LETTER: Rejection is a part of dating

To the editor:

    I’m writing to clarify a few points in the otherwise well-written and extremely insightful opinion piece “To the single ladies of Logan.” I’m sure that in rushing the Monday newspaper went to print, the author forgot to include a few points.

    After all, he must not have learned the lesson the rest of us learned in high school: rejection is a part of dating. Maybe the author would do better to focus on the one constant variable in all of his failed relationships – himself – and less on the enormous perceived defects in everyone else. And I’m sure he’s tired of taking the initiative in dating; after all, any reasonable guy would surely be exhausted after planning and inviting a girl to three consecutive dates. Wow.

    And by the use of fabulous phrases like “lying with,” “psycho witch,” and “It looks like you’ve been mixing all of your food groups with Tollhouse cookie dough,” I can tell he must have a ton of success with the ladies. I’m sure all girls are eager to drop their plans and rearrange their schedules to go out with him. But just a humble suggestion: insults and names won’t get tou anywhere, so man up, because you just sound sad and bitter.
