Dating Tales

I recently heard about a woman that ran into her childhood neighbor at a wedding and ended up having an extra friendly reunion with him after the wedding. She is several years older than him and as a teenager she often babysat him during the summers. Now in her 30s and he in his 20s their rendezvous was completely legal, however, she’s left wondering if it was the right thing to do.

I say its ok since they are both adults and everyone deserves to fulfill a fantasy. If he were still her neighbor, then I’d suggest she avoid it. If you want to discover if you have stalker tendencies, then try dating a neighbor. My experience made me crazy because I started listening for his car, I would look to see if his lights were on, and towards the end I would become incensed when I’d call knowing he was home and not picking up.

Wanna lose your job or fill your daily life with whispers, gossip, and anxiety? Then you should date your boss.

Professor. Basically, avoid people in power. Sexy as he might be, you’ll be the one to be burned because you’re just the lowly student. Students don’t get tenure.

Tread carefully in friend’s ex-boyfriend waters. Guys seem to handle this well, but women aren’t so easy going about the idea. I personally believe that there is a statute of limitations. In other words, after awhile it shouldn’t matter if your friend dated him, but regardless, you should ask your friend if it’s ok. And if their relationship earned an 8 or 9 (out of 10) on the serious-relationship scale, then I wouldn’t ask at all. She’ll be pissed just at the idea of you kissing him.

Do you know what I mean when I say sportaholic? It’s the guy that is on a team for every co-ed sport, including kickball. You know him he gets mad when you don’t catch a fly ball. He is also the guy that will watch every televised baseball game available and will even Tivo the games so he can watch them twice. With this guy you’ll get about four days of undivided attention because every other day in the year he’s devoted to sports.

Similar to the sportaholic is the video game guy and the couch potato. Although hard to recognize at first, you’ll soon figure it out when he hasn’t been outside in days.

Who else? What guy am I missing?
