Dating David Spade
David Spade hit the junket circuit last week, hot on the heels of The Showbiz Show's return and the mid-season success of Rules of Engagement. Along the way he gave a surprisingly revealing interview to that paragon of investigative interviewing, USA Today. In Spade's Rules of Engagement (Get it? The title of the article references the title of his show! Zow!) he admitted to daddy urges and dished out some dating tips.
Say what you will, he's the greatest sub-5' 8" lothario of our generation (YOU try bedding Heather Locklear and Kristy Swanson with your mere "Axe Effect") A few pointers from the piece:
On breaking up when you know you're not that into her: "A real direct text message — not even face to face . . . Like ripping a scab off, you have to say, 'Not my type, not working,' whatever. Because it's much harder to have it fade off into oblivion by not calling back, making excuses or lying."
On keeping yourself up on young Hollywood topics to converse with younger women: "I can't even pretend to be the hip guy who knows what's going on . . . I just make fun of it. When Bob Seger came to town I said, 'It's basically Fall Out Boy,' and they're like, 'Ohhh, good!' "
You'll notice that "feathering your hair" and "consistently talking out of the side of your mouth" were not included on his tip sheet. Scram kid, Dave's working that side of the street.
By the way, you can read David's own blog posts here. We hear Spade spends a lot of time on the Interwebs.
