These aren't the dates we're worried about. Having a Date-From-Hell story is practically a rite of passage for women, something we can bond and giggle over while we distract ourselves with frozen yogurt on a completely date-less Friday night. Nothing says sisterhood like sharing the time your date called your mom a whore (I wish I was kidding).
No, we're more worried about the other dates. The non-spectacular failures when your roommates demand a play-by-play and all you can say is "eh". Or worse, the non-dates where you are stuck in hanging-out limbo but the guy still has the expectation of making out with you.
Dear Romeos: we know we can seem hard to get sometimes. Ever considered using different bait?

Proxee Consulting is officially open for business.
"Proxee is not like other dating services. We don’t match up, hunt singles, or play cupid. We stand in proxy for the person of your dreams, giving you practice, tips, and advice to help you be a winner on that first date. Consider us a dress rehearsal, your coach in the corner, the final run through before the actual date. There are several basic tricks when it comes to dating, and we’ll clue you in on them." (see our website for more information)
For the Guys:
The Date and Review: You take one of our Proxies out and we'll give you a comprehensive review afterward with individualized feedback about your performance.
Ask the Proxies Personal Email Session: If you just have a quick question about women, dating, or anything else you think we might be able to help with, shoot us an email.
Image Consultancy: Customized tips about personal image and wardrobe.
Our blog will be updated a few times a week with general advice, dating fail stories, and dating success stories. If you have a story to share or you want to be a guest blogger, let us know! We'd love to hear from you.
Love,
Your new Proxee

Want someone to provide the male point of view?
ReplyDeleteWe're considering having one-time guest bloggers and a male POV would be interesting. We're trying to keep it really positive with universal tips. In the case of guys: things like what impresses them on a date, etc. Feel free to email us a sample post and we'll see how it fits :)
ReplyDeleteI like for a woman to explain the reason she would like to go out on a date. Does a man always have to pay?
ReplyDeleteHi James! I didn't see an email address for you so I've answered this the best I can here: http://proxeeconsulting.wordpress.com/2011/06/20/featured-question-does-a-man-always-have-to-pay/
