The Great Date Experiment

I may find a boyfriend, or I may just humiliate myself. Either way, you can read all about it.

Woo! January 5, 2009

On Match.com, you can “wink” at someone you’re interested in. On OkCupid, they call it a “woo”. A few days ago FratBoy sent me a “woo” which was nice. I sent a short message back saying that it was really sweet. He’s pretty cute, maybe a little of the frat boy look, which would be a turn off except… he acknowledged it in his profile, which made me laugh.

picture-21So that was that, until tonight we both received the sneaky email letting us know that we each rated each other a 4 or 5 star on looks. Now what do I write? Also, he’s 25. That’s a titch young. But I’m going to try and not let the age thing get to me too much.

    Might be fun, you should check him out.

    Write:

    “Hey wooer, lets meet somewhere and find out more. Don’t wear the hat.”

    HAHA! Write whatever you want – we’re just the audience.

    i agree that you should see if he wants to meet. while age is something to consider, he is not too young that it is not even worth it. plus he wooed you which is always nice. plus as a reader i want to hear what happens on a date which means you need to go on one :)

  3. Bdog Says:

    I second what Jane said. He’s good-looking and funny. Go for it.

  4. Joe Says:

    Gotta love the pictures where the ex is almost, but not quite, cut out of the picture. :)

  5. Reed Says:

    thank you, joe, for pointing out what i think is one of the most laughable things on dating websites: posting photos of you with your ex (or it could be just a friend, but it looks bad anyway) not QUIIITE cropped out all the way.

    and yeah, the hat’s gotta go.

    but i say give this guy 30-60 minutes of your life over coffee… it won’t kill anyone.

    I say no to meeting up with this guy.

    He’s going to try and take you back to his house after he shows you his capability of shotgunning 3 PBR’s in a row, introduce you to his 7 roommates, which he only knows the names of 4 of them. Then as he is giving you the “tour” to his bedroom you walk by the bathroom, and see dirty socks, towels, and empty TP rolls on the floor. Along with those other hairy things. Sick. Then, he’ll put on some Jonas Brothers and try to make “love” to you on the futon on the floor. ( No, I have never met this guy or know anything about “frat” boys. ha ha)

    Say “NO” nayb.

    HAHA – thats pretty funny Laurel…I think I lived that life a long time ago.

    After you accept the invite to the kegger, maybe he’ll challenge you to a game of fusbol, asshole or beer pong.

    He’ll also describe his deep love for a hair band by pointing to the poster on the wall with tickets taped along the edge.

    To get romantic, he’ll hand-sweep the chips off the couch and turn off everything except the Budweiser light.

    That noise in the middle of the night is a terrarium with a lizard or snake in it.

    Someone in the house will have about 100 baseball caps lined up on the shelf as a permanent wardrobe accessory.

    The fridge will be filled with only styrofoam containers with initials on them.

    Okay, I gotta stop. My 1993 is creeping back…run away!

    Any guy that just leaves a wink or a woo is saying I am too lazy to write an email that tells you anything about him or I am not that into you.
