US woman asks magazine
SHE has a degree, she's funny and she's not a bad looker.

SHE has a degree, she's funny and she's not a bad looker.
So what has driven 29-year-old Sarah DiMuro to get a magazine to help 'sell' her virginity?
The Catholic-raised Rhode Island native explained: 'Recently, I just became startlingly aware of the fact that I'm about to turn 30.
'Some people buy a new car. Some people get their hair cut differently.
'Me, I haven't done so much with my life in terms of social stuff. So this is my adventure - with a kind of scientific method.'
She'll be 30 on 7 Nov. So, with time ticking, she decided to enlist the help of Jane magazine to meet the deadline, reported The New York Daily Mail.
Miss DiMuro, who says her first kiss with a boy didn't happen till she was 23, has signed a legal document attesting to her chastity.
She's even game for a medical exam to verify her claim.
She said: 'I am a girl who is not particularly religious nor prudish or shy, but I was a complete and utter dork growing up.
'I had braces, teenage acne, and experienced social shyness and, as a result, attended only all-women's educational institutions.
'I have wonderful parents and come from a great background, but just never really got a chance to, well, 'do it'.
'I never thought I'd be approaching my 30th birthday as a virgin who hasn't found a meaningful connection, but here I am.'
Predictably, her unusual quest has proved a PR bonanza for both herself and the women's mag - which will publish her blog about her blind dates and her progress, if any, from first base to home plate.
The magazine's website now features a Sarah Needs You section (www.janemag.com/virgin) dedicated to helping Miss DiMuro find the right guy.
Readers are invited to nominate candidates to date her and can browse through a slideshow of Sarah's potential suitors.
Sarah's Dating Blog will feature her commentary after every date and the Pick Sarah's Date feature offers web readers the ability to vote on who she goes out with next.
Sounds stressful, you say?
Without a doubt it is - the decision to put her fate in the hands of magazine readers may just prove to be more of an adventure than Miss DiMuro counted on.
'I'm a little bit anxious about all of this,' said the stand-up comedienne and humour writer.
'I guess this is why my stomach hurts so much.'
Yesterday's first date - with a guy named Lucky - didn't go so well.
'The fact is that Lucky and I had no spark or real connection,' she wrote on her blog.
In fact, it turned out Lucky was trying to get lucky with the Jane magazine representative instead.
He wrote on Miss DiMuro's blog: 'I felt that some little sparks flew between the Jane magazine rep.
'I wish she had been my date... she is the girl I've been thinking about since last night.'
Well, who said finding Mr Right was easy?
