Default Just say yes . . . .

A woman decides, as a science project, to respond affirmitively to any person who indicated any romantic interest in her at all, resulting in more than 150 dates.

Maria Dahvana Headley grew up listening to the "Just Say No" anti-drug campaign of the 1980s. As a student at New York University in the late '90s, she applied that advice to her love life, turning down most men who asked her out and dating only intellectual, literary types. Frustrated by those guys, she reversed course, resolving to spend one year responding positively to all flirting and saying yes to literally anyone who asked her out. The ensuing 150 dates included a homeless man, several non-English speakers, 10 taxi drivers, two lesbians and a mime.

She's written a book and Hollywood is interested. I'll bet she'll say yes.

She stole this from the girl in Mallrats. Of course, that girl didn't just "go out" with the test subjects.

Kevin Smith should sue.

QR77 had her on their program this afternoon. She sounded like she was a reasonably bright, articulate young woman. Evidently she met her husband on this dating spree, and she stated that the date with the homeless man was better than most dates she'd set up going to so-called singles bars.
