A GChat With My Mom, On The Topic of Dating

  • Me: If you were dating now, what medium do you think you’d use to communicate with guys — phone? text? email?
  • twitter?
  • Susan: email and text. Definitely not twitter. And preferably not phone, because it puts people on the spot. Like me.
  • Me: I know you really hate the phone
  • GChat is good for dating but sometimes hard because if you’re both online all day, there’s pressure to TALK all day
  • Sent at 3 51 PM on Thursday
  • Me: ….mom?

If you’ve ever found yourself asking “Where have all the good men gone?” Erika’s answer is, quite simply, the F line. Or the C line, or the L, depending on your taste. They’re going to work, they’re going to see friends, they’re going to run errands, and, for the most part, they’re getting there by subway. Her logic makes sense: what do all the single men of New York City have in common? Well, they pretty much all take the train.

I went on a blind date set up by the subway matchmaker last week!

"You don’t need a relationship to make you happy. You are the culmination of centuries of women who protested in pantaloons for your right to spend a Tuesday night reading a book with a glass of wine instead of cooking dinner for the family you felt societal pressure to have."

A Geech With Kelly Williams Brown

  • Kelly: I think it’s also important, when you ask someone out
  • to be really fucking clear about your intentions.
  • Me: YES
  • Kelly: Like, the whole reason you are finding this bravery within yourself is because you can’t bear to not know.
  • Me: “Hey, maybe we could get together to talk about a project” is not a date
  • Kelly: So don’t water that down by writing something that could be interpreted as just friendly.
  • “Hey, my roommates and I are having a party on Saturday” — also not a date.
  • me: “Hey, awesome seeing you Saturday. Any interest in getting a drink sometime?” Date!
  • Kelly: Date!
  • Me: “Hey, awesome seeing you Saturday. I might be in the neighborhood this weekend, let me know if you’re around.” Nooooot a date.
  • Kelly: Not a date.
  • Asking someone out on a date should contain a call to action. The more specific, the better.
  • “Hey, it was great seeing you Saturday. Want to grab a drink after work this Friday?”
  • Me: Genius. Totally a date.
