How do you tell a guy that he needs to manscape? I was recently reintroduced to a guy that I knew back in DC. I ran into him a music store and I had no idea who he was. He recognized me but couldn’t place me. I told my name to one of the sales girls and he immediately recognized me. We used to do theatre together back in DC…I kinda remembered him then, but not really.

Anyway we exchange info and I invite him out to one of Laura’s shows. Once there, we shamelessly flirt with each other all night. He’s a super nice guy, musician, great smile and balding slightly. Any hair that was on his head has migrated to his chest and even his neck right above his chin…it’….well…gross. I’m otherwise attracted to him but the thought of the hair, ick!

So I asked Laura what she thought. She said the only time I can bring up the whole manscaping thing is if I sleep with him, several times and then “cutely” ask what if. Anyway, I don’t think I’m going to sleep with him. We’ve been out on one date since, he kissed me and I felt…well not nothing, but very little.

So after he kissed me I walked away thinking “it isn’t the hair that made me not really feel anything is it?” I don’t think it was, at least, I hope it’s not. I’m not THAT shallow am I?
