Classic DC Types according to the great Gender-loving-indiaphile

1. The Canceler: Enthusiastically makes plans and coordinates an entire group... and then cancels. 2. You Tube Bed Potato: Leave the office to go back to Dupont Circle studio apartment to watch youtube videos of cats. 3. Canceler of Convenience: 'It's raining? It's cold? It's snowing? Can't make it.' 4. Two day texter: Intense texting for two days... then flatline - nothing. 5. Dr. Jekyl/Ms. Hyde (pending better title): Hard core/enthusiastic at a group happy hour and then you meet them separately and they have the personality of a dead salmon. 6. [Insert country name here]phile - e.g. Indiaphile, Iranphile, etc. 7. "I'm not DC" with all the 'DC' characteristics 8. The Committed Flirt - Flirts like crazy... and then later tells you they're in a committed relationship. 9. The depressed divorcee - Late 30's/40s divorced and desperate. 10. The FOB 11. The Networker - ambiguous coffee (i.e. "Let's get coffee sometime... this is a busy week for me... maybe next week.") 12. Distorted Looking Glass - counter to the ugly duckling.
