Friend: “So if you’re dating a guy and things are going well, at what point do you tell him about the blog?”
Um, obviously in the first or second month.
After our first grandchild is born.
At that point he’ll be pretty locked in.

Dating App PSA
Dear All Men Everywhere,
It is really REALLY super creepy when the main profile photo on your dating app is a picture of yourself as a young boy. Do you think we like this? I’m so confused. This is the only photo we see in that first instant when we decide if we’re swiping right or left– are you TRYING to attract a woman who looks at a picture of a 5 year old boy and says “Ooooh, tell me MORE!”?
If that IS who you’re looking for, maybe try looking somewhere else.
Like jail.
That’s where pedophiles are. In jail.
Now stop being a creepster. The world has enough problems.
Emily
This.
Oh.
The Best Advice
“Maybe don’t.”– friend, when I said my upcoming second-date strategy will be to just put it all out there and be myself.

Sassy Pedicurist: You Get Wax Today
Sassy: “You have date this week?”
Me: “Yes, on Tuesday.”
Sassy: “Then you get eyebrow wax today.”
Me: “No thank you.”
Sassy: <shrugs>
(long silent pause as she files my nails)
Sassy: “No wax is big mistake.”
This Guy Who Missed The Memo
The N-word in your very first text– keepin it classy, Brian!
(Context: There was a photo in his profile of him with Bob Dole, clearly taken years ago)
Yes. Brian is white. (And on behalf of white people everywhere, I would just like to thank him for the good PR.)
Why, yes. Yes I WOULD be interested.
