Back to Basics

Wow, I can't believe it's been 6 months since the last blog!  Much to tell, back will start with the first topic on hand.

I have recently re-released myself into the mad world of dating...ugggh!  Needless to say, I think maybe I should date myself for the next little while, still a little wary of some of the men out there. 

Which leads me to the next topic.  This is for all you men out there, who as romantic, sensitive and in-tune you may seem to think you are, most of you really need a little go-to list on the etiquette of first, second, and if you're lucky, third dates.  Please don't take this too personal, and if you some of you feel the need to retalliate with less than kind words....well you're the one's who really need this list in the first place, plus i'll know you're kind of a loser!

1.  I don't care about this gender confusing era, "who pays for what", attitude.  Buddy this is your first date...YOU PAY, NO QUESTIONS! And if you really want to see that certain someone special again, by no means do you ask her to go "dutch".  If you do so, you have no business being on a date with a female anyway.  Stay home with Mom and watch Deal or No Deal.

2. Never, Ever, Ever, Ever make any deragatory (sp) comments, as subtle as they may be, about a woman's weight.  I've recently lost 25 lbs, but the last jackass i went out with wanted to inform that if I ate breakfast for a week I could easily drop 5 more lbs.  This coming from a guy who had Robin Williams beat in the bodily hair division...dude it's called laser hair removal, and with all that family money you spoke of, you might want to look into it.

3.Do not speak ill of ex-girlfriends, wives, boyfriends or whatever the case may be.  You look ridiculous, angy and just downright pathetic.  If you are asked by your date about previous relationships a simple "it didn't work out", would suffice.  We don't want to hear the gory details of your divorce, or what a heinous bitch you ex wife/girlfriend were, because i'll start to wonder what kinda neat guy you really were. And we also don't want to hear that your ex is a Supermodel/Astrophysicst...cause then WE'LL hate her.

4. Open All doors whenever the opportunity presents itself, make us believe chivalry is not dead, even though it may be.

5. Let it be a two way conversation.  After awhile, or in my case 1.5 hours, we get a little weary of listening to you talk about your totally awesome job, where your assistant is so hot, and how you've always wanted to make it with her on the conference room table and you make boatloads of money...oh then expect to go dutch!  Or your family money, or your beer guzzling buddies.  It's ok to talk about yourself but do it in a somewhat flattering manner, and then in turn, well give us a turn.

So there you have it, that's my list. Gentleman, please take this to heart, that is if you have one. And try to keep a sense of humor.

 Believe me I could go on and on. But I think i'll have to get new material...I have another date on Thursday...Jesus, I'm a masochist!
