National media attention. A forthcoming book. And meeting the man of her dreams. That’s what 2009 has looked like for Tamara Duricka, the blogger behind the unique idea 31 dates in 31 days.

The goal of the project was for the 31-year-old blogger to discover where she had been going wrong with relationships. Her idea was to date 30 men for 31 minutes, for under $31 a date. One ‘winner’ was chosen for a second date.

Looks like the mission was accomplished. Not only is the blogger engaged, but she remains tight with many of the other men she dated.

In her words:

When I started this project, I had no intentions of finding a boyfriend. In fact, I had no idea what would happen. I just wanted to learn something. What I found was more than I could have ever imagined!

Blogging is a gateway to so many things! With a unique idea and some decent writing chops, you can punch a ticket to just about anywhere – even to true love.

Congrats Tamara!
