Gentlemen

In the past few months, I've seen my friends go through some unexpected break-ups and struggle with the disappointment. I've watched friends desire men who don't respond positively to their affections, and then take it way too personally. I've listened to the woes of girls who have been through a string of dates that go nowhere. And the generic, bitter catch phrase that ultimately gets uttered throughout these feminine tribulations is, 'Men Suck!'

Luckily for me, I've made the acquaintance of several charming DC area gentlemen who, in fact, don't suck. And I now feel it's my duty to spread the word. If you're feeling frustrated, take a deep breath, shrug your shoulders, go for a quick jog, and then re-group. Fresh slate. I promise, there are good men out there. Gentlemen who call you when they say they will, open your door, say thank you when you do something nice, and bring you strawberry ice cream 'just because.'

Happy searching, and whatever you do, don't settle. You don't have to.
