Woods

That whole funny thing about being at the same bar 2 nights in a row never happened b/c Red Pants cancelled, and has since disappeared.  Which is odd, considering that he came on pretty strong... but, you know, stranger things have happened.  It's probably for the best, too, since I had a few doubts about him and the fact that we are both overly sensitive girls who just want to be pursued.  And did I mention that when I googled him (natch) I discovered that he was lying about his age?  Yeah, he shaved off 6 years (believe me, buddy, we'd all like to do that, but you just can't!) and changed himself from older than me to slightly younger, which is simply not cool.  On to the next!

The next bachelor in question we're going to call Woods, and if you know me, you know why.  Yes, in this Very Special Episode of DBNS, Jane confronts her superficiality and goes on a date with a chubby guy.  (Woods is a code word for overweight, picked up from an old college BF.)  We met for a drink, and while I was expecting maybe "stocky yet attractive" he was 20 lbs.. closer to "oh, that poor guy could be so cute!"   I am embarrassed to admit that when I saw him I kinda wanted to cut and run, but of course I had to make the best of it.  And you know what?  The best of it was kind of... good!  He's pretty cool: former college water polo player/fine artist/musician/worked for a huge rock band for a while/owns his own company/ fun and festive.  The worst part of his bio is that his brother is a pretty well-known (and definitely hot) actor.  (Let's just say they have different body types.)  He also has a kid (who doesn't these days??  But I guess if it doesn't bother the "ladies" of the Bach, who am I to judge?)  Anyway, we had two drinks and some lovely chit chat, and Woods asked me out again during the middle of it.  Of course I had to say yes- there is absolutely no way to to say to say anything else right to someone's face like that.  Then I kept playing a little internal head game, asking myself how this date would be going if he were the same guy, only slimmer.  I think I would have been all over it!  Oh dear.  Will Jane finally learn the error of her ways and put aside physical chemistry in her pursuit of lasting companionship?  Or are things doomed with Woods before they even begin?  Stay tuned...
