		<description>Hey, 

My friend forwarded me your blog, saying we should connect. I am a screenwriter and film director and I&#039;m doing a film about a food critic who seeks romantic gratification through food to compensate for being romantically challenged. 

I also used to write a dating blog (website attached). 

Look forward to reading your posts!</description>

		<description>ok. i laughed my ass off. that was very very good. so. try this theory out for situational boyfriend (just dont ninja me if you dont buy it). 
you are seeking a guy who is emotionally available in bits &amp; pieces (parts &amp; pieces .. whatever ..). what i mean is a guy who loves the idea of a long term relationship but doesnt want one. so he collects long term relationship moments each time together. he puts the stool together like he wants it to last forever and not just something he has to do but doesnt offer to do more chores (instead wants a beer). he parks the car cause he knows you trust him with the keys but doesnt hesitate to give you the keys right back. he makes love like he is in love forever but  will be right out the next morning to play hoops with the guys. he gives you all the focus of a long term relationship in the moment but not focused on you when apart. (and every once in awhile you can catch him in a non-you-focused moment if you call him out of the blue and it may catch you a little off guard). the tricky part about this kind of situational boyfriend (although you got it pretty good when you are together doing whatever) is you cannot tell when he collects that &quot;last piece&quot; that tips him over to &quot;ok, i am ready for a long term relationship.&quot; or the opposite side in that he never has enough pieces to start a long term relationship. there you go. try that idea out ninja girl.</description>
