2. Be Wary Of What Topics You're Covering Early On
"Earlier this year I went out with a girl three or four times. Things were going well, and she seemed pretty cool. One night she was out with her friends and drunkenly texted me, 'Do you love me?' I tried to play it off with 'haha you're drunk,' but she sent a series of replies explaining why we should get married and how our kids would look. I was hoping she'd call me the next day to apologize for the drunken messages, but she didn't. I never saw she again." -Mario, 34
"Have you ever thought about going vegan? Nope, and I don't want to listen to why you have, either." -Vinny, 24
"If she starts texting me about cats ... or horses ... I'm out!" -Jason, 24
"I should have just changed the conversation, but I decided to take the bait. She started talking about Miley Cyrus, and I responded by saying, 'I appreciate the fact that she has become a beacon for free-spirited youth, but I think that Billy Ray probably cries his self to sleep at night." She then proceeded to tell me that 'Smiley' is her idol and that she does whatever she can to act as much like Miley as possible. It was at that moment that I was brought back to earth, and snapped out of the honeymoon phase. Any spark between us died very quickly after that." Jacob, 22
