Last week Ethan Renoe was out for a run during an unseasonably warm Chicago rain storm. Like he does anytime the temps rise over 40 degrees, he ventured out shirtless. When this got the attention of a local news team he ended up on TV, first telling the reporter that it was "too wet to wear a shirt" and then, looking straight into the camera and making first a peace sign and then a telephone with his hand, he said "I'm single, so give me a shout." After spending twenty minutes on the phone with the Internet famous, shirtless, "100% virgin"—his words, not ours—we were left with a two lingering questions:

One, is abstinence an effective workout strategy? And two, what does 100% virgin mean? Can you be, say, 98.6% virgin? (Spoiler alert: We never found out.)

We did learn that Renoe lives in Denver, Colorado. The shirtless run that made him famous took place during a short visit to Chicago to see friends from Moody Bible Institute, his alma mater. Much has been made of Renoe's thirty seconds of fame, his declaration that he is single, and, unsurprisingly, his religious convictions: He is a practicing Christian who is part of a group that offers "free prayer" to passersby on Chicago streets. Renoe is quick to clarify that his belief system and place is not to judge, but rather to accept everyone and show them love. All told, we were impressed with the dude's gumption, his dedication, and, well, his game. So we asked him for some dating advice.

What's been the general response to your TV appearance and who is responding?

Women have reached out to me from all over the world. I've gotten a handful of marriage proposals, a lot of requests for dates, a lot of people just trying to get to know me a little better, just start a little conversation on the internet like through Facebook or email or something. And I've gotten a lot of good feedback on my blog which means a lot to me.

New Year's Eve is a week away, how should a guy plan his NYE kiss starting right now?

Let's see, I would watch When Harry Met Sally.

Can you explain that a little bit?

At the end of that movie, it's New Year's Eve and Billy Crystal gives one of the best monologues about winning back his best friend who he has fallen in love with. And he confesses his love to her and they end up kissing just after midnight. And it's one of the best love stories of the past two decades.
