And I will readily admit there are reality stars who are hardly likeable, but yet, offer up compelling enough narratives/drama that we tune in (in large part) to side eye their antics...

One of the worst first date situations I went through involved a guy who was very new in town being nearly an hour late because he got lost twice trying to navigate the highways (which are not difficult and he had a smartphone). Instead he sent me one frantic text saying he would be late and didn’t answer my call…

I don’t know. I feel like if it doesn’t work out for whatever reason it just doesn’t work out and no magic formula will change the outcome as some people just aren’t compatible. Maybe as a gay male this is different, or I just have to rethink my approach to dating.

I did not think that I would pursue a relationship with my now-husband after the first date, but because of deciding at some point that I would give anyone who was not terrifying three dates, I ended up hanging out with him two more times. The third time was a hike with some friends of mine and he really came into his…

Well—it will probably ensure a second date...

went on a date with a married woman. Or girl. We’re both young 20's. But she’s going through a divorce. It was...odd hearing her mention her husband.

My favorite bad first date story comes from my brother: When the bill came, he went to pay but realized he had forgotten his wallet. She had taken public transportation to get there, so he offered to give her a ride home so she didn’t have to get back on the bus that night, which she accepted. When they got where he…

Oh dear... I just realized I am guilty of “the triangle gaze” in all my conversations. I sometimes have a hard time understanding what people say, so I will flick my gaze between their eyes and their lips to pick up some lip reading cues... I wonder how many people thought I was thinking about going in for the kiss!…

My money is on, “might have been genuinely happy as a couple for awhile, if only because awful people tend to enjoy each others’ company.”

No, listen, this fits perfectly into Transparent. The shows focuses on the late-in-life transition of Maura, but it all plays out in this incredibly privileged, white, affluent, insular community where everyone gets to fuck up and be a total asshole without any real consequences. Caitlin Jenner is a perfect example of…

She acted happy being married to Kris for awhile. That alone deserves an award.

:/

I mean, maybe in the past 3 or 4 years, there’s been some social pressure not to be an asshole white person ruining everything. But otherwise, no.

As a white person, I’ve gotta call bullshit on that. I have never experienced a moment of societal pressure in my life that could be considered as being due to my whiteness. And that’s getting close to fifty years, now.

Eh, I mean I have them a bunch of blankets in return so... Do they really need a DAY too?

The only rule is: ALWAYS LEAD WITH A PUN
