Don’t be jealous
I’m going speed dating tomorrow [Tuesday]. I’ve got to get out there and try to be only 40% Cranky. With that in mind, I will be attempting to follow these 10 important rules, among others:
10. Do Not Pick Your Nose.
9. Smile at the people.
8. Bring an umbrella so you don’t look like a drowned rat when you arrive.
7. Practice saying, “really…how interesting,” in your most neutral voice.
6. Do not glare at the one chick with the plunging neckline and fishnet stockings. Remember–being a ‘ho is not your aspiration.
5. Drink plenty of white wine.
4. Try not to curse.
3. Remember your name.
2. Do not talk politics.
1. If anyone there talks about his dog, assume that it’s a beagle and do NOT show any interest.

Oooh…maybe the unemployed guy will dance for you!! You have my sympathies AND my admiration for doing this.

I think you should wear the t-shirt Lass got you under your clothes. Then, if the evening gets to be too much, you can burst out of your outer layer, just like Superman, and declare yourself cranky!

That’s a great idea…I’ll try to think of myself as Clark Kent,

Smile at people? Damn, I knew I forgot something when I dated last year. Good luck tomorrow night. Like the New York Lottery….you never know.

Well, you seem to have lots of good advice there. Hard to believe that even the dog conversations can let you down, but then again, dating is a bitch. No politics, no cursing, no dogs, what’s left really?
Go get ‘em, 40% !!
