I want to know...
Thursday, July 19, 2007
I know, I know, you are patiently waiting for part III of my weekend – but I need to think more about it before I write stuff down.
So instead…you have this:
Today at lunch we were talking about bad dates that we had to endure and the good ones that lasted well over 3 dates. So I compiled a few (5) things that I want like to know about about {you} on a first date.
I want to know:
That you don’t need any sort of substance abuse as a crutch. Ex: illegal drugs, alcohol. You have to be able to hold a conversation over a cup of coffee or water – I don’t care. It should go without saying, but if talking to you is like talking to a statute, I’m going to pass. Also, despite my love of beer and other alcoholic drinks, I’d rather we not get trashed on date one. Because if you can’t make conversation unless you’re two drinks in, then you probably aren’t a good conversationalist. This is why a coffee date is a nice way to start things off. No?
I want to know what gets you going, why you get up in the morning, what excites YOU.
I hate boring people with no lives, no attitude, lazy couch potatoes, no discipline and finally no hobby. Let me know if you play a sports. Hey, how about the Mets? Like ‘em? I know how lame it is to collect coins or stamps these days, but seriously if that’s what makes happy, then I’m excited. There is nothing better to look at when someone gets super excited over something they love. Their whole facial expressions change and its just beautiful.
I want to know what career choice you made and why.
Nothing describes someone’s personality better than what they do. Your career says everything about you. I’ll leave it as that. Pornstar? I like active – social people *cough
I want to know where is your favorite bar or place to hang out.
It’s always good to know going in if we’re socially compatible. Not that we only eat at the same restaurants or get coffee at the same shops, but compatible in the kinds of places we like. I don’t want to go to a dive bar all the time, sometimes, I just want to put on a cute cocktail dress and some heels and be a classy broad (while holding a bud in both hands)
Finally…Its not really something I want to know, but rather something I would like us to have and that is: something we can joke about later.
I want to have a little inside joke and ultimately pull it out whenever I want. Or something I found utterly funny about something that you did and I want to poke fun at. Nothing harsh. But something dorky and cute.
So there…These are my rules for any first dates.
