No Magic Formula

Conservatives are being taught how to get like-minded dates, apparently, but the advice in the article at TPM feels rather trite and gendered to me.  And you know what also saddens me?  The assumption that there is a "right way" to get with the "right people."

My five cents?  What we really need is to love one another and learn to share that love.  Dating advisers who say, ”How do you make them feel comfortable? You talk about your weaknesses,” are way too simplistic in my mind.  We might make someone feel comfortable by tuning into them, caring how they feel, trying to be ourselves, listening as well as talking...  There are a zillion ways because there are a zillion human beings.

Oh, at least!
