introducing project date-our-flatmate! | joanna

Project date-our-flatmate unofficially began before Ash went to Baghdad, when he and I took it upon ourselves to post a match.com profile for our dear friend and roommate Alex. Though our devilishly humorous answers severly mitigated Alex’s chances of receiving any responses, it became strikingly clear that were Ash and I to fill the form out honestly rather than merely in an effort to amuse ourselves, success wasn’t just likely, it was inevitable.

But what exactly constitutes a successful outcome of project date-our-flatmate? Depends on who you ask. Ash, goal-oriented man that he is, has, um, goal-oriented masculine ideas about successful outcome(s). He is also a big fan of theSpark’s date my sister project. Though I share his enthusiasm for the website we are clearly ripping off, I will define success as Alex dating an array of women before his deeply-ingrained propensity for serial monogamy propels him into another long-term relationship.

Since Ash is still working in Bags, I will be at the helm of the project during its initial phases. Alex is fully aware of the endeavor, and is a willing, if cringing, participant.

Okay, fine, I got him drunk and he said yes.

Our methodology for this fetal stage will operate on two fronts: acoustic and electric. The acoustic efforts will probably manifest themselves in the form of pointing out hot chicks at parties, bars and other places; the electric will consist of sincerely filling out profiles on various personals websites. Alex already has a friendster page.
