What Every Woman Needs to Know Before She Goes On A Date

1. If you don't know him yet, don't get in his car.
Getting into a stranger's car is dangerous. Many terrifying, very serious crimes begin with a woman getting into a car with a man they don't know. The biggest reason: he has complete control over where you end up going as soon as you get in. For the Smallest reason: he may be a seriously bad driver. So do me, and yourself, and your poor mother a favor before you go out Drive yourself and meet him somewhere.

2. Tell someone/leave a note that details everything you know about your date
Classic and Imperative College-Girl Trick. If you're going on a date with someone you've never been out with before (new guy, internet, set up) you must leave a note with the information for someone. Your roommate, your best friend, your dad, ANYONE. Your parents won't come to "find you" in the middle of the night, but if something happens to you, they know where to look. This is a very basic safety precaution that maintains safety and social support.
It is totally normal, and you should be okay with leaving your date's:

• HIS name
• HIS phone number
• address if you have it
• job
• where you're going.
  

3. Load your debit card/stash $20 for cabride outta anywhere
Before you go out for the night, load a bunch of cab companies onto your phone. I have a rule that has never failed me: If you are uncomfortable: bail. You've got nothing to lose.

4. How to fight back
If you ever get into a physical altercation with a dude on a date. If for, whatever reason, he grabs your wrist or touches you in a way you are not comfortable with. Tell him:
(a) "you are not allowed to touch me like that." And if that doesn't work.
(b) grab & squeeze just one testicle, a move that will paralyze homeboy in pain, AND RUN.
*I recommend this because although kneeing is really effective, you can actually miss, I say this because I have missed before*

DC DECISIONS: Should I get with a cast member of the Real World DC?

Before you read this post:
Ugh, before you read this post, you need to understand that the biggest recommendation I can give you is: DO NOT TRY AND GET WITH THE GUYS FROM THE REAL WORLD

Why you shouldn't
(1) DISEASE: They've made out with every intern this side of the Mississippi.
(2) IVY LEAGUE FUTURE: Inevitably you're going to try to go to Harvard, and Harvard does not think that's okay. Mainly because Harvard had big plans with the cute blonde one and you ruined everything.
(3) REINFORCING BAD BEHAVIOR: Look, they're running around DC chewing on anything in seersucker panties. Pull it together and pull 'em up ladies. Just say no.
(4) YOU ARE NOT ALONE: You call it love, they call it Episode 2. It's a manipulation of people just trying to be happy in this city, and it's not fair.
