What is the worst piece of dating advice that you've ever received? == "Guys don't like girls who eat a lot on dates, so don't eat much - just pick at it like a bird. You can eat a real meal after the date's over."
Who gave it to you and what happened with it? == One of my dear friends told me that and she was always dating a lot of really great and cute guys, so I took her up on that advice and STARVED my way through dinner. My stomach was CLEARLY growling at one point, but yet I just nibbled on my food. The guy was nice enough but afterwards told a mutual friend of ours he didn't know what my problem was and if I didn't like my dinner, I should've just said so and he would've gladly taken me somewhere else to eat. I was so mad at her after that, but I did learn to chuck all the advice and just be myself. :)
My mother told me the same thing when I was a teenager. She was worried that if I ate a lot on a date the guy would think I'd get fat when I got older. LOL....at the time I weighed 120 lbs.
I remember one date that I did follow my mom's advice only to have the poor guy ask me flat out if I were anorexic. He was Italian and he told me his mother would never allow him to marry a skinny girl!!!!!
OMG!!!! I have always told my DD to carry condoms too!!! As far as I know she does. She is scared to death of getting pregnant and it screwing up her life.
When my DD was in high school all of her friends knew that I kept a large stock of condoms in my bathroom and that the kids were more than welcome to take some

This advice was from my mom...Always carry a condom in your wallet.
