"My dating life is getting a little bit confusing&amp;amp;#8212;I really should make flash cards. There is Pete from Miami (who called me an a** clown, charming) and Eastern European Boy, who I&amp;amp;#8217;m not exclusive with, but he still asked me to meet his son. And, as if that&amp;amp;#8217;s not enough to juggle, I decided to take your advice, dear readers, and make plans to go out with my neighbor&amp;amp;#8217;s brother!At first, I thought it was a bad idea&amp;amp;#8212;too many chances for awkward run-ins with his sister should things go sour. But you guys helped convince me otherwise. &amp;amp;#8220;I married my neighbor!&amp;amp;#8221; wrote Someday09, while reader Shaema said that she dated a guy who lived in her building, and they also ended up getting hitched. So I called back Neighbor Bro (as he henceforth shall be known) and accepted his offer for a night out. He was really cool and funny on the phone and suggested getting drinks. But I had something more adventurous in mind: ping-pong! We&amp;amp;#8217;re going to check out the new ping-pong spot, SPiN! But here&amp;amp;#8217;s my question: How competitive should I be? I&amp;amp;#8217;m appallingly competitive, but that&amp;amp;#8217;s not always the best way to be on a first date. &amp;amp;#8220;Whatever you do, don&amp;amp;#8217;t win!&amp;amp;#8221; my grandmother advised. &amp;amp;#8220;Let him feel like a man.&amp;amp;#8221; I don&amp;amp;#8217;t think that will be a problem, considering I&amp;amp;#8217;m awful at ping-pong. He&amp;amp;#8217;s warned me that he&amp;amp;#8217;s pretty competitive too, so I just hope he doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t turn into a raging jerk if I happen to score on him. But hey, if he gets out of line, at least I&amp;amp;#8217;ll have a giant paddle to smack him with! How competitive would you be on this date? Do you like the idea of a ping-pong date? Which of my dudes&amp;amp;#8212;Eastern European Boy, Miami Pete and Neighbor Bro&amp;amp;#8212;do you think has the most staying power?
