- Best pick-up line at a bar/concert/etc.: “hey!” (with a smile)
- 2nd best pick-up line: “Excuse me, but can I ask you a question?” (looking concerned)
- Worst pick-up line: “please?” (crying)
- A Pinto with an all-leather interior still looks like shit from the outside. It’s what’s on the inside that matters, but it doesn’t hurt to learn how to dress half-decently and groom yourself.
- Play it cool. Emailing/phoning/texting every day for a week after the first date does not equal playing it cool. Apparently, it’s “weird”.
- Farting is always, ALWAYS funny.
- A first date is like a job interview. Dress in a conservative but expensive suit, tie, and loafers. This advice applies to women and men equally.
- Being rejected is always terrible, no matter how old you get.
- “Oh, you have a boyfriend? Could we have brought that up three hours ago?”
- The vast majority of first dates go nowhere….it’s a numbers game. Or, you know…you could always start a relationship with somebody you already like.

I enjoyed reading this! #3 made me laugh! I can’t tell if you were joking about #6 because I personally find it hilarious but I can think of a few girls that would not be impressed. Ha! Oh! & I also like how your picture is Kermit. =)
Thanks Cindy! I’m sure girls won’t be impressed. But it’s true.
