How to Date an Amateur Videographer

Right now, everyone has a cam phone, and no one’s afraid to use the cam indiscriminately. Facebook photo albums are filled with self-taken photos and videos of winking eyes and pursing lips…

Have you seen the way guys and gals take photos of themselves while walking? They no longer need to ask people how they look in this or that outfit, they simply whip out their cams, and take videos of themselves. You get the idea. Vanity is this generation’s middle name and technology is struggling to keep up with the trend.

Girls, if you’re dating an amateur videographer, how will you handle his propensity for documenting your date activities a.k.a… “immortalizing the moments in film”?

Here are two ways:

1. Project like you’re a fashion model yourself!

If you don’t feel like making a big deal of the whole thing , play his game. Make your movements more fluid … Stand in front of the fan or anywhere there’s WIND, while you’re talking to him so that your hair looks like it’s flowing behind you.

Don’t act natural, don’t act demure… just pretend you’re some Super model on a photo shoot or on a catwalk and give your best performance! You can even turn on the speakers and lip sync to your favorite pussycat dolls track.

2. Wear shades

What if you’re having a bad hair day and you can’t stand your boyfriend’s cutesie requests? This is my personal favorite way to dissuade a camphone-wielding boyfriend.

Wear dark colored glasses to your date, even at night. Get the big ones that cover your whole eye area and half of your cheek. Keep those on wherever he takes you… This way, you can say ‘oh that wasn’t me’ when he shows you his video coverage of your date later on.

Heh.
