A few minutes after we met she grabs my arm and says, “Tell me, exactly
what do you do?!” After I tell her, she replies, “Oh good, you can take care
of yourself. You see, I’m going to be a lawyer and I’m sick of guys expecting
me to pay their way through life and take care of them!” Later, when I tried to
pick up the tab, she insisted we split the $20 check and pulled out a credit card.
Sensing my confusion, Ms. Future Lawyer says, “I’ll put $10 on my credit card
and you’ll pay $10 cash. My father pays my bills and paying for your drink will
mess up the accounting!”

I had a date who was drunk when I picked her up! Then she "fell asleep"
(passed out!) on the drive home after dinner. She told me she was nervous
and didn't really drink that much. I gave her the benefit of the doubt. Later I
took her to a BBQ. Guess what? Drunk again. After that I did "run for the hills!"
I also run when I'm on a first date and she talks about "us" moving in or getting
married.

Fishing with your fingers in the nachos for the last cheese-covered tortilla chip
Providing too much information about an undeserving ex-boyfriend
Talking and not listening
Ordering a $38 foie gras appetizer and sending it back because it "just didn't taste right"
Mentioning twice during the first five minutes of the conversation that you got your MBA from Stanford
Declining to order dessert and then eating all of mine
Chain smoking (didn't your profile say non-smoker?)
Nick-naming me Joshie Poshie and speaking in baby-talk
Forgetting to turn off your cell phone and repeatedly answering it
Showing up a half-hour late and then, as we peruse the menu, confessing that you are actually five years older than your profile says

There’s no need to impress a woman strictly with talk of material possessions.
I went out with a guy who stroke his car lovingly and said: ‘’so baby, what do you
think of my other baby’?"

The biggest faux pas is not to check political affiliation, if he or she is passionate
about that. I went on a date with a man who thought that any Jew who didn't love
Bush and voted for him should be excommunicated. He hated me two minutes into the
conversation. What a shame - if he were a mute, he’d have been a great catch!
