Dating Doublespeak

Things you might hear from a date at the end of the evening when they know they’re not planning on ever seeing you again.

* “Good luck with…”
* “I’ll call you.”
* “Hey, keep in touch!”
* “What was your roommates name again?”
* “My psychic thinks I shouldn’t be in a relationship right now.”
* “Now you take care!”
* “Um… it’s been real.”
* “I’ll see you around.”
* “Bye !”
* “Okay…. later”
* “I hope you find what you’re looking for.”
* “Gee, I think I’m going to be busy for the entire summer.”
* “Is your friend single?”
* “Oooh, will you look at the time?”
* “I’m just going to the corner store for some cigarettes.”
* “It’s not you, it’s me.”
* “It’s not me, it’s you.”
* “You know… our star signs don’t match.”
* “Let’s just be friends.”

Things you don’t want to hear on a first dinner date:

* “Don’t worry, babe. Moustache wax isn’t toxic if you swallow it.”
* “Are you gonna eat that whole steak?”
* “Whoa! Easy on the dessert!”
* “Oops! I can’t believe I left my wallet/purse/money at home. again.”
* “Shix drinkz sin’t drunkk. iiii kin still drrrive.”
* “Why don’t we skip dinner and just head off to your place for a quickie? …because I’ve got another date in an hour.”

Things you should never say in the heat of the moment:

* “I’d like to have an open relationship.”
* “Have you started yet?”
* “Could you hurry up? My favorite show is on soon.”
* “Hmm, I just remembered. I’m out of milk and cereal.”
* “You think your sister would be interested in a three-way?”
* “Oooh, Steven” (your name is Sean)
* “This is my first time.” (she says as she pulls out a whip)
