Alex Karpovsky plays Ray, the cynical guy on our beloved Girls, but you might also recognize him as the mooch from another Lena Dunham joint, Tiny Furniture. Anyway, please allow him to guide you in the dubious prospect of staying friends with an ex and spying on your BF.

LOVE THIS!!
Log in to replyI’m not sure how much I agree with his answer to the first question! I wonder if he misunderstood the question. Or if I did. It seemed to me that he though ‘A’ is somewhat naive and not actually in a relationship with him.
I was on that dick-ish side of a relationship once; I was embarrassed to call my boyfriend my boyfriend. THAT IS A WARNING SIGN. I should’ve left, but I stayed in case it got better.
Being embarrassed to call the one you love your boyfriend/girlfriend/whateverfriend isn’t a good thing. I wouldn’t wait around and try change things, and I most definitely wouldn’t avoid confronting him about!
Just my two cents. Thoughts?
Anywho, THANKS for getting Alex Karpovsky in on this one. He is way too friggin adorable.
Log in to replyYES!!! PERFECT!! ALEX HAS TO ANSWER MORE OF OUR CURIOUS QUESTIONS!!
Log in to replyhahahaha I love how long he went on with the nanny cam joke
Log in to replythe video is private :/
Log in to replyIt shouldn’t be — I think there is something weird going on with Vimeo, because this happened w/ the last one too.
Log in to replyAh! I’m so excited to see this (once it gets off private.)
Log in to replyI randomly saw him at the Traverse City Film Festival and just sat there in awe of his beauty.
I haven’t even watched the video yet but, I’m so glad to see that Alex Karpovsky is getting his time to shine.
Last summer, I took the liberty of going down his imdb list and watching everything he’s in–even the tiny roles.
Thanks Rookie! <3

HE MADE A PULP FICTION REFERENCE! WHATT?
Log in to replycool like Fonzi like a pro
It says that it’s a private video and that i have to log in to Vimeo?
Log in to replyWhat is next month’s theme??!!
Log in to replyAnyone?
Hey A, I think your non-boyfriend boyfriend has the potential to be a total waaaanghead and you should probably distance yourself from this dude RIGHT AWAY! While he is entitled to not want to be in committed relationships, or partake in ‘open’ ones, it doesn’t sound like you’re really looking for the same things he is and trying tie down this big lovin’ boy will most likely end in miserableness on your side. Good luck for future beaus, A!
Log in to replyOMG is your name a Friends reference?
Log in to replyYes, in memory of Crap Bag and Princess Consuela (R.I.P).
Log in to replyI LOVE YOU ALEX (OR MR KARPOVSKY WHATEVER) YOUR ANSWERS ARE THE BEST YOU HAVE THE PERFECT SENSE OF HUMOR AND YOU SEEM TO JUST KNOW ABOUT EVERYTHING COOL AND YOU ARE PROBABLY MY FAVORITE MALE GIRLS CHARACTER
Log in to replyGinobs!!! Great video man, miss you on the BSC basketball court.
Log in to replyI’m not even a teenager anymore, but I love this segment. The guys are hilarious and so, completely sweet and reassuring. I sort of wish this had been around a few years back!
