What's the best way to hit on an American Apparel employee?
I will start by saying that asking to take private photographs is one of the worst ways to get a girl, because of the obvious creep factor. Also creepy is the method of asking a sales girl for help repeatedly just to talk to her. Although, a guy once asked my friend where the workout shorts were, and then asked her to model them for him, and they are still dating. For me, I’d like a guy to ask me about something he already wanted to buy and take my advice on a better option. Then we could go for coffee on my break.

What's the best reason to date an American Apparel employee?
As a rule, I feel like most American Apparel employees are pretty physically attractive. But the guys I’ve worked with at American Apparel who have attracted me did so because they had a lot going on outside of work. They only worked there to make rent while pursuing creative projects.

Do you wear American Apparel underwear when you're trying to get laid? Do people think it's cute?
I find that men tend to be turned off by the cuts of the underwear A.A. sells for women. They usually prefer to see the women in the men's styles that A.A. carries.

My girlfriend wants me to pose for some provocative pictures. Should I do it? I'm worried it might come back to haunt me.
Do it! Taking naked pictures is always fun, as long as you trust the person you're with. You have to just realize that most people have a soul and rarely do things to other people that they would never want done to them.

I met this guy on a gay dating website. I really care about him but it seems like he only wants to sleep with me. Should I indulge in the occasional booty-call, or would that mean I don't respect myself?
He probably does just want to sleep with you, but maybe also isn’t opposed to seeing you on a regular basis. Relax and have sex. The more you see each other, the better the chances are he'll start to really care about you.

I really like this guy in my office, but it's hard to find a way to approach him at work. Can I ask him out via email, or is that lame by definition?
Passing inter-office notes is the most fun, flirtatious, and direct form of acceptable office romance. I would even opt for the corny middle-school, check-box system: “Do you like me? Check yes, no, or maybe.”

I just got a girl's phone number and I'm nervous about asking her out. Should I call or text her?
Either is acceptable, but sometimes it’s easier to be witty or smart in writing. If you call, it's always hard to know what the situation is on the other end. I think text messages are always a safe bet.

I found my boyfriend in pictures with a bunch of other girls on a party photographer's website. Should I confront him about it, or play it cool?
Play it cool. Typically, women are more attracted to a guy who is radiating the confidence he gets from dating a great woman. Take it as a compliment; he's dating you for a reason.
