For those of you who revel in the lamentable escapades of my dating life (haters) I have upsetting news for you: I had a great date tonight. Great. The guy initiated contact with me, suggested a nice restaurant and a time, waited for me while I finished getting my manicure, refused to sit with his back to the door, took off my coat, pulled out my chair, offered me a martini, was gracious to the server, engaged in lively conversation, opened the door, and waited with my while my car warmed up.
In short, he spoiled me.
That's the upswing. Now, haters, the story turns back to you: he's my BFF. The best date I've had in a year is with the man who listens to all my bad date stories before you guys do: ShaDeezy.
ShaDeezy (not his real name), much like me, is single, African-American, straight, and looking for love. Tonight, over a wonderful meal at a Brazilian churrascaria, we exchanged current war stories. This is always fun, as I give him the latest updates in my dating life and he translates the story into ManSpeak for me. ManSpeak, a combination of grunts and guttural chuffs intermingled with actual words, is the language that all men speak intuitively, and all women are deaf to hearing or understanding without a translation. For instance, a woman says, "I love bananas." In ManSpeak, that translates into, "She gives head." Or, a woman might say, "I'm working late tonight." In ManSpeak, that translates into, "She gives head, but she's available later." Or, a woman might say, "I need to call the florist." In ManSpeak, that translates into, "She gives head, but I need to buy flowers." I short, almost everything a woman says translates into some sort of sexual favor. However, every once in a while, the translation is a bit more obscure. This is where ShaDeezy comes in handy.
In return, I translate messages from Divine Articulation to him. Divine Articulation is the language that all women speak. It's very easy to understand, yet so many men have so much difficulty navigating some of the more subtle nuances. For instance, when a woman says, "fine," that usually signals the end of an argument where we are right and the man needs to be quiet." "Five minutes" means thirty minutes if she is getting dressed, but four minutes if she needs your help. "Nothing" always means something. Usually "nothing" signals something big. Very big. And, finally, "Go Ahead" is always a dare, and never actual permission. This means proceed with extreme caution.
So our dinners usually mean I share a conversation with him and he translates it into ManSpeak to me (usually to my horror, where I end up protesting, "but I didn't mean that" and I translate Divine Articulation to him where he groans, puts his head in his hands and exclaims, "Oh God."
Tonight, he broke down the Plus One (+1), Plus Two (+2) rule for me. The +1 rule is very simple. The last person to send a text/make a phone call is +1. If that person initiates a second correspondence, he/she is not +2. At no point in time should a woman ever go above +2, and there is never a reason to go to +3 (Red Alert! Stalker!) during courtship.
ShaDeezy is an integral part of the dating process. He aptly screens and reviews potential applicants in the very early phase of courtship and explains the situation from a man's point of view.

Argh! What to do Next?
The Nice Guy texted.
After waiting patiently for two week, staring at the phone, trying to will the damn thing to ring using the same mental power I use to bend spoons, a text zipped through the line last weekend.
About midnight, this message was sent through text-space: "Hey Evelyn, r u going to ______?" referencing the place we met a few weeks ago. I got it when I woke up the next morning, and waited the requisite 15 hours to respond. I had to follow The Rules.
The Rules on texting are not perfect, but they clearly state the following:
"In order to seem interested, but not desperate, one must never reply immediately to a text. However, waiting too long will seem aloof and disinterested. Following this simple formula will dictate how long to wait to reply. reply time=(x/24)7. x=days since last communication."
Basic math, people, basic math. The Rules also offer an addendum in subsection b, paragraph 14 on texting:
"Addendum: if the text occurs after 10:00 pm on a Friday or Saturday, add 12 to the final number, to make it seem as if you are out on said night, and not watching Fight Club."
So, I waited 15 hours to respond. "Hey! I didn't make it out last night, I had other plans." (Granted, those other plans involved watching Edward Norton and Brad Pitt beat the crap out of each other, but they were plans nonetheless)
No response.
O...K...
Fast forward five days. Another text appears. "How are you doing?"
I'm starting a list of phrases I hate. "How are you doing" is going to rank right next to, "What do you want to do" and "Do you want to hang out?"
What to do next? Should I engage in this text business or not?

