Good idea / Bad idea: Dating version

Post Reply New Topic

Post your Good idea / Bad idea (for dating).

This is meant to be somewhat humorous (i'm thinking Animaniacs style)

Here's one of mine...

Good idea:
Asking someone about their interests in a first message on a dating site.

Bad idea:
Writing only "dtf?" as your first message.



You get the idea. Go nuts

Good idea: Talking about your family.

Bad idea: Talking about the "dating scene."

Good idea: Being able to cook dinner for your date

Bad Idea: Telling your date that she reminds you of your mother or that he reminds you of your father

I think we over analyse what to say or do. Just treat them like a new friend you're getting to know.
Long as their isn't talk about moving in, marriage, kids ect you'll be fine lol

Good Idea: Introducing your date to your best friends.
Bad Idea: Introducing your date to your parole board.

Good Idea: Showing your date your collection of miniature paintings.
Bad Idea: Showing your date your collection of shrunken heads.

Good Idea: Playing a romantic balled for your date on the guitar.
Bad Idea: Playing a romantic ballad for your date on the bagpipes.

Good Idea: Dancing with your date until the cows come home.
Bad Idea: Dancing with your date until the cows come home in the pasture.

Good Idea: Admitting to your date that you like children.
Bad Idea: Admitting to your date that you like to date children.

Good idea: Talking about eventually going on a date somewhere.

Bad idea: Talking on and on and on without ever mentioning going on a date.

Good Idea: Dating a rich guy with money

Bad Idea: Telling a rich guy that you are dating him for his money

Good Idea: Admitting to your date that you cry a little whenever you hear the theme music to "Titanic".
Bad Idea: Admitting to your date that you cry a little whenever you hear the theme music to "The Spongebob Squarepants Movie".


Good Idea: Checking your date's status on Facebook.
Bad Idea: Checking your date's status on a porn site.

'Good' Idea: Subtlely make it clear how 'well-travelled' you are, and try to use the phrase 'good food' at least once or twice.

'Bad' Idea: Try to impress the other party with your extensive knowledge of serial killers.


I'd probably be more comfortable in a dating situation if these designations were reversed, but then again I'm pretty weird....

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

I certainly don't endorse or admire serial killers, but I do have a fascination with the phenomenon.

Good Idea: Actually listen to the stories about their mother.

Bad Idea: Bring your mother on the date.
