Hey- Do You Wanna Go Out With Me?

On December 27, 2010, Natalie Portman's PR team announced she was engaged to French dancer/choreographer Benjamin Millepied, whom she had met on the set of "Black Swan," which he choreographed and in which he had a small role.

Now, Natalie Portman was supposed to be my wife. She didn't know it, but she was. Needless to say, the news of her pregnancy and engagement was pretty crushing. But rather than let it break me, I decided to steel my will instead. "Never again," I said, "will I let a famous (or even semi-famous) person who I am supposed to marry slip through my fingers without at least giving myself a shot--without at least asking them out." Thus was dudeyoushoulddate.blogspot.com born. You can follow it on Twitter at @DudeUShouldDate. And if, for some strange reason, you want to email me, I can be reached at dudeyoushoulddate@gmail.com. Enjoy?

Reason #10 Why You Should Go On A Date With Me, Katy Perry

Reason #10: I live a short walk from a 24-hour restaurant with really good queso dip.  This will matter a lot if you ever decide to come back to my place after a date--which is to say, of course, that it looks like at this rate it won't ever matter at all.

Reasons #9 And #10 Why You Should Go On A Date With Me, Michelle Obama

Reason #9: I know all the rules to The West Wing Drinking Game.

Reason #10: It would lock up my vote for your husband's 2012 re-election campaign.  And every vote counts!

Reasons #9 And #10 Why You Should Go On A Date With Me, Anna Kendrick

Reason #9: Stupid people don't bother me.  But people whose stupidity makes it harder for me to do my job make me wish that gun laws in this country were even more lax than they already are.  (And this coming from someone who believes that the "A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State" part of the 2nd Ammendment is the most overlooked part of the Bill of Rights.)

Reason #10: I keep my Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies in the freezer because I believe that they, like revenge, are a dish best served cold.

Reason #10 Why You Should Go On A Date With Me, Regina Spektor

Reason #10: I let my morals inform my actions.  For example, after reading enough Michael Pollan, Eric Schlosser, and Jonathan Safran Foer to fill a small library, I was convinced to become a vegetarian--almost.  The only times I betray my conscience on this issue are when I'm really drunk, something with meat in it looks really good, or I'm really craving meat protein.  So, like I said, my morals inform my actions--sometimes, at least.

Reason #10 Why You Should Go On A Date With Me, Mila Kunis

Reason 10: I made an omelette for breakfast this morning.  You know how when you make omelettes they usually fall apart when you flip them and you end up with a scramble instead?  Well mine didn't.  No big deal.

Reason #10 Why You Should Go On A Date With Me, Gabriele Anderson

Reason #10: We have a shared interest in service and civic duty, which you have acted upon by pursuing a Master's degree in Public Policy and I have acted upon by only forgetting to send in my absentee ballot once.
