 SPECIAL ISSUES

 

First of all, you look great. Exactly like your picture. Better, even. We're sorry we're a few minutes late — the trains, you know? Oh, who are we kidding. We were in our bathroom obsessively preening. We changed outfits six times. You have no idea how long it took us to get our hair to look this way. Why? Because today, with this special Dating Issue, Hooksexup launches a new section devoted entirely to the pleasures and foibles of modern dating. And if the chemistry is right, we're hoping that this could be the beginning of a long, committed relationship.

Dating, as a concept, has never been so nebulous. Does a night of TiVO'd episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm constitute a legitimate date? Can I dump him because of his facial hair? Is it cheating to wear push-up bras? Why are Gentiles cruising Jdate.com? Am I allowed to be pissed that the guy who took me bowling last Saturday blogged about it? In this issue and in the new section, Hooksexup will tackle these questions with such charm that, if all goes to plan, you'll be pacing your apartment tomorrow, phone in hand, wondering if calling us the day after might seem desperate. (Go ahead and call. We like you.) — Will Doig
