How to Date


Now that I'm no longer flailing about in the often arbitrary world of dating, I am a self-appointed expert. (God forbid I ever have to swim through those waters again.) Did I just get lucky in meeting a man like Jesse? After careful analysis, I have come to the conclusion that the key to meeting a good partner, like a nice salad, is a combination of fresh, wholesome ingredients.

Recipe for Love

Ingredients:

-8 cups thinly chopped Authenticity. You have to be yourself, all the way. If your potential date doesn't like the flavor, it is best that he/she move on. Note: Make sure you don't choke him with too much of your awesomeness all at once.

-8 cups of Good Health. Inner and outer beauty come mainly from exercise and a good diet, not makeup and trendy clothing.

-3 tablespoons of Developed Interests. Pick two or three activities and actively pursue them. Potential mates love to see you doing something you love. They would instinctively like to see themselves become something you love too.

-2 tablespoons of Humor. Yours, not his. If you think it's funny, he probably will too. Or else he'll will move on. And that's probably for the best.

-1 splash of Flirtation. This is the spice that gets him at the table, fork in hand, ready to try out your dish. Just like a well-written story, every beginning needs a hook.
