Imagined someone doing that and chuckled to myself! Haha I love it when you say you can’t resist rolling your eyes at questions like these. Imagined someone doing that and chuckled to myself!

I can see why you say you are lost. you really need to find yourself before you start dragging men in.

And I live in NYC so of course I don't have a big freezer. ha ha. But even still! Anyone is lucky to anything. . KB--Thanks hon! Next please, indeed! And thank you for agreeing with me on the shower thing! . David--Thanks for your first comment! EWW! I can't even go there! . Sayer -- Wow I feel like you've been faced with way to crazy women who have used those line. I've never asked a guy that, and no girl should ever ask that. Also, #1 isn't about the fat part is more about the comment. . shabel -- maybe I should have done more ;) Erin– I know right! And I live in NYC so of course I don’t have a big freezer. ha ha.

Please stop asking the "Does x make me look fat?" question. It would save us both time if you simply substituted the more direct "Hey you, let's fight!"

I thought it was sweet and stopped putting on my dirty clothes for a run to the door, as good manners dictate. The bathroom door was open and I saw her use the toilet brush to wash the tub. I did the math: toilet brush + bath tub + junior high health class = "Is your clock right? It's that late?" Toe fungus is one thing, but that tub had bad rash written all over it. Great list and translations. An awkward pause: My then-new girlfriend asked if I wanted to take a bath with her after our first time.

What do you mean, you 'forgot how great I am'? NEXT, PLEASE! And random guys using my shower. No way. Unless you're going to take me for breakfast and give me a really, really good seeing to afterwards. Otherwise, forget it. And saying how you're not looking for a relationship just makes you sound so very unoriginal. How about, I just don't like you enough to date you. I think as women, we'd respect that far more. #10 reminds me of every bad, cheesy email I have ever received online. Surely, SURELY, you can think of a more interesting question. You would think? Oh to be a lady who dates! Oh plum, I think this is one of my favourite posts!

Or just #3. Why would anyone say that? Like, maybe you HAVE toast and bacon, but you're just saving it for someone REALLY special. Do you have a super big freezer that looks like it probably contains bacon or something? I’d probably kill someone who said #1 AND #3. Or just #3. Why would anyone say that?

Saying you don't want anything serious just makes things really awkward. And number 10 is what people say when they can't think of anything else to say. It's the same as asking what your hobbies are. Boring. Numbers 7 & 10 really resonate with me.