Men Like Women Who Cook
So I've decided to brush up my skills in the kitchen. They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, and I'm looking for love. I'm a modern woman, true, but even the most independent woman needs to know how to make some basic foodstuffs for her hunter.
I decided to start simple: baking a cake. Below is my secret recipe.
How to Make a Dump Cake
Start off making a pound cake.
Read the following ingredient list, but do not check to make sure you have everything you actually need.
Ingredients:
3 C flour
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp lemon extract
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 C. Sugar
1 C butter
1 ½ C . Sour Cream
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
10 minutes into mixing the ingredients for the pound cake, realize that you do not have enough sour cream. Substitute milk that is two weeks past the expiration date and just beginning to separate. Realize that you do not have enough milk to make up for the sour cream. Substitute two heaping tablespoons of cream fraise that has been waiting patiently in the back of the fridge for moments like these.
Continue mixing. Look at the batter warily and wonder what will happen to this cake. Search for lemon extract. Realize you are out of lemon exract and substitute the juice and zest of one lemon. Look at the batter warily again.
Keep mixing. Realize that you are short actual flour. Substitute cake flour and bread flour, and hope the equivalents are similar. Look at the batter with one eyebrow raised. Add sugar. Realize you are short in white sugar, and substitute powdered sugar. Pray over the batter.
Grease and flour a bundt pan. Pour the batter into the pan. Put the pan into the oven.
Wait.
After 30 minutes, sniff. The cake will smell done. Wonder, “How in the world is this cake done already?” Follow your instincts and check on the cake. Open the door. Look at the cake batter as it rises far above the pan and is dripping onto the burners in the oven. Shrug your shoulders and think “it’ll burn off.”
Go back to reading your book.
After 5 more minutes, follow your instincts again and check the cake. Open the oven door and watch plumes of dark grey smoke lead the angry orange and yellow flames shooting from the bottom of the oven, from the burners where the batter has landed.
Shut the oven door quickly.
Run and ask GOOGLE “Stop fire in oven?!” Thank GOOGLE for its expediency. Call three friends (two won’t answer the phone ) and ask, “Um, how do you stop an oven fire?” as a back up to GOOGLE.
Turn the heat off. Leave the door closed. Let the oven cool for about 6 minutes.
Cautiously open the door again. Take the cake out (by now it should be golden brown at the top). Take a butter knife. Scrape the burned bits off the bottom of the oven. Make sure to get all the bits, to prevent reigniting.
Look at the cake. It will look great. Be sad to have to throw it away. Think, “What the hell?” Put the cake back in the oven, with a baking sheet under the bundt pan to catch for any more batter drips.
Continue baking 20 more minutes.
Take the cake out. Serve it to your greedy vulture friends and co-workers. Smile.
Save the recipe for a romantic dinner at home with your boyfriend.

Dadlet
Go to YouTube. Pull up an episode of the 1980's tv sitcom ALF. Look at the dad. Now, imagine he is 5'4, with small fingers. Now, drop the dadet into a tapas, thai and wine bar at a bar, where he is sitting alone. Dadlet--tiny 1980's sitcom dad, miniature dad.
Imagine me. If you don't know me, I'm beautiful. Stunning, really. If you do know me, pretend I'm beautiful. Stunning even.
I sit at the bar to get a glass of cabernet before I return home to nurse some pretty persistent seasonal allergies. Dadlet strikes up a conversation with me about the menu. I suggest a few items and he suggests that we share our tapas. I weigh the possibilities: talking to someone or sitting with my sniffles. He wins.
We share a plate of tapas and order another. He's interesting to talk to, but clearly getting plastered. I continue to nurse my one glass of wine.
He espouses his views on Arabs (evidently, they're all infidels), fireman (evidently, they're all screwing the retirement system) the California collegiate system (evidently, they don't understand capitalism), and short sales (evidently, he's on the brink of homelessness).
I order another glass of wine.
After conversing for an hour or so, dadlet (whose face is growing redder by every drink of wine he ingests) leans over to me, and slurs the following:
"So, what are you doing when you leave here?"
Did I mention that it was 10:30 at night?
I reply that I'm going home for my date with a Benadryl tablet and two tablespoons of NyQuil.
"That doesn't sound like fun," he hiccups as his eyes start to droop.
"Allergies," I reply, with the same serious tone one might use to say "cancer" or "Mr. President, the aliens have landed."
At this point he says that he is about to leave and asks for the check. The bartender comes over.
"Thanks for..."I start when he cuts me off.
"Oh, I'm only paying for me" he interrupts, and gives the bartender a $100 bill.
"I was saying 'thanks for the nice conversation'" I continue, offended.
"Oh. Ok. Want to come home with me? I have a jacuzzi," he says, as if he is offering a competitive bid for the Benadryl.
At this point, I'm offended and disgusted. Dadlet has just--rudely, I might add--declined to pay for a drink and appetizer that I didn't ask him to pay for and has continued to invite me over to the jacuzzi? Are. You. Serious?
"No thank you," I reply.
"My jacuzzi is really nice. And, (hicccup) I only live right up the road. You can show me that video you were talking about. Then I can show you a video..." he trails off, looking at me very seriously.
"Yeah, no." I reply, as this clearly violates Rule #2--no dates that violate my personal safety or freedom.
"Oh. Well, no means no, I guess," dadlet sneers, "but if you change your mind, the hot water might make you feel better. You can see my office." By office, I'm thinking the room where he watches hours of internet porn. He looks like the kind of guy who watches hours of internet porn. Hours.
He leaves. I wait 20 minutes then have the bartender walk with me to my car. Though, he was so tiny I'm pretty sure I could have taken him.

