There are lots of ways to ruin a date. Here are a few things NOT to say on a date...
I really don't like this restaurant that much, but I wanted to use this 2-for-1 coupon before it expired.
I refuse to get cable. That's how they keep tabs on you.
I used to come here all the time with my ex.
Could you excuse me? My cat gets lonely if he doesn't hear my voice on the answering machine every hour.
I really feel that I've grown in the past few years. Used to be I wouldn't have given someone like you a second look.
It's been tough, but I've come to accept that most people I date just won't be as smart as I am.
Anyone else???

Sleep's dating tips:

What kind of noises can you make with your posterier?
Whats wrong with not wearing trousers?
If i can't afford it maybe you could?
What do you mean you don't have Guiness Heiniken or Budweiser on the Wine List!
Well my ultimate goal is to actually wash...
If i had a penny for everytime i used the excuse about credit cards not clearing, i might actually be able to afford this meal....
So that disgusting putrid smell isn't you, thats good....
What do you mean waiter when you say my fly is low and i am exposed on all fronts?
What do you mean Dr. Kimble has escaped and he is a fugitive from zipper justice?

Did anyone (in the UK) watch Goodness Gracious Me, that was class in'it.

If only you were thinner we could make a go of it.
I think you should spend more time in the Gym those are definately lumps on your legs, it feels like porridge.
I hope they don't take to long with this food i have to get home to watch the footy.
Will a kebab and a lager do?

What not to say:
"Isn't it your turn to buy?"
"You keep eating like that, you won't fit in your wedding dress."

I don't know, I think quite a lot of us 21st century grrrlz don't mind buying a round... in fact I know girls who get annoyed with a guy who tries to pay for everything all the time

I'll have to move to the UK then. When I dated my wife I went broke. Then we got married, still broke.

LMAO I'm going to get kicked out of this law firm. What does this make now, six monitors?

LOL
That's impressive hypocrisy, Wavy.
First complain that women expect men to pay for everything, then insult women who don't let you pay for everything...

It's a catch 22. Rare is the girl who is both worth the effort
and keen on playing the host on a date.
When the rubber meets the pavement, it's safer to pay a bit extra and not be stuck on a date with someone of questionable sanity (not to mention an achy face

)

Is your housemate around? I want to talk to her. Maybe I can learn something.

All I get is "Some flowers would be nice"

Posted: Mon Jun 11, 2001 10:56 am

LOL Well some women like flowers, some women don't

I think flowers are probably most appreciated when they are unexpected.

And not an obviously perfunctory gift ("uh-oh, I'm going to be in trouble, better pick up some flowers on the way home...")

Ever here the joke about the gf expaining to her friend that she got flowers unexpectedly from her bf?
gf: "I bet now he thinks I am going to spend all weekend with my skirt up and my legs in the air"
friend: "Why, don't you have a vase?"
Rule # 3, here I come
