My Dating Version of Jeff Foxworthy

You've probably heard at some point comedian Jeff Foxworthy's "You Might Be a Redneck", which goes something along the lines of, "If you ever [insert punchline here], you might be a redneck." I'm thinking of adding a regular feature to this space which runs along the lines of "Chances Are There Won't Be a Second". I'll skip the obvious ones like constantly looking at their watch, or mentioning something about having to wash their iguana. And of course, being a guy, I can only make "observations" from my cro-magnon perspective, though there's undoubtedly an enterprising female out there who's come up with her own.

Ahem.

-If every other thing you say on a first date is met with "What makes you say that?", chances are there won't be a second

-If on a first date, she insists on paying for her half of the meal, chances are there won't be a second.

-If you ever have the following exchange on a first date:
"Thanks for a nice time, I really enjoyed your stories."
"Well, there's more where that came from."
"Yeah, I'm sure there are."
chances are there won't be a second.

-If your date ever looks up and goes, "Oh, look, there's a dead bug in that lamp," chances are there won't be a second. (This is my personal fave...)

And in keeping with the season, I'll make my obligatory tie-in with the upcoming Star Wars movie.

I actually had something similar happen to me once! She actually started going on about how during one date, some guy took her back to his place and started showing her bestiality porn. My brain was straining to decide whether A) she was just effin nuts or B) she really didn't want to go out with me again and figured this was a sure fire way to discourage it. (And it was!)
