Mojito Mail...................Playing the Field?

Dear Mojito,

I have been on a man hunt for the past few months. That said, I have rounded up a few prospects. However, there's a catch--they all know each other in some capacity. Out of the three, two of them work together and two are friends but they all know each other all though none of them are bff's. Is that tacky? Should I leave all three of them alone? Should I pick just one, whoever was first in line? Or should I keep on keeping on? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Don't hate the player hate the game


Dear DHTPHTG,

This is a toughie. If you were a man I would say f it – go out with all three. But the rules are different for girls. Actually – the rules are different for ladies. If you’re not concerned with being thought of as a lady then you can follow the same rules as the boys. I’m not co-signing this double standard, just stating that it does exist. Since we’re going with the game lingo, let’s think of this as Lakers circa I dunno when (whenever the Kobe/Shaq beef was thick!! I’m a girl dammit – I can’t be expected to know the exact dates).

You could pick one. Not the one who was first in line, but the one who you think you have more of a connection with. The one who’s offering more of what you want. If strength & loyalty and character are important to you – keep Shaq. If speed and career longevity (and a penchant for tacky crazy wives) are important to you – go with Kobe.

But there’s a third option. You could pick neither/none/all of them at the same time.

What’s that you say Mojito? How? That’s crazy? Estas loco!! I know that’s what you’re thinking. But here’s how. Keep things extra cool with all of them. No single dates with any of them. Group dates and outings all the time. Not necessarily with the three of them but with other people from your job or whichever circle you know them from. Bottom line – don’t ever be alone with any of these guys. That way you get to know them while keeping your options open and not being bound to any of them. Trust me – ain’t nothing worse than realizing you got saddled with the wrong mufu**a in the click. You will spend the rest of your relationship looking at the other dude like “damm!!” because he WILL be around – especially if he’s friends with the dude you end up with. And you will be pissed. Especially if you pick the wrong one. You done kept Kobe’s ass and let Shaq go and then you gotta watch Shaq go all the way and take that championships ring.

So there you go.

Choose wise, my friend.

XOXO

Mojito Mail.........Is My Man A Freak?

Okay - so I got a question. Here goes.

Dear Mojito,

My boyfriend has a lot to offer on paper and my biological clock is ticking louder than the Times Square Ball Drop clock. However, I've seen a few flags that I'm not certain if they qualify as red or merely yellow/annoying. Recently, we planned for me to stop by his house on my way home from work for dinner. I got there, he seemed surprised that I was a little early. As we walked into the living room he quickly went over to his laptop that was sitting on the table and shut whatever he was working on and unplugged it, then excused himself to take a quick shower. Being the nosy girl that I am, I could see that closing the cover on the computer hadn't turned it off, so I waited a bit and then snuck a peek at what he had been working on....porn. Apparently that was what he was doing in the 20 minutes between him getting home from work and me arriving. What do you think Mojito? Is he a freak or just a guy who needed a little relaxation after work?

Signed,

Am I Dating Eric Benet


Mojito says.........

Well damn! He couldn't wait till you got there or till you left? I mean, really. I wouldn't say he's a freak - well not the creepy kind of freak - but I will say that maybe he has a high sex drive. And that's actually good to know early on in the relationship so you're aware of what you're dealing with and able to decide if you're up for it or not. And just think about this - at least it was just regular porn and not anything involving goats or horses or even worse - little boys and/or girls. Lucky for you - you just have a regular horny man and not a masked bandit aka Kels the pied piper of underaged poon. If this is the only issue and if your biological clock is ticking like a time bomb - I say go on and let super freak have a chance. But if there are other concerns I would leave him to his Mac and keep on looking for that right man without a sticky keyboard.

XOXO
