The Great Debate

So not to instigate the 'battle of the sexes' or anything, but allow me to instigate...

I tuned in to Colby & Hanks having a heated debate over the proper protocol for twenty-something pursuit. Specifically: dating. There was a clear disconnect. Over the cube walls, I could basically hear Hanks' jaw drop, eyes pop when she found out that Colby had never done the first date dance. As in the "get number, call her, pick her up, take her out" dance with a girl that he's just met.

It went a little something like "OMG YOU'VE NEVER BEEN ON A FIRST DATE???!%$^#$#@ RAHHH" and Colby's reply "Well no like ya know, meet a girl and say 'hey listen we're having a party tonight why don't you and your friends stop by...'" and then "OMG YOU'VE NEVER BEEN ON A FIRST DATE??!%%&^(*& RAHHHH"

Miz and I then settled into the respective cubes to take side. Miz sided with his boy Colby, I joined Hanks. Cubicle Cross-fire ensued.

As Miz detailed, oh so elegantly, "In college, you pre-game with your boys and hit the bars and by 1am I'm not asking girls out to a nice dinner I'm seeing who's coming home with me." Both Hanks and I agree that even during college, first dates aren't an abstract concept - we had our fair share. Maybe something to do with standards, maybe something to do with Hanks' no-pony-tail-policy at the bars. This doesn't mean to find the the first blacked-out, crying girl at last call and say you wanna take her out for dinner/movie. It means to take some initiative and use that meal plan of yours to have some one-on-one time to get to know a girl you're into. Admittedly, chilling at a party is a good litmus test , because that way your friends can feel it out for you in case you're word-vomiting all over yourself - both for guys and girls (Colby should now know this from his 'Seal the Deal' tips. We're booking his summer tour). But that routine gets a little creepy circa age forty-something...

Really though, it all depends on if you're looking for a one night 'hit-and-run' or a long term 'forever-kinda-thing'. J-woww, J-Fizz - can I get a fist pump?
