Lately, I've been doing some dating. I know that dating is supposed to be fun and it mostly is. But sometimes it can be a little frustrating and mind-boggling. After a couple rejections following what seemed like fun/good dates, I would like some feedback (To my overly "helpful" friends: I'm really just saying this, please don't actually give me "constructive criticism." I don't want it). But really, sometimes it doesn't make sense why a boy doesn't call back.

So this is what I propose: If, after a week, a boy doesn't call you back following what seemed like a good date (don't bother with the bad ones, I think it's usually pretty obvious what went wrong with those), send them an "Exit Survey" to get a little feedback on what went wrong. It can look something like this:

I did not call you back because: (check all that apply)

• You are way too hot for me (I'm a 4 and you're a 7)
• You dated my roommate 2 years ago (this one actually happened... whoops)
• I got busy
• I met someone else
• You talk too much
• You don't talk enough
• You're boring
• You had food in your teeth
• You were awkward
• I'm too awkward
• I'm a pussy
• You seemed a little bit like a psycho
• I'm intimidated by your intelligence
• You ordered a gin and tonic
• We do not share similar religious views
• We do not share similar political views
• You ate too much
• You didn't eat enough
• You were a little ditzy
• You went on and on about your ex-boyfriends
• I'm afraid of redheads
• I'm looking for something long-term and you're going away to med school
• I really just wanted to make out and all I got was a hug
• We went straight to the friend zone
• I'm just not that into you
• I'm really into you but got in a terrible accident and have been in the hospital for a week
• I meant to call but haven't had a chance yet
• I'm a big douchebag

The list can go on, but I think you get the point. And please don't think this post is filled with the bitterness of a single 26 year-old woman who has been repeatedly rejected. Because really, it's not. Sometimes, I just think it would be nice to get some answers...
