    Poll: How do you start off a first date?

    As a lady, I would not recommend a hug because that would be a violation of as-of-yet undefined personal space. Best smile and use your words to express your excitement. You can go in for a hug at the end if she seems to be comfortable around you.

    Relationship Deal Breakers

    From experience: 1. Dishonesty. I don't care if you sleep with other girls occasionally, just talk to me about it beforehand. 2. Unwilling to meet my family. I've dated guys who've extreme issues with their family, but don't think it gets you out of meeting mine. 3. Debilitating depression...

    What is the last book you finished, and what did you think of it?

    John Updike's The Witches of Eastwick. It was enjoyable. I like male takes on lady-mischief.

    Good space horror movies?

    Try Cargo: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0381940/ Also, when your eyeballs are singed from staring at the screen too long, you might try Richard Russo's Ship of Fools and Mary Doria Russell's The Sparrow.

    A certain scene in Prometheus [MAJOR SPOILERS]

    My (male) friend shoved past me to leave the theater after the scene. Pst, Moral Majority, are you listening? This is a great pro-abstinence PSA!

    Wanting to use DS again, would like some help with games

    Dragon Quest IX is a good one if you like customization, terrible puns and losing several weekends of your life. (Which I do, evidently. A lot.)

    So, my girlfriend is in porn and I don't know what to do.

    Coincidentally, one of my exes texted me last week to ask if I'd ever posed for pornography, because he'd seen a picture on Reddit and thought it was me. He sent me a screencap. It wasn't me, but I could see the resemblance. I don't think she'd be offended, really. There's nothing wrong with...
