Even guys can go on Doggy Dates! Don't despair blokes. You too could lead a far more satisfying, less stressful, dating life by simply sticking to dogs.

Here I am at Franks in the East Village for brunch on a hot October Sunday afternoon and an issue comes up on a D Date , who pays? If a cute dog asks you out for brunch, would you not presume that your DDate is hosting the lunch. Yet here is evidence that these D Dates although perfect in so many ways often do not quite have the ready cash to pick up the tab for lunch. Although this cool Franks hunky diner is obviously paying for lunch he looks happy and proud to be on a D Date and not in the slightest bothered by having to cough up. He is obviously a very liberated guy. The way Edgar, as I learned was his name, the bulldog, stares into space in the opposite direction of the bill is his clear and polite way of saying , "This one is on you , baby. I am busy people watching all the East Village freaks."

You can see all the other diners look quite envious that are simply eating with family and friends and not on an It Date with a sexy doggy. One thing is clear when you are on a D DAte you do get a lot of attention from the public.
