The First "Date"...Coming Soon!

Post by:Sir F

It's 5am. I had my first "date" tonight. The two have no relationship to each other. It's late and I have to work this one day thing tomorrow, but I shall post about my experience ASAP!

Keep It Cheap?

Post By:Sir F

As it stated in the issue, I am unemployed and very broke. I made enough money last week from selling a bunch of my DVDs (it broke my heart to sell a lot of those DVDs) to get me by a little but I spent too much on Monday night at the mixer so now funds are almost gone and I only have about 2 days of work coming up next week (and the money I will not see for 2 weeks after that which will probably be $150 at most).

So my question is this, ladies...
When is a cheap date too cheap?

People always say there's fun stuff you can do for Free, but we all know that alcohol eventually comes into play and there's never just one drink.

I've had dates before where they would insist on paying for the date, but I could definitely feel that hesitation and the feeling of "I shouldn't have to be doing this". It makes me feel terrible and I HATE doing that. I become annoyingly apologetic and the whole time I keep thinking, "You're a creep! Wash dishes or work fast food if you're this bad off, ya jerk"! And then my date is left wondering why I'm muttering to myself and occasionally punching myself viciously in the stomach.

Have you ladies ever had a good cheap date? When does it start to become annoying when the guy just doesn't have the cash to throw around? Does this beard make me look stupid? Who wants ice cream?!

Keep it real, boo

The Fine Art of Blah Blah Blah (blog)

Well what do we have here? A blog for those who have been put on public display and have had the floodgates of strange and unusual e-mails thrust upon us! Ok, maybe not thrust since we willingly (just barely for some) took part in the Time Out New York feature. Wait... I just typed thrust and avoided an easy sexual innuendo. Wait...scratch that. There I go again. Why, hello ladies!

Lame.

OK, moving on...

I'm happy to be contributing to this blog. I met these lovely ladies at the TONY mixer and clicked instantly with them (at least I thought so). These women are awesome and deserve some bitchin' dudes to date them (yes, I talk like this).

So far I've received about 20 e-mails, which blows my mind considering I didn't hide my love for Ghostbusters, Gremlins and mid-90's Winona Ryder. I would say about 80% of the e-mails were pretty wacky. It doesn't surprise me since I put my "geekiness" out there on the table. There might be a fine line between geeky and "geeky", but that line is there. I don't think there's a train that goes to Middle-earth, ya dig? High Five! I'm an ass.

I'm new to this whole online dating thing, but shouldn't it be common knowledge to send a picture with an e-mail? And on top of that, wouldn't you want to find the most flattering or semi-flattering picture of yourself? A friend of mine told me that sending a picture with an e-mail is much like if you were at a bar and someone approached you. As much as you'd like to think you're not shallow, you do size up and know if this person is appealing to you or not and if you want to spend time getting to know that person. It's awkward for all involved if you end up sending a picture later only to not have that person respond back after initial correspondence. It just saves time and hassle. That's really all I have to say on that.

I have my first "date" tomorrow night. More of a meet up. Just a friendly chat. I will post about it on Friday.

Glad to be here. Hope I didn't come off as a giant jerk. I'm only slightly awful (ask my kids I abandoned).

Happy Dating, Friends! Please don't die!

Who are we you ask?

Lady A:

My style in 10 words or less:
Rockabilly-Housewife meets sophisticated goth. Sucker for garters/stockings and heels!

My outlook on life in 10 words or less:
Making adventures out of every day events.

About me:
I am a lil ball of happy energy. An insomniac that loves sleep. Way too sarcastic for my own good. I strive to be a mix of Martha Stewart/Frida Kahlo/Bettie Page. I check out books from the library & watch PBS. I like holding hands and laughing so hard I snort. I want someone who doesn't play games, unless the game is scrabble. Not into showy flashy guys, BUT I do enjoy good manners and non-picky eaters

Lady N:

My style in 10 words or less:

Contradicting. Edgy and girly

My outlook on life in 10 words or less:

Glass is half empty. Bartender, can I have another?

About me:
I’m pretty goofy, read a lot of books, swim every day, and have a weak spot for online shopping and dirty martinis. I have a tendency to say inappropriate things at the dinner table. I’m really great at doing imitations of people. I never know the words to any songs. Looking for someone who has a sarcastic sense of humor and isn’t afraid to bust my balls and call me out on my bullshit.

Lady M:
My style in 10 words or less:
A punk rock femme inteligista who enjoys whisky, vinyl, and leather jackets.

My outlook on life in 10 words or less:
Live fast, and leave your inhibitions at the door.

About me:
I’m not your run of the average NYC girl clone. I like spending my nights rummaging through record collections and watching old movies. I’m that chick you call up when you want to take a last minute road trip to Graceland at 3am. I like books and I’m not talking about Oprah’s book club picks either. B- horror movies and funny guys melt my heart and if they dance even better.

AND

Sir F:

My style in 10 words or less:
laid-back but not borderline homeless chic

My outlook on life in 10 words or less:
Everything happens for a reason. Life’s what you make it.

About me:
I’m pretty laid-back and easygoing. I study and perform improv and sketch comedy at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre and around town. A great sense of humor is important. Ghost Busters and Gremlins are the two greatest films ever made. Believe it. What am I ideally looking for? Winona Ryder. Circa ’94–’95. Let’s see if this works. They make time machines, right?

*heart, 

Your ladies AND gentleman
