Wanted: Wedding arm candy

I got a call the other day from an old friend letting me know he's getting hitched this summer, and that I need to leave the date open. He's been engaged for a while now, so this wasn't a big surprise, but I didn't know the day would be here so soon. This means I've got less than two months to find a suitable date to go with me, or look like the biggest loser on the planet Earth by going alone.

I spent this last weekend making a list of every guy I know, and realized only after writing it that all the men in my life are either related to me, married, or gay. When did this happen? I remember a time when there were nice, single guys hanging around here and there... where did they all go?

Did they all get married? Move away? Or did they all start dating each other? What?

If anyone has any clues, please let me know. I've got six weeks.

Why does your date have to be a man??? Why not go with your best girlfriend and scope out all the hot single guys that might be attending... That's how I met my husband.

I'd volunteer, but I live too far from the Cleveland area, not far from where the ivory-billed woodpecker was found again.

Liz, the reason I'm looking for a male date is because I don't want to look like a loser. I know, I know... this ego problem is immature. I just want everyone to falsely believe that I'm blissfully happy in a relationship with a Brad Pitt look-a-like.

Kid, he doesn't know they're gay, so I'm seriously considering bribing one of them to go with me. And I would sooo take you if you lived here! We could make fun of everyong with mullets together.

Steph, not funny.
