I recently went on a date with a girl who revealed that she couldn’t remember the last book she read for fun.

Total deal-breaker.

Or am I just being too fussy?

But, seriously, there’s only one rule these days. If I have doubts, then give it a few chances, but if I’m not sure, then DON’T GO THERE. If the very thought of them doesn’t make me go all warm and happy and gooey on the inside, then there’s probably somebody else out there who WILL, and worth holding out for. Don’t settle for something that doesn’t work.

I think the biggest dating restriction I’ve had is because they aren’t the person that I’m crushing on. Which is pretty much the whole damn universe except the person I’m crushing on.

I do also have a restriction about refusing to date guys who were raised in the same religion I was. Because they tend to be raised with a certain set of expectations re: wife and not working and even when perfectly nice in other ways, they tend to have a bunch of sexist assumptions about the way a relationship should work. But it would be easy for a guy to slip under that bar–just talk and act like women can be partners, not your little helpmeet and free assistant.

Great post, but cabs have seatbelts? Are they just there for show? I don’t recall seeing them.

I don’t (and certainly hope) I have never done anything like that personally. My friends are tall, short, skinny and not so skinny (I will NEVER say they are fat becuase they ARE NOT!). I also know how it feels to be make fun of becuase of height, as I am really short.
I know there are people around my school who tease one of my best friends, and whenever I hear people talking about her I say “I’m not saying you have to like her, but please don’t say mean things about her”. So I’m completely with you Justine, looks, nationallity or any of those things are not important!
