I once had a friend who evaluated guys by their gentleman factor. "All guys are gross," she would reason, "but a gentleman doesn't flaunt that grossness in front of you." Smushed down Andy Samberg is a gentleman. He comes across as smart and kind and genuine and measured--someone who would plan and take the time to find out more about you. See: after our initial emails about whether or not he'd be interested in meeting Betti, he followed up and asked me for some a few facts about her so that they would have some introductory topics to talk about. He's a client at my business, so I've had the pleasure of seeing him and making small talk over the past year or so and recently ran into him outside of work and had such a good time with him that I thought, "Man, this guy is so nice and smart and an actual, functioning adult. He should be dating someone I know." He would seemingly be a good date for one of my friends AND I could keep him in my social circle! Everybody wins! I thought of Betti as a potential match for him because they're both very knowledgeable about current events in a non-DC-snobby kind of a way, they're both thoughtful, they're both more athletic than I am, and neither of them owns a teevee, which I find equally admirable and mind-boggling. So here's to hoping that these two really down-to-earth, thoughtful, smart, lovely people hit it off. Fingers crossed!
