Just a few requests...

Due to a little run of first date BAD luck lately, I have a few requests to the guys out there.
(Please take with a grain of salt- some women may not share my opinion.)
When dating or wanting to date a woman:
1. Please don't assume we're desperate. Recently I've actually heard this line: "Come on, I'm the best thing you've got going right now anyway, right?"
2. Don't call me 'young lady', ever. Seriously, are you my grandfather?
3. Don't flirt with the waitress on our first date.
4. Don't drink enough to sink a ship on our first date.
5. Along the lines of request #1, please don't assume that without you, I'd be sitting at home watching movies with my cat. Do assume that, in some cases, this is better than being out with you. Afterall, the cat doesn't try to grope me when he's three sheets to the wind.
6. Don't insult me for being 26. Saying I'm "too young to understand" doesn't make me want you more!
7. Don't belittle my job because you don't understand it. Guys, no matter how much a woman may hate her current occupation, she's there by choice and telling her she's made the wrong choice on the first date is NOT a turn on.
8. Finally, possibly the most important of all, don't say a word about my weight. Fine, I'm not the size 2 you want, that's ok. I am, however, a darn good size 8 and suggesting our next date be at the gym is just wrong. It makes me want to eat two meals, order a whole bottle of wine and stick you with the check when I "go to the restroom" but really leave the restaurant.
Just a few requests, I hope you can understand.
If this generates a list of "what not to do on a date if you're a woman", I can appreciate that, too.
Happy Friday!

Yes, sadly, it was. Though I've had one or two of these things pop up on several occasions.
He wasn't that much older than me (5 years) but he thought he was so much more.
How does a person catch one of those stupid little rodents, let alone hold onto it long enough to nail it to a board?
Ummm...psychopath?? I think so...only freaks and psychopaths hurt animals and then brag about it later...
Scary!
