I thought about computer dating. I got as far as googling tips for how to make a good profile. The first tip was not to take your own photos, because it'll make you look like you have no friends and never do anything fun. No woman wants to go out with a guy who can't maintain a single personal relationship. All the tips were like that, how to reassure women they're not going to end up with me. I couldn't decide if I'd rather reserve a booth at the pub for my mom to take some photos of me acting like I belong there, or see if my building manager would give me the key to the roof if I told her I needed it for sunbathing instead of suicide. In the end I think I had a pizza and forgot about it.
Has anyone ever successfully picked up a girl in a car? It's impossible, right? You're walking down a deserted street, a car with one or more girls in it pulls up beside you, in the brief window before they start giggling and speed off... what do you do? What do you say? Every time it happens, I think that next time I'm going to be real cool, like Joey Tribbiani. And every time I freeze up. I'm lucky if I can manage a smile, let alone a "How you doin'?" Are there really guys out there converting these things into dates? Or should I just stop torturing myself, because it's Chinatown? |
