were cuddling on my couch watching Seinfeld and we shared a look. We both just knew what the other was thinking. We couldn’t contain it from our voices, let alone our faces. Because in that first month together there was their weird psychic bond between us. In three years, that bond would be of an unspoken despising of one another, but in that moment we knew that we loved one another.

I’m not gonna say it.

This was all I had to say to her to confide in her what I wanted to say but wouldn’t. And I didn’t. Because you don’t fall in love with a girl on the second date, after of barely a month together, and you certainly don’t tell her about it. I held my ground for a solid forty minutes.

Screw it. I love you.

I love you too.

10 Years BP: The First Four Letters

100 Girls, 100 Days — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 17:55:05 +0000

When I first said the word love to Michelle, I meant it in a friendly way. It was in a phone conversation and it just slipped out. She said it back. And then over the course of weeks we stopped meaning it in a friendly way. We meant it in the way where it transitioned into that kind of love you thought Romeo & Juliet had. Of course, I mean that instant intense infatuation that only teenagers stumbling with feelings could possibly mean it. That one day we just stopped being friends. I don’t know how it happened but our friendship died, and I was magically in love with her.

The first time I said it in the deeper way, the words just bubbled out and I couldn’t stop them. And my God, did I mean those words. I was eighteen and was convinced she was the soul mate, and the storybook princess. She reciprocated and we kissed, and it just knocked me flat on my ass. And then we just held on to one another never wanting to let go.

What kind of Emails I’ve gotten

100 Girls, 100 Days — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 18:35:32 +0000

So I put an ad up on craigslist more than a few times for guest bloggers/daters/shameless blog promotion here are the results

Hello!

I saw your post on craigslist and checked out your website. That’s a great idea! I did something similar recently. I did online dating and started posting my stories on my blog. If you want to check them out search “the craigslist chronicles” on my blog.

Anyways, I did find a winner in the end and I’m not sure what you’re looking for. But if it’s not an in depth date I’d be happy to meet for coffee, get to know each other and do a mutual blog shout out after Maybe throw some tweets in there and stay in touch.

Let me know if you’re interested.

Hello Travis,

I am intrigued by this project, as I recently decided to undergo a similar activity. Mine has involved using standard dating (sites such as match.com) in order to meet guys outside of the normal drunk, screaming in a bar encounters. So far, so weird. Have met a few genuine gents as well as some of Manhattan’s finest slimeballs. Planning on compiling my date re-caps once all is said and done. Checked out your site, it seems like a collaboration could be quite interesting. I’ll attach one article just so you can check out what I’ve been up to. Or you can visit (her website) to see more.

Good luck sir!

I see you are looking for a 20-something female blogger now… I don’t have what’s required. I’m 30. But I gotta confess I’d die to go on a date with you. Your idea of blogging this is amazing. Is this turning into a book? I bet it is. I’m jealous I haven’t thought about something like this before you did. I’m a Brazilian journalist who crazily dropped everything in Brazil a few months ago to have some New York life experience. I have been writing about all these hard-and-sweet months in NY and the craigslist dating is something still missing, you’d be perfect for that.

If I’m asking you on a date? No, I’m not. You are the one to do that. If you like.

Congrats on the idea!

Best,

Sandra

hey are you stil looking for a blogger girl date lo I will be more than happy to help you!

This one was a fav:

First, I’m not a blogger. I just don’t have the time for writing long
winded rants and posting them to the outer banks of the inter webs.
But, I read your blog and I’m intrigued with this idea. As a 24 year
old that has never been on a date, I thought this would be the best
time to take advantage of this weird opportunity. You probably think I
am either this trollish looking homebody but I think I’m a pretty cute
kid. Maybe one of the other reasons why I was never treated by the
opposite was that I was a pretty late bloomer as far as looks and
taking care of myself go and that the majority of my friends are males
so I’m only assuming that guys think one of the fellas I’m with are my
boyfriend. Anyways, take me out, be my first date and your latest
experience. A dude that’s going on 100 dates with a girl that has been
on 0.

Hey Travis-

I saw your posting on Craigslist looking for a 20 something female to go on a date with for your blog. This is the second time I’ve come across it, and I think the idea is really interesting. I’m 20, and I know you just wrote about some lunatic date with a 19 year old from a dating website, but I like to think I’m not a 19 year old lunatic and won’t have you running to the bar for rum and cokes… although who knows.

I just started making my blog this week, but once it is up, I think it would be fun to write about the experience on mine as well/link to yours if you have me guest blog. Right now you can get a feel for what my blog will be like if you check out my twitter which is under the name “(her twitter)”.

As far as I go, personally. I am a student at the New School, a personal shopper for an international retailer, work primarily in the fashion field, and live downtown. Always looking for ways to amuse myself, as I’m sure you are as well considering your experiment.

Hope to hear from you!

Hey Travis,

I have no idea who you are or what you look like …. I figure if we do actually go out, it may be fun for it to be “blind.”… anyway I’m a celebrity journalist and I think what you’re doing is a great great concept….certainly something worthy of a book. Excellent idea!

Anyway, I would love to be part of it as your guest blogger. My writing has been published in so many places, such as People magazine, CosmoGIRL and the National Enquirer, in addition to many local newspapers, etc. I have been featured as an entertainment news pundit on many shows, such as Access Hollywood, Chelsea Lately and The Insider.

Let me know if you are interested and we can talk more! Best of luck with your project!

Best,
D C

Hi “Travis Dillinger”,

I discovered your website today while searching craigslist for writing gigs and was oddly fascinated… I couldn’t figure out why, except in the kind of way one is fascinated by car crashes and can’t look away despite the common knowledge that you shouldn’t look, because it causes traffic. So I was wondering if I could interview you to learn more about your project, 100 girls in 100 days, to see how it is going and what you’re getting from it. I have a blog but it’s new, so I don’t know how you’ll benefit from this, but I am so curious.
So, maybe I will hear from you, but I’m not expecting anything.

Sandy

Travis,

Bold and interesting move with the 100 Girls/100 Days project…I’m very curious. I write the blog 20-Nothings.com – a dating/lifestyle hodge-podge for the 20-30-year-old, Manhattan set. Should Day ___ remain in need of a subject slash date, let me know.

All the best,

The Other Dillinger

100 Girls, 100 Days — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 23:58:02 +0000

Long before I embarked on telling the tale of a hundred dates of Dillinger, Dillinger was a character in something else. And I liked the name so I transposed it onto something else. Here is a twenty page sample from that screenplay. It’s called The Girl In Between, and if you try and steal it, it’s WGA registered.

A Campaign For A Dillinger

100 Girls, 100 Days — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 21:25:41 +0000

So I’m still in flux with a few production companies in regards to putting my fair Dillinger on the big screen, and let’s face it I’m a guy with a website, a following, and wide-eyed idealistic casting ambitions. And to me nobody = Travis Dillinger more than Joseph Gordon Levitt.

So heres my goal people: Let’s use the power of the internet to help JGL’s career, as well as my life’s ambition. Facebook this, tweet this, retweet it, message him at @hitrecordjoe tell your mother, your mailman, your editor, your sister, your puppy. Let’s do whatever it takes to get JGL to at least acknowledge and take a gander into the world of Dillinger. And if he wants to bring Zooey along for the ride, all the better.
