Multiple Choice: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Seconds

As much as my married friends love to remind me how long it's been since they have been single, they love to give advice on how to handle the dreaded first date.

Which of the following is the most efficient and effective way to ensure that your first date will be your last?
  1. Tell him about your pre-adolescent stint in the circus
  2. Bring a copy of your family tree--which could confuse the writers of Days of Our Lives
  3. Arrive in your Subaru, complete with ice hockey gear in the trunk
  4. Mention anything about your cat 
  5. Show off your Robbert Pattinson tattoo (No, I don't have one; just wondering how that ranks against the other offenses.)

    I'd probably go with #5...

    #1 has the potential for a highly amusing story
    #2 is a little weird to bring the chart, but having a complicated family isn't your fault
    #3/4 are fine in extreme conversational moderation

    #5... an adult woman permanently marking her body with the image of a t(w)een heartthrob? well that's just plain creepy.

    (Although I would definitely say #2, if the family tree was accompanied by a request for blood tests, just to make certain that you are not related to him.)
