viral contesting…

Recently I saw an advertisement for a movie contest. The gist of the contest was that you make a two minute video of your proposed project and the winners would get a camera to shoot their movie with. I was super excited about it, not only because I had the perfect idea for a movie but also because I love the idea of limiting yourself to one piece of gear, like a small SLR camera, to shoot your whole movie with. Quite honestly, with limitless possibilities I get limitlessly confused. …

“…and I’m not talking about the fruity cocktail…”

Soooo, while I was in the Hamptons (and nursing a broken heart), I meet this super cute, sweet, smart guy at a swank restaurant/bar. He is way younger than I am, and curious about my age (because my friend keeps chiding him and his friend about how young they are). Turns out he’s 11 years younger than I am, but I dismiss his questions with “a proper gentleman would never ask a lady how old she is.” We talked and flirted for hours and then, my friend invites him and …

girlfriend-material world…

Hey Ape,
To make a long story short, I tried to make out with a friend with whom I have pretty strong sexual chemistry, and got shut down because he said he views me as girlfriend material, but isn’t in a position to have a girlfriend right now and doesn’t want to fuck things up in the meantime.
So give it to me straight, as nice as this sounds, it’s still just a rejection, right?
Aw baby, you’re girlfriend material. That sucks. Not what he said, but, I dunno. I think i’d rather …

it’s not me, it’s you…

Apey,
What’s the proper response to “We should hang out sometime…” when
A. No, you shouldn’t hang out.
B. Saying A sounds mean.
C. You don’t want to lie.
The truth is, I’m not busy, I don’t have a boyfriend, and I like
hanging out, but I just don’t want to do it with this guy. I guess
I’m confused because it’s not even a question, it’s a statement. How
does one respond to it?
Thanks,
Yes But Not With You
Now here’s a good question, as we all might know that I love to …
