Reader Feedback on "Weird Date: The Homeless Guy"
Great essay Jami. It made me think of my recent move from Indianapolis to San Francisco. I'm a little surprised by the ubiquity of homeless people in SF. Not so much the mentally ill; but the seemingly normal, average people who sleep in the park on occassion and couch surf well into their thirties, with little motivation to find stable housing or work. There's a whole different attitude towards hygiene out here too. Showering is optional. And it's not uncommon to meet really bright, capable people with college degrees, who are also missing teeth. I find it a little odd.
just an observation.

It's not like anyone else is using the closet," he said.
"My clothes are," I slurred. "My clothes live there. They live there." His hair was mussed. Were there pointed ears under there? "You have to go." I got up and opened the door. "Right now," I said.
LOL! The F&L Date. This is a really fun read. Too much rain in the northwest for me. To this day I've never been in an internet cafe. They are stellathy anyway, I can't find them. I've tried to approach women in coffee shops, mostly the employees for some reason, which is moot, they are too used to it. Especially if one is working for tips. Some slick chicks out there I've observed. I don't wnat to admit this, but the line where you say "seeing yourself in someone else yada yah, well, this fellow was me about eight years ago. "You mean I can't use you for sex? The next logical step is to, well, sleep in your closet!" This was my train of thought for a good number of years. This "peice" (I'm a New York Arteest) reinforces for me why I enjoy dating so much. Statistically, we're just not going to find anyone! LOL! Which gives weight to internet dating. At least there is a degree of initial compatibility going in. SOrt of.
