HowAboutWe… Ask the Expert
Aaron and Brian of HowAboutWe tells us what’s what on five confessions—among them, bad dates, male scuffles and sex in public places.
1. Can I Get A Man With That? — It’s true! A guy had the audacity to take one of our contributors to Burger King on a first date. And yes, it was in New York.
HowAboutWe — Half-way through this confession, we’re thinking, “If this is real, this chick has got to go. Got. To. Go.” You CAN cut off a bad date at any point, if you’ve got it like that. Date how you want to. There is no shame in ditching a date if he or she is a tool.
CIGAMWT — We’ll put this in the contributor’s own words: “I will never forget the image of two Italian men, engaged in a screaming fit over me…one with his balls hanging out of my pants.”
HAW — Congratulations.
3. A Class Act
CIGAMWT — We’re gonna make an educated guess that every teen has fantasized at least once about getting it on in a janitor’s closet. These brave souls actually did it. Too bad they got caught.
HAW — Brian got away with this one in high school. (Senior lounge)
CIGAMWT — In a city as big as New York, what are the odds of running into the same guy all over town? At a restaurant. At a bar. On the subway. AND … on chatroulette?!
HAW — Stalker?
CIGAMWT — This is a prime example of why some people just aren’t interested in online dating. Here we have a contributor who signed up for one of those free communication weekends, hits it off with her first match, starts chatting with him online for weeks, and when she finally meets him, he turns out to be “hobbit-sized” with “an unfortunate case of male pattern baldness.”
HAW — Extensive online communication can be one of the more delusion-inducing practices known in the 21st Century. Not to be too self-promotional, but this is part of why HowAboutWe makes sense — you go on-line to get off-line. Go out and see if it’s a fit. Do something you want to do anyways so you don’t waste your time if it’s not perfect.
