HowAboutWe Date Reporters

Classiest profile picture I've seen in a long time.

I showed up wearing a cute black dress and a statement necklace.  My date thought I needed more accessories.  Arrrrrr!

[datereporter]

That's me, posh spice.

I'll be sad to leave the people I've been dating here...

Summer romances must end I suppose?

When you finally decide you like the guy... and he stops calling.

[datereporter]

Hands down the most bizarre message I've ever received.

[datereporter]

Hm. This guy's profile photo is a sketch? Did he draw it?

Profile images like this make me nervous, what do you guys think?

[datereporter]

Pro-tip: Don't mention serial killers in your first online-dating communication.

Some choice selections from over the weekend:

Excerpted verbatim:

1/ "Hello there hows ur night going in hot LA"

2/ "Hi gorgeous how are you"

3/ "Wow you're adorable. I'd love to come over and hangout with you. Text me."

4/ "You seem so nice, and although I'm new here and haven't really filled out anything (managed a pic), I would love to meet you. I understand that you might get many emails. So I hope you read this. You mentioned you sometimes smoke. I hope I can get you to meet me at that sometime point."

After going through my whole profile, his entire take-away is that I sometimes smoke?

Last Friday I had a beach-day third date with Matt. It was awesome. I'll be writing all about it for my next post!

[datereporter]

I'm so confused.

[datereporter]

Such an LA date! And I love it.

So far every single guy I've gone out with here surfs. It's amazing!

Now I just need my own board and wetsuit. #singleinsocalproblems

Date ideas excellent (above) and less excellent (below).

Do: choose something specific and unusual (I said unusual, not weird!) that sounds neat

Don't: make it clear you've put zero effort into your suggestion

[datereporter]

In an hour or so I have an afternoon coffee date. Because apparently that's big in LA.

Date #2 via HowAboutWe for this week.. fingers crossed!
