Then it becomes something interesting in the conversation that is more likely to be remembered than vague travels.

Good idea: Asking about and getting to know important information about your date like their values, preferences, ideals, aspirations and what they want in a partner.

Bad idea: Basing a relationship entirely on sex and physical attraction and not even getting to know just who the person on the other side of your bed is

Good idea: Identify that you're romantically/sexually unmarketable if nobody is ever interested in you and you've tried a lot in real life, and make appropriate changes to improve your 'market value'.

Bad idea: Recognise that no one is interested in you and continue to try online dating, obviously to no avail, outrightly refuse to make difficult changes to improve your dating market value, blame other people and society for your lack of success with dating and continually complain about your situation whilst simultaneously being willing to change absolutely nothing about it.

Most times, talking about the family "breaks the ice."


Well, you don't know my family...I mean hows this for an Icebreaker..."I have a cousin I wish was dead, an uncle with life in prison for murder." that is not all that defines my family, but I can say its not necessarily the thing I want to brag of when meeting people. My dad is homeless and not anything I can do to help him because I am on a tight budget to, all I can hope is his plan to go out to california to help people affected by the fires works well. My dads side of the family has a lot of s**ts so he kind of got un-officially kicked out so now he's going out to california to hopefully help people. I imagine a lot of people would be like 'eww your dad's a homeless.' but he's trying to do what he can.

Ten bad ideas:

1. Spend the entire date doing stuff on your phone, such as having a flirtatious phone/text conversation with a member of your date's sex.
2. Intentionally forget to bring with you any money, so your date has to pay for everything.
3. Talk extensively about how much you idolise people such as Donald Trump, Osama bin Laden, Marc Dutroux, Jeffrey Dahmer and Kim Kardashian.
4. Talk as much as possible and try not to let your date get a single word in edgeways.
5. Propose to your date immediately. Even before you order. Preferably in front of other patrons.
6. Listen to music on your headphones the entire time.
7. Say you agree with Michael Savage's viewpoint on autism, especially if your date is autistic.
8. Flirt with the waiter or waitress.
9. Use words like "c**t" as much as possible, especially when describing your date's friends.
10. Wear an Impeach 45 T-Shirt if your date supports Trump.
