Dating

Dating.

I’m just not sure I want to do it. I’ve gone out on several “first dates,” a couple of second dates…and then it just stops. It’s just too much effort. And I get confused… “wife? You have a wife?”

Did you know, in the dating world now, that you have to be SPECIFIC, or else they don’t tell?
I’ve learned these lessons the hard way….multiple times…MULTIPLE, and I've only been out with less than a dozen men....

The questions I’ve learned to ask…..

Are you currently married?

    If you’re divorced, can you produce divorce papers?

Are you still sleeping with your ex?
Are you a convicted felon?  
   Have you ever been to jail?
   Do you have a protective order against you?
Do you have a steady job?
Do you have dependable transportation, which is tagged and legal?
Are you bisexual?
Do you have children by multiple women?
Do you have your own home?
Are you currently in bankruptcy?
Are you looking for a relationship, or friends with benefits?
 
These are specific question you must ask. They all require a direct answer. If they skirt the question….RED FLAG!

Each and every one of the above questions have been the direct reason there hasn’t been a third date.

I should really write about these…what do you think internetz? Would you be interested in hearing of my dating adventures? And possibly a HOW TO book of what NOT TO DO?

Then I’m left exasperated. Exhausted and Disgusted with dating.

I mean, yeah. I want the bubbling over with excitement feeling of having a new person in my life, but will this cut into my Netflix time? What about the gym? I go four days a week. Who is going to work around THAT schedule? I’ll tell you who……a married man.

Shit.

Dating sucks.
