Google Doc of my life.

Several months ago, I started a google spreadsheet to keep track of my conquests and dating patterns. I columns for name, job, income, religion, type, physical characteristics, and notes. There are 3 sheets in the document: Active, Deactivated, and Prospects.

Without going into too much detail, this helps me keep track of all the men in my life, and helps me to create closure when a relationship or dating period ends. When I haven't heard from a guy in over 2 weeks, I simply move their row over into the "Deactivated" pile.

I am pretty good at my job, and decided, why shouldn't I bring the same kind of organization and thoughtfulness to my love life that I bring to work. Organizing their names and careers on a sheet helps me to feel in control, and manage my strategies for relationships. If there is a prospect that is particularly attractive, I focus my outreach efforts on him.

The problem comes when your actives list is narrowed down to two.
