Does Dating Need a Purpose?
Today I read about a barbershop in the East Village that serves drinks as they shear. What an odd bit of multi-tasking. The reporter covering the story complained about wisps of hair and shaving cream falling into his martini, and how each time he wanted a sip, he had to ask the barber to STOP. I ask you, isn’t cocktail hour good enough to stand on its own? Along the same lines, I’ve learned about Dating for a Cause, which allows you to speed date at the same time that you’re repairing the world. If that sounds appealing, and you’re near Chinatown in NYC tomorrow afternoon, stop by for a 5 minute stroll around Columbus park with someone new (for a $10 donation to the American Cancer Society), and then both of you can decide afterwards if there’s enough interest for a second round. On the other hand, you might just want to curl up with a good book.
