Candace/Chelsea: What is this “second date” of which you speak? I’m unfamiliar with this term.

So…hypothetically speaking of course, how long would you typically wait before asking a female on a second date?

Hope you don’t mind–I shared the link to your blog with Jihyei. We’re both thoroughly entertained.

Cheers.

Nice, Rob! Jenni Skeen referred me to this article! But I’m pretty sure that “dating loophole” is two words! And I’d argue it’s actually more of a dating cop-out than a loophole!! :)

I’m pretty sure I have fallen victim to this ploy of yours. Next time I hear the “h” word I’ll know what’s coming.

This hypothetical stuff came in really handy for Jeff before he proposed. I didn’t really catch on until he fessed up. I guess I was too busy thinking in exclamation marks to realize that he was playing it safe. But I have to admit that if the answer to the hypothetical question is no, it’s still awkward!!!!! (How’s that for punctuation of choice?)!!

Excellent application, Kellen. You get a hypothetical gold star.

What if I have a hypothetical friend who hypothetically promised to come visit me in a far away hypothetical land, but then changed his hypothetical mind? Hypothetically speaking, would it be okay to bombard this hypothetical friend’s hypothetical blog with hypothetical comments until he changed his hypothetical mind? Lets hypothetically assume that this situation is in no way actually hypothetical, although hypothetically that would make everything awfully confusing. To me, the only way out of this hypothetical quagmire would be for the writer of the hypothetical blog to send $100 (not hypothetical) to his friend living in the far away hypothetical land. That is the only way to hypothetically (and in reality) save his hypothetical friendship.

Also, there is no part of this situation that is actually hypothetical.