So...Are We Just Gonna Chit-Chat? Evidently, Yes.
TweedleDum must suffer from the degenerative condition called dateitis. Dateitis, I've found, afflicts quite a lot of men. I'm going to say that one-in-three men suffer from dateitis and it's the number one killer of women's interest in dating a man. Dateitis is serious stuff, people.
Dateitis occurs when a man appears to be interested in dating. In reality, he is not. Symptoms of this condition include: several phone calls/text messages in a twenty-four hour period; asking the question, "So, what do you want to do?" repeatedly, even after being given full autonomy to plan a date; saying phrases like, "I really want to see you again," but making zero measures to get together; and offering dates that include, "coming over to watch movies." (This, fellas, is not dating. Especially for a first date. This is a huge fail.)
Eventually, dateitis turns into two people being phone boyfriends/girlfriends, which, after the age of twelve, is nothing short of utterly ridiculous. The boy will call and want to talk, but will never initiate or put together a date.
So, TweedleDum has called me no less than twelve times since last Sunday night. We've spoken twice. Both times he has expressed interest in seeing me again, but he has taken zero measures to make it happen. My gut is telling me that he is going to offer for us to "watch movies" at his apartment, but I may be wrong.
Today we spoke for seven minutes. The conversation went like this:
Him-"I really want to see you again"
Me-"That would be nice."
Him-"So, what do you want to do?"
Me-"I'm flexible. What sounds good to you?"
Him"I don't know."
Silence.
More silence.
Him-"I really want to see you again."
Me-"Ok, well what would you like to do?"
Silence.
Him- "Um..."
Silence
Him- "What about pool or bowling or dinner?"
Me-"All of those sound like great ideas. I love shooting pool, it's a lot of fun."
Silence
More silence. I start counting prime numbers in my head.
More silence. I start wondering about the next M&M color. I think it's time for the flourescent line.
More silence. I wonder if I can balance a spoon on my nose. I get a spoon. I can't.
Me- "So...I'm off for the rest of the weekend...just let me know when you want to get together..."
Him-"Yeah. So what do you want to do?"
At this point, I want to ask the universe what I did in my past love life to get such a major karma slam in this love life. I want to universe to justify its cruel and unusual punishment. I want to go back to undergrad and find the husband I clearly missed. I want the spoon to stay on my nose.
What I don't want to do is craft my own first date.

A Self Reflection and Possible (Sigh) Date
After talking to TweedleDee this evening, I decided that I might need to engage in some self reflection to figure out why I keep attracting such, well, weirdos. So, I turned to the best person to tell me how great (or screwed up) I actually am: Oprah.
As I was perusing ye olde internet for personality assessments, I stumbled across a very official test of charima at Oprah.com. I took the test and answered all questions honestly. Here are the results:
Your Score 63
You have a hard time going unnoticed. You are one of the lucky few (only 5 percent of people score above 60) with that uncanny ability to light up a room. You probably have some experience as a performer, and are especially expressive and sensitive to others.
Your score indicates your level of charisma, or in psychological terms, how well you express yourself nonverbally. In my 25 years of research on the subject, I've found that the most alluring individuals can effortlessly communicate without words—through expressions, gestures, tone of voice, and other subtle signals. [If your score is lower than you'd like, follow Martha Beck's guide to boosting your charisma quotient.] — Howard S. Friedman, PhD
Now, this certainly sounds official. And, it's been verified by an internet PhD, so it must be true, even though the entire test only took me seven minutes to complete.
So, according to this, I should attract lots of people. Well, that's true. The problem is, most of the men I attract seem to be bottom feeders. And, not even cool bottom feeders like lobster or starfish, more like that slimy Asian carp that's mucking up the Great Lakes.
Tonight I engaged with the first conversation with TweedleDum, or Mr. Functionally Retarded. I won't bore you with the details of our entire talk, but I will relay the following information which I got after the first ten minutes of the first conversation we've ever had:
1) His mother is bipolar schizophrenic.
2) His sister is bioplar. Though not schizophrenic.
3) His sister is married. To an ex-con. With a penchant for violence. And a taste for beating his wife.
4) He is fixing his financial issues.
5) He has no car, though, evidently we're going out on Monday.
6) He is looking to lead a quiet life, one where his wife comes home every night and cooks.
On the upswing, he has all of his teeth.

Mr. Nice Guy.
So I met a guy. A nice guy. A normal guy. A guy with all his teeth. A guy who walks women to their cars. A guy with a good sense of humor.
Now, dear reader, I'm sure that you're waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm sure you're waiting to hear that he's a 4'11 or that he has five kids by six different women or that he has a teardrop tattoo just underneath his left eye. He doesn't.
And, my bbff is going to be so angry at me for this,but that's all the information I'm disclosing at this point.
Oh, I gave him my real phone number.
