Dating can be tough. You have to look nice, be funny, talk about things that interest you, but not talk too much. Or you can take a wholly different approach, and just be like this guy.

Overheard of the Week

On from the D2 bus to Glover Park:

Two nerdy early-20s Hill staffer guys are talking.

Guy #1: “I have a coupon to eHarmony.com. I think I’m going to do it, but just because I have the coupon.”
Guy #2. “You can’t waste a coupon. How was your date on Saturday?”
Guy #1: “I thought it went well, but in the end I just got the friend-hug goodnight. I even used my best move!”
Guy #2: “What’s that?”
Guy #1: “I bought a copy of Street Sense. She was so impressed when I told her that I like to help the homeless help themselves by supporting D.C.’s only newspaper written by the homeless.”
Guy #2: “Oh man, that is so classy, I’m totally using that!”

After the jump, the L’Enfant plan, kids being kids, and Mickey D’s.
