Just A Dude . . . A Dude You Should Date: reason #9

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

Reason #9: I own the complete Blue Planet and Planet Earth series on DVD. This might not matter much early on in our relationship, but it's pretty much perfect for dates three-through-five--you know, the ones where you're still in the honey moon phase and have decided you just want to make dinner at one of your apartments, split a six-pack of St. Pauli Girl, and cuddle under a blanket on the couch. These DVDs give us a perfect excuse to do that.

Reason #9 Why You Should Go On A Date With Me, Mila Kunis

Reason 9: Predictability is important, and I'm highly predictable. You will always be able to count on my behavior being erratic. And usually offensive, too (as I'm sure you can tell, because, you know, I have this blog).
