"First off, huge props and my total congrats to Ryan--he was interviewed for a dating story on cnn.com today! Also, I am so bummed about Drew Barrymore and Justin Long&amp;#x27;s break-up. They seemed really happy! I wonder who broke up with whom. I have a little secret weapon that helps me when a guy stops calling or doesn&amp;#x27;t want to see me anymore. Here&amp;#x27;s how it came about: I told my friend Jen once that a guy had dissed me. She said very matter-of-factly, &amp;quot;Was he a jerk or a nerd?&amp;quot; I laughed! Now, we are not super-judgy people--she was simply being supportive and figured he must be an idiot to let me go. But you know what? Categorizing a dude helps you bury the memory of him. It helped me so much that we decided to build an entire theory around it. The theory states that there are only four types of men: A jerk is a player or bad boy who will break your heart. A nerd is a sweetie who will bore you to tears. A jerky nerd is a dorky guy who has the nerve to act like a jerk to you. (This is the worst of the four.) A nerdy jerk is the best of the bunch--a good-looking, confident guy who has one thing about him that brings him down a notch. Trust me. Every guy fits into ONE category. I put my dad in this one, and he is AWESOME. If Justin ended it with Drew, I would say he is one nice-looking actor who geeks out believably in Mac commercials: a nerdy jerk. And that is the hardest kind to get over. (Best of luck, Drew!!) Which of these four guys do you usually date?
