			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I went to a bar in New Jersey after an art opening. When we walked in the door everybody fell silent, turned and stared. I gave me the feeling I might be gay-bashed.</p>
<p>We sat down at a large table and ordered food. I went to the bathroom which was a little crowded, so I backed up against the wall and set off the automatic hand dryer with my butt, startling myself.  This prompted a total stranger to confide in me that she was on a blind date and it was not going well.  She said he lied about his height and was talking about being a metrosexual and all she wanted was a <em>Real Man</em>. She said that she didn’t know what to do.  I asked her if she came to the bathroom hoping there was a window. I gave her a little pep talk and told her that a date is not a hostage situation and that she could leave whenever she wanted.</p>
<p>She said she gave him a chance, ordered a drink and had a conversation with him but now she just wished she was at home watching television. I told her not to order food.</p>
<p>When I left the restaurant she was smoking a cigarette outside. She told me that she worked up the courage to tell him “this isn’t really working for me” and was on her way home. I said, “Congratulations.”</p>
