This Summer's Dating Message


Dear Blind Date/First Date Candidates,

a) It isn't funny to mess up my hair, or push my face to the side

b) I don't care if you are "almost" making 500 K in three years, will be driving a Vipe (viper), will own 3 houses, will be a professional biker, etc. I care about the now--

c) The "5-hour dates" are not the way to go on first dates

d) Please don't make comments on how much I eat (ie. "You must have been really hungry! You sure clean house!")

e) If we are on a lunch date, it isn't necessary to walk me to my office door. Even a hug (at the door) in this situation is a bit awkward

f) I don't care that your uncle's, cousin's, brother's friend mowed Greg Ostertag's yard. I might care if it was Corver's

g) Please don't try to show me breathing exercises to warm me up when I am cold

h) Street motor biking accidents you've been in from "racing" are not cool to me. Nor is that impressive. I was raised by a paranoid "safety-minded" father... Sorry

i) Don't try to tutor me on how to bowl (ie- the arm on the side of the waist to show me the movement. This behavior is witnessed with many BYU dates at bowling allies)

j) The "teenage flirting" (when you say mean things and this means you like me) does not work on me

k) It is not normal to find my picture in the ward directory, then text me to go on a date.... Especially when I have never met you

l) When you tell me that you are available from 2-4 on Tuesday, or 3-5 on Wednesday, or 1/2 hour slot on Thursday, it's kind of a bad sign of an awkward date

m) It isn't funny to slam on your breaks and scream really loud, over and over again (to scare me)

n) If you call the number I gave you, and my mother answers, I did this on purpose. If anyone knows my sister Erica, she did this and it back-fired on her---- So funny. My mom thought that she was "hott stuff" having some freshman from BYU-I texting and calling her..

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
IS THIS ASKING TOO MUCH?

Oh my gosh! Amen! haha, Sadly I could totally add to that list, I love it! Into a good meal I had a kid ask if I worked out. (um.. what are you saying?)

What about...I like your eyelashes, they're neat.

Or, loudly whispering, "You look REALLY PRETTY today!"

You and our weird clients are some of my favorite memories of work.

I miss ya!

Ha ha!! I could add to that too! It is great when guys open doors for girls, but it is going a little to far when you open the front door to my house at the end of the date.
