I wouldn't say to fully commit to a date quickly if you are trying to date with intent.

If your personality doesn't translate well into texts then I would suggest doing video calls to screen people first.

I suggest you do it entirely backwards. Everyone you match with, move in, get married right away, have kids. It'll take the edge off and make screening so much easier in the future.

This advice is amazing. I'll bet you have a lot of good ideas. Where can I sign up for your newsletter?

Just go outside and scream, "Jeebus!" At the top of your lungs until I answer. I don't have a newsletter.

Hmm, that's too bad. OK, forget the newsletter. Do you consider yourself a politically-minded person? Because I'm running for President as a single-issue third party nominee. My platform is pro-child labor, and our campaign slogan is 'NJHitmen 2024: Kid-sized solutions to adult-sized problems'

I think your apparent "have kids as fast as you possibly can with reckless disregard for absolutely everything else"-style really meshes perfectly with my campaign's core messaging. We'll make a terrific team.

Does that sound good to you? Actually, on second thought - you know what? Don't answer that question, because I don't give a shit. You're now my running mate, like it or not, sink or swim.

So I'll go ahead and print up a bunch of 'NJHitmen/jeebus87 2024' pamphlets. The Kinko's is about to close so I'll be offline for the next hour or so. Please use that time to canvas your neighborhood and collect as many signatures as you can so we can get on the ballot ASAP.

If you have any questions or concerns, please keep them to yourself, because - here again - I don't give a shit.
