Man learns casino losses not deductible
SOMERSET, N.J., Jan. 3 (UPI) -- A 43-year-old New Jersey woman says after failing to find love in 2009 through her Web site, 52weeks2findhim.com, she is taking a romantic break in 2010.
Neenah Pickett of Somerset, N.J., said her yearlong experiment did help her easily set a personal record for numbers of dates in a year, but unfortunately none of those romantic outings resulted in true love, the New York Daily News said Sunday.
"I've had more dates this year than I've had in my entire life combined," the media consultant said. "I realize now that it does help to be proactive, but you can't ever let it steal your joy or steal your peace."
While Pickett is taking time off from pursuing her Prince Charming for 52 weeks, she admits she would not ignore a possible suitor if approached.
"I don't feel that I should put finding love aside. I feel I should still be hopeful of finding it," she told the Daily News. "If I end up going back out there in 2011, I think I'll be wiser for taking that time off."
