Things NOT to ask on a First Date

This morning I caught a Tweet referencing a trending topic “Bad First Date Questions”.

I shared a few from my personal experience and thought it would make for a fun, quick & dirty post.

“Are those real?”
On a first date at a Hotel Bar “So, do you want to get a room?”
“Are you a Democrat or Republican?”
Him “How does July sound?” Me “For what?” Him “Our wedding”
At dinner “How about we just share an appetizer”
“Do you want to be exclusive?”
“So, when is the last time you had sex?”
“My Ex-wife and I are having an open house tomorrow, do you want to come?”
“Is your sister single too?”
“Why are you single?”
“Do you mind if I bring my kid?”

I’ll let you decide which of these I’ve actually heard versus those I just think are straight up No Nos. Please share your own in the comments!

Remember when Social Networking was Free!!??

I do and it’s part of the reason why I did not purchase early discount tickets to BlogHer 2012 today for $189, which is being held this August 2-4 in NYC. Well, that and the fact that I currently owe the IRS a huge chunk of change, but hey we all have our financial challenges and I won’t bother dwelling on it in this post. I’m just going the responsible route and sucking it up.

I still really, really want to attend BlogHer and I would love-love-love to attend BlogWorld and New Media Expo NY 2012, but financially I can not justify the out of pocket expense at this time. Perhaps an opportunity will come along … I’ll save my campaigning (begging and pleading) for another post.
