Emily, I would love to be able to tell you how to mix chronicling D.C. with your personal life, but my only D.C. dating experience never came to pass. It does involve, however, one of the more hilarious e-mails I've ever received.

The brief background: I joined J-Date after I returned from a sojourn in Europe to Baltimore and realized I could no longer swan around in cafes, acquiring passionate Spaniards. I got this e-mail the day of a proposed meeting.

There are so many things to treasure about this story -- how we'd never clapped eyes on each other; his sharing of "deep thoughts" -- but my main question is: Ladies, is this how D.C. does it? Because I thought only politicians used the White House for sex.

Hey Lizzie, I have to get something off my chest here, which is that I've been doing some thinking, and I've concluded that I'm not interested in pursuing a serious relationship. Since we've never met, I hope you won't take this personally. It's just that I've reaffirmed my demographic dealbreakers. I'm really looking for a someone who lives within 5 miles of the White House (ten miles at the most), who's younger than I am, who's tall and has a serious addiction to strenuous outdoor recreation.

Anyway, I realize this is horribly awkward, and that you might well think I'm a jerk for saying this. I'm sorry if that's so. I just feel the need to be honest about my own expectations. I hate it when people bull--- around about such things. I'm totally happy to meet thursday as planned -- you seem like a delightful and original character -- but I totally understand if you don't want to.

Anyway, regardless of what you want to do about thursday etc, I wish you the best of luck in your multistate manhunt, as well as your other endeavors.

Sincerely, [Redacted]

Let's hope the lucky lady had the heart to tell him D.C. is not a state.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
