First Date Haiku
Dan Alatorre issued a challenge to write a Haiku, a 5-7-5 “syllable” (syllable is the closest we can get to the actual definition) scheme. He provided a link to a random topic generator and we have to write a Haiku on whichever topic appears first (no constantly clicking the button until a “sensible” topic comes up!).
So I clicked on it this morning and got this:
“What’s the worst thing you can say on a first date?”
Oh, Hell. But rulz is rulz. And to be fair, after writing this I clicked a few more times just to see what I could’ve won, and I think I got off quite easily. So here it is!
“Is that your real face?”
Swift knee to groin ends my dreams
Foot in mouth again.
I did try to do more than one but everything came out rather rude :-(.
I have optimistically placed this post in my “Poems” category.
The random generator is the real challenge!

That’s right, Ali. No one should ever say to their date, first date or otherwise, “Is that your real face?” You’ve got that right. Hilarious. There are no doubt other things a person shouldn’t say, but I’d put that one at the top of the list. π — Suzanne

Sometimes, it’s not what you way. It’s laughing hysterically when he or she tries to kiss you. No matter how many times I apologizes, he just kept being pissed off.

I’m not sure I’d handle that very well either π

With that as your pick-up line for introductions… at least you don’t have to waste a lot on money on second dates???

Smile and nod, I always say, just smile and nod.

Not only does your strategy mean you don’t say something stupid, but it also makes you look like a great listener!

It can however on rare occasion backfire. One must never space out and use it, otherwise you don’t know what you just smiled and nodded about…
