Things you should never say on a first date

Issue date: 7/31/09 Section: Ed-Op
This one is for the guys at Drexel, of which there are many. See, there aren't that many fish in the sea at Drexel, which means you need to bait the hook with care. So I am going to give you guys some tips on how to land a good catch. That's what I would say if this were some kind of advice column and I knew what the hell I was talking about. (Not fishing). Instead, all I can give you are a bunch of things not to say on a first date.
1."I could tell you were hot by the way your mom looked."
2."Can you stop doing that?"
3."You remind me of my mom."
4."You remind me of my ex."
5."You remind me of Margret Thatcher."
6."That's when I thought, how young is 16 really?"
7."Mind if we stop at CVS on the way? The condom in my wallet is pretty old."
8."How am I doing so far?"
9."What do you do when your dishwasher breaks?"
10."So are you like, one of those feminists?"
11."How much do you weigh?"
12."Do you have a sister?"
13."How many drinks will it take you to put out?
14."How about we skip dinner and go back to my place? And by my place I mean my dad's basement."
15."And that was the second time I bought the Plan B pill."
16."I can't wait till you meet my mom."
17."What do you think our kids would look like?"
18."You know what? My ex was a real witch!"
19."Sorry, I'm a vegan."
20."Have you heard of this game called World of Warcraft?"
So yeah. Generally speaking, you should avoid saying stuff like this. Now if you want to know how to actually charm the girl, go look somewhere else. Good luck. You're gonna need it-luck, and a lot of alcohol.
