I truly believe than when Kim's tablemate took that phone call, Kim immediately called someone so she wasn't sitting there looking unimportant. This might be obscure, but does anyone remember in Natl. Lampoons Christmas Vacation, when Chevy's boss Mr. Shirley picked up his phone and demanded of his secretary, "Get me somebody. Anybody. And get me somebody while I'm waiting."? That's what I immediately thought of when I saw this photo.

i have seen the millionaire matchmaker show only once. i promptly changed the channel when patti said that women should stay feminine, and should have long flowy hair because that's what men like. she also said that men should be in charge during a first date (i.e order for the lady, open doors, etc.)

@teenypanini09: Yep. The only piece of this show I ever saw had her interviewing women, and she spent about ten minutes harping on this one lady because she introduced herself as "Dr." Her reasoning was that it would make her seem too smart, and therefore undesirable.

And then a giant "?" appeared over my head, and I shut the TV and went to read a book.

@teenypanini09:

yeah I can't watch that show - it's a real slap in the face to single women. I am no longer single but I just find her tips offensive and when she tells girls to lose 10lbs and then come back and see her.

Patti, is just a legalized pimp!

@cupscake: I think it's only a "slap in the face" to single women who are looking for a millionaire.

I hate to say it, but I would be really excited about my TV life (shut up), if Kim went on Millionaire Matchmaker.

Do you think they're talking to each other on their cell phones? I do.

Maybe Patti is trying to hook her up with an unmarried man.

@mipsy6: I think you're right, and the stupid little faux picket fence is the giveaway. It takes exactly one trip to the Ivy to realize that any celeb photographed there has zero claim to privacy. The food isn't good enough to justify any non-PR visits.

Patti once said "women fall in love over the phone" and it finally solidified what I'd been feeling silly about. My ex doesn't like the phone much and we couldn't see eachother constantly and talked a lot over AIM. Something felt like it was missing, because every time we DID talk on the phone, I felt myself falling for him more and more. Anyways, I really liked that she put it into words.

I agree with Emily Gould that people simultaneously want love to be this mysterious, force-of-nature thing as well as its exact opposite- something that you can generate almost like a mathematical formula, which is why self-help books and matchmakers stay in businesss.

But as a mother of a toddler, DUDE. Four years and a kid is "up and running"? By that logic, my son has two years left until he gets a job and moves out. Sorry, kid. Take your blankie and get the hell out...

Did anyone else find the part where Emily writes about her grandparents to be very moving? They sound like mine, sorta - especially the "going to Wendy's and treating it like a lark" business, except mine go to Friendly's. Emily's SUCH a fantastic writer, I've always been a huge fan of hers.

It's ok, Anna N., I can tell you what to do. If you find someone you like enough to hang around with exclusively, and they feel the same, and you find yourself thinking things like "I can totally see myself on a porch swing with this person in 40 years" - you might consider a more permanent "hookup."

If it turns out to be shit, in 3, 4, or the once-popular 7yr itch mark... consider where it all stands on the porch-swing meter.

Sometimes, it's just not worth it. Sometimes, it's easier to go ahead and hate the asshole for a year or two, until you kind of like them again, starting over your 3/4/7 year clock. Sometimes, it's just easier to muddle through the best you can, whichever way you, or your heart, turns.

The trick is making sure you don't do anything that makes you hate *yourself* in this process. Because it's a shitload easier to be forgiven than it is to forgive yourself.
