Edgar's Crows

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Crow_Baker
I've often pondered a phrase given to me by a friend: "The crows seemed to be calling his name, thought Caw." What if my name was Moo or Roar?? (More to come on this later). The point I want to make is simple. Real women are not crows. They don't call at me like cows do ... well, nevermore.
What kinds of persons do you attract?
Here's what I usually reel in:

Top 10: Are You Serious?

In honor of a friend that works for and occasionally stars on the Letterman Show, I've decided to periodically post top 10 lists. This first list includes 10 sure-fire ways you can determine the status of your relationship as -- SERIOUS. Keep in mind, this list is mostly for men, but many entries apply to the opposing gender as well. Enjoy, give feedback, agree or disagree, laugh or cry - just don't tuck your shirt into your jeans.

10. You kiss in public ... and you enjoy it.
9. You decide what you're doing with her on Saturday … on Saturday.
8. You can hear yourself think because it’s quiet, but it’s not an awkward silence.
7. You pick your nose, she watches, she picks hers, and the two of you pick happily ever after.
6. She used to cook for you regularly.
5. She starts suggesting baby names … it doesn’t bother you.
4. Kissing/Making out doesn’t last very long. There are bigger fish to fry.
3. She’s buying you “cute outfits.”
2. She skips out on “Girl’s Night.”
1. No more Gas Pains – dinner for three, please: Me, My Lady, and Flatulence.

Honorable Mention: You like her without make-up.

Blind Dates

We’ve all been set up on blind dates before.  If not then you don’t have any friends who care if you ever find true love and you also don’t date online.

Whether you’re meeting a girl from eHarmony or a friend of a friend, the first impression is critical.  Study these:

1)     First of all, meet in a public place rather than going to her door or her coming to yours, it’s safer this way and if you are not attracted to her then you can just tell her she’s mistaken you for somebody else and go home.

2)     Bring something to keep you occupied should you arrive first (a book, cell phone game, roller skates, etc.) you don’t want to stand there awkwardly, repeatedly looking at your phone in ringxiety.

3)  Wear sunglasses, this way you can stare people in the face who might be your date without them sensing your gaze.  She may look different in real life than in her profile picture, it's unrealistic to count on recognizing her at a glance.  Once you’ve made a positive ID you can act cool and aloof.

4)     Shake hands, no hugs for first meets.

5)     Before you go anywhere, get out your wallet and count your money.  Bring about $400 in cash whether you plan on spending it or not.  Cash money always impresses.

Warning: If you are taking out a girl you met online do not disclose any personal information, 1 out of 4 online dates leads to stalking and murder.  Don’t be a statistic, use a fake name until you feel comfortable.
