my blogmate and i suddenly seem to be in the matchmaking business. we set up a girl that we know (and like) with a guy that we don't really know (but we know is hot) with remarkable ease, a deed for which we were rewarded with gossip and cookies.
once the date was made we cornered our friend for some pre-date coaching and discovered 1) we're not the most clueless people around when it comes to rules of engagement, and 2) we're totally promoting hypocracy/double-standardness.
it went like this: first we gave very specific instructions about wearing booty black pants and furry (i.e. touch me) sweater with plunging neck line, smelling good, and having touchable hair. then we not so gently pointed out to her that video rental is generally recognized as a thinly veiled suggestion of, at very least, high-school like make-out session, if not groping and other activities more scandalous, and that no self-respecting girl would agree to first date movie watching on any couch of any kind.
first of all, doesn't EVERYONE know what "hey, let's rent a movie," means??? seriously- i know what it means and we all know how booming my love life is. as an aside, i should point out that video rental is a perfectly respectable way to address mutual wantingintotheotherspants-ness when you've already been on several dates, or when it's just not going to go the way of traditional dating.
then there's the question of why i would get her all hooched-up so that he wants to jump her bones but also prep her for the "hey, i'm not that kind of girl" talk. so much for progress.
