The Blocks...

Ok... Life has been incredibly crazy right now and I have not used this blog for its intended purpose. So here we go on something this blog was intended for... blockage... and a subject that is difficult for me to research.

Romance...

As many of my closest friends know, I'm in the process of trying to write a romantic comedy. This plot has twisted and changed over the months I've been working on it, but so has my life. So far, the story involves a few things every guy has experienced. Especially the dreaded "friendzone." Basically it involves a man who has spent a good deal of his free time setting up and maintaining couples. A kind of all-in-one matchmaker/relationship counselor. Well he has been trying to win the heart of one of his best friends, but she comes to him looking for his help in setting her up with someone. Well he realizes he needs to "set her up" with a bunch of horrible dates so she might be more receptive to him. So he goes to several online dating sites and creates multiple accounts with different personalities. He hopes that each of these will scare her off other guys and accept him. Well another woman has started flirting with these multiple personalities, and the lack of responses is making the dating websites question if all these people are real. He starts getting emails saying the profiles may face possible deletion soon. Since his plan with his lovely lady friend hasn't had enough time yet, he must pretend to be all these men. Thus he has to go on dates with the same woman as each of his different personalities, while trying to keep her from knowing, as well as hiding his true intentions.

Ok... here's the problem... Do I let him get his long time friend? Does he instead realize the other woman he's dating as all the alternate people is more interesting, and thus has to face the moment of truth? Does he win any woman over? Or should I tweak it, so instead of two women, it's just one... or even one step farther and she's playing the same game he is?
