#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @Datestable

This is a banner week in the life of yours truly, with a trifecta of social networking achievements. First, I officially join the Yelp elite squad on Monday. Then, on Tuesday, I become Foursquare Mayor of my favorite lunchtime haunt, Soup Spot (only 27 check-ins later). And, on Wednesday, I get to inaugurate a column for venerable bloggeress Jen Friel on her awesome site just as my new blog, Da-Testable (title open to interpretation apparently), starts to take off. I feel like I rolled doubles three times in a row in Monopoly and should be carted off to the slammer. If there were any justice in the social media world, I probably would be.

Oh, how rude of me. Allow me to introduce myself: I’m a 31-year old Brooklyn dude, conceived and reared in the USSR. Once the Berlin Wall came down, shamefully exposing our peoples with our pants down, coffers empty, and spirits broken, my family decided to exercise the time-honored Jewish tradition of fleeing and migrate to NYC. Thus were my dreams of becoming a tiny-golden-giraffe-petting Oil-i-garch squashed. And I, in turn, squashed my parents’ fledgling dreams of immigrant success as I danced my way into a lower-tier Ivy League school and spent 4 years socializing with real Americans, majoring in hobbies, and drinking questionable brews. The perfect preparation for my then-to-be-future career as a moonlighting online dating blogger.

Luckily for you, I’m still single at 31, ready and willing to impart highlights, lowlights, and the occasional insight. What can you expect from me? Hijinks, bad puns, OkCupid anecdotes, flash stories, moments of shame, long sentences, awkward online silences, and total satisfaction. So stay tuned, and re-re-reFaceTweet!
