Okay, but before we take a vow of silence about Eric (who is also on the MySpace, in case you missed him on Nerve or Match) forever, we just have to share these latest tips.

Well, click on past the jump, little ones. But heed our warning: not safe for . . . just not safe. NOT SAFE.

Dating Eric Schaeffer: Reports From The Field

Emily Gould · 01/25/07 01:40PM

Well, we knew it would happen eventually: our best efforts to never post about Eric Schaeffer again have been thwarted. The reason?
