SNEAK PREVIEW of our new weekly column: “Unleashed: The True Story of a Serial Monogamist”…Coming Thursday!!

This Thursday, December 2, Leftos the Blog will be debuting our first ever series on casual dating, called “Unleashed: The True Story of a Serial Monogamist” written by our very own Amalie Paris. Throughout the next few months, “Unleashed” will share the true story of a woman who has jumped from one serious relationship to another and gotten nowhere. Amalie has realized that in order to discover what she wants and needs from a relationship in the future, she needs to find out who she really is. By avoiding relationships and dating different men, we will follow her story to self discovery and hopefully, a man she’s truly compatible with. Here is an excerpt to show you the nitty gritty of what we’re really dealing with:

…I am conducting a personal, social experiment in order to become a stronger, smarter, and better person. I am testing those rules and boundaries. I want to have fun, enjoy everything life has to offer, and learn about myself. As such, for the first time since the tender young age of sixteen, I am going to be relationship-free for at least six months (though definitely not boy-free). Some of you may scoff at the short length of time, but I assure you… For me, that length of time is forever. And who knows? Maybe I’ll want to
extend it…

In the meantime, some of my friends who know my history (and addiction to relationships) don’t believe that I will survive the full six months. Being stubborn and having to always be right (and/or win), I now consider it a challenge.

My goal: To learn as much as I possibly can about myself, other men, their quirks and personalities, how I react to them, and to grow personally from all this – intellectually, emotionally, and sexually. I plan on pushing the boundaries of my comfort zone as far as possible so that I can truly identify where my limits are and where I would like them to be.
