Why Dating is Hard

Some women are really good at being demanding and getting what they want; this appears to work in their favor when it comes to the dating game.  I, however, suck at it, apparently.  I don't like to demand... I guess I expect people to read my mind, which makes it worse. While I could be pretty easy-going, which is typically only applicable when my basic needs [humor, education, laughter, fit, food, booze, genuine... which is a gray area] are met, there are some definite deal-breakers that exist.

Here is a brief list, compiled by Amara and I:

•  if he orders take out and picks up a bottle of wine and its yellowtail. done. next. 

• if he lists "Yes, Dear" or "Two and a Half Men" as favorite shows. done. next.

• if we go to a casino together and play blackjack and he hits on a 13 when the dealer is showing a 5. done. next.

• if he thinks chicken parm is real Italian food. done. next. 

• has nicer eyebrows than me. done. next.

• if he orders Hennessy at 2pm. done. next.

• if his choice beer is Corona. or Bud Light. or Coors Light. or Shock Top. done. next.

• his last name is "Patel". done. next.

• if chicken is their favorite type of meat. done. next. 

• if they talk with their mouth full or chew with their mouth open [and poor table manners in general]. done. next.

• if he is unable to compose a word earning greater than 9 points in Words with Friends. done. next.

• if he draws unnecessary, inappropriate, sexually explicit images in Draw Something. done. next.

• if they assume Sri Lanka is an extension of India. done. next.

• if he uses the word "hot" as a compliment. this can also be extended to include banter consisting primarily of uni-syllabic words. done. next. 

• if he txts lyk dis. done. next.

• if he orders a bottle of wine and basically shares it with himself. then cannot drive me home [you'd think that would be a no-brainer, but it obviously happened to me]. done. next.

• texting to say they are outside instead of coming to the door, like a man. done. next.

• if they consider The Olive Garden a restaurant. done. next.  

and on that note, I'm done. Next.
