![]() ![]() Jenée Desmond-Harris: This was funny to me because I just recently told you to “stop being a child” and trade your beloved energy drinks for coffee. Read Prudie’s original response to this letter. ![]() Should I tell her why she won’t be hearing from this guy again, so she can reconsider ordering milk on dates in the future? Should I tell him how ridiculous he is for judging someone for something so petty? Now my friend is neither a big drinker nor a teetotaler-just someone who’s going to order what she wants without worrying about what others think. He found this so clueless and childish that he couldn’t imagine being with her. He told me they went to a swanky bar, and she-wait for it-ordered a plain glass of milk. My friend has been bewildered by her difficulty in finding a steady relationship, so I pressed him as to why. On Monday morning, I asked my co-worker, and he said my friend was attractive and a nice person, but he wouldn’t be asking for a second date. Immediately after their date, my friend thought it had gone well and was very excited. I really thought they’d make a great couple. He’s a sharp guy who’s traveled the world and knows all about fine foods, wines, classical music, designer labels, etc., and she’s a stunningly beautiful and intelligent artist. ![]() I (a married woman) just set up a single male co-worker and a single female friend of mine on a blind date. This week Jenée Desmond-Harris discusses her response to “Dairy Disorder” with fellow Slate writer (and also her husband) Joel Anderson. Each week, Prudie discusses a tricky letter with a colleague or friend, just for Slate Plus members. ![]()
