Recently I began dating a girl here in Manhattan. Honestly, it's going pretty well. She plays soccer with me in Central Park every Saturday morning and doesn't give me a hard time about not shaving or watching Sportscenter every day. She even laughs at my jokes.
But here's the thing; I feel I need to be absolutely sure that she is the girl I should be taking on dates to the talking pictures and sidewalk café's. How do I know that she is really "here for me?" Even though we get along, how am I going to be sure she is the one I should be dating.
I wasn't sure where to turn for advice, so I went to the warm, cozy place that has helped me through so many conundrums in my life; television. The telly has helped me learn how to survive in the wilderness, avoid shark attacks and build explosive devices using household chemicals. Surely TV, with all it's success in determining healthy relationships, would be able to guide me through this quandary.
I grabbed a yellow legal pad to take diligent notes, tuned into VH1, MTV and the major networks and prepared myself to learn what is course of action I should pursue.
