Reason #6: I envy people whose names are sentences. Like this guy on my high school cross country team, his name was Will Bangs. I really envied him for that. (Note: I know your name is not a sentence, nor is mine. I still think my envy of this sort of name is a reason you should go on a date with me.)
Reason #7: I think "early morning" is 8am-10am, "mid-morning" is 10am-12pm, and "late morning" is 12pm-2pm.
Natalie Portman is pregnant and engaged and I never asked her out. Never again . . . never again.
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?

Reasons #6-8 Why You Should Go On A Date With Me, Michelle Obama
Reason #6: I drive a mini-van.
Reason #7: I know a couple trustworthy babysitters.
Reason #8: We care about the same issues. Your husband signed healthcare reform into law; I wrote a letter to my Senator about it. You planted an organic garden on the Whitehouse lawn; I often buy my lunch at Whole Foods.You have an anti-childhood obesity initiative, and I eat every take-and-bake Safeway pizza I can get my hands on to keep those horrible, horrible calories away from the children.

Reasons #5-7 Why You Should Go On A Date With Me, Anna Kendrick
Reason #5: When I was four years-old I donated one dollar (a whole week's allowance!) to PBS during its fundraising drive.
Reason #6: I can recite the best part of the St. Crispian's Day speech. I can also recite the entirety of "There once was a man from Nantucket . . ."
Reason #7: My favorite speeches from any movie are, in no particular order, as follows: the aforementioned St. Crispian's Day speech in the Kenneth Branagh version of Henry V; Timothy Treadwell's "I've always wished I was gay" monologue in Grizzly Man; the Impressive Clergyman's "Mawage" speech in The Princess Bride; and Anne Marie's "What do I want?" speech in Blue Crush. (I'm slightly embarrassed about that last one.)

Reason #7 Why You Should Go On A Date With Me, Regina Spektor
Reason #7: I eat healthy. Despite it being "the busy season" at work, I've only made frozen pizza for dinner three times in the last two weeks.

Reasons #7 And #8 Why You Should Go On A Date With Me, Mila Kunis
Reason #7: I have impeccable taste in music. For example, I am 100% guaranteed to like any song that has handclaps, gunshots, or children singing the chorus.
Reason #8: I ponder life's big questions. Just today I spent several hours pondering whether we are in the golden age of "(Female's Name) and the (Nouns)" band names (Grace Potter and the Nocturnals and Florence and the Machine!), and an additional while wondering if I were a musical instrument which one I would be (results inconclusive).

Reasons #7 And #8 Why You Should Go On A Date With Me, Gabriele Anderson
Reason #7: I once went as Winnie the Pooh for Halloween. When I was 20.
Reason #8: I have amazing self-control. On at least two or three occasions I can think of I didn't eat the last slice of pizza in the box even though I really wanted to.
