teh 100th posting!

Claire is famous on teh internets!!!!!

What's a good technique for approaching an attractive stranger on the street?
Ask them where they got that sweatshirt/book/tattoo, and if the store where they got it is near their neighborhood, and then what their favorite spot is over there. Then post a Missed Connection.

I'm shy. How can I seem more gregarious and less withdrawn when speaking with someone I have a crush on?
I live by at least two or three cliché mottos involving regret: It's better to regret something you did than something you didn't do; do something everyday that scares you; it is better to have loved and lost . . . you get the picture. You really have nothing to lose. Realize that your crush is a normal person. It's like meeting celebrities — just be natural and don't freak out.

Can I give a fake phone number to someone if they ask me for mine but I don't want them to have it?
Absolutely. I once read that Marilyn Monroe would give people the number to the L.A. County morgue. I don't know if it's true, but I would do that in a heartbeat.

I just moved to a new city. How can I find a date without anyone to go out to the bars with?
Never underestimate going to the bar alone. Try the bathroom line for same-sex future wingmen. And "I just moved here" is gold — people are always happy to show off their city.

My boyfriend wants to have sex every night, but I'm more of a once-a-week girl. Can we reconcile this, or are we doomed?
You have to meet in the middle, or he might start looking elsewhere for his kicks. Film yourself jilling off for him to watch when you're not in the mood. I bet you won't be able to ignore him for long.

What phrase should one never include in an online ad?
"Long walks on the beach" as a form of irony is about as annoying as that guy at the Lightning Bolt show screaming, "FREE BIRD!"
