Perhaps you can look back to your childhood, and take some helpful lessons about dating from these Disney Princesses. Or not.

After the SAG Awards, Hathaway noted that she “met a lot of bad ones” prior to being with Shulman. The matchmaking sounded fun — who wouldn’t want Anne Hathaway trying to set them up with some random entertaining friend of hers? — but when I read this story, I mostly thought about how frustrating it is to experience numerous unpleasant folks in your dating escapades while searching (both actively or passively) for somebody who doesn’t suck.

Whatever you do, don’t make eye contact. Eye contact is death.
Picture the two of you together doing something innocuous. Just as a test. Mowing the lawn together, maybe. Holding hands in your dream kitchen. Tearfully putting down an old and beloved dog the two of you adopted together. Just as a test. How’s it look? It looks good, doesn’t it?
