I am totally in love with my husband!   Ladies I must admit, however, there are times when I miss the dating scene: the excitement of something new, the anticipation, getting dressed up and all of the fine dining.  That was fun.  My longing for the days of the past usually last for 4 seconds – once every 6 months; then I remember all of my Dating Pet Peeves.  While I can list over twenty things that irritated me about dating, on this Single Ladies Friday I will share my list of top five Dating Pet Peeves.  Here goes:

#5 –Come correct or please do not come at all – Ladies, have you ever spent the day getting ready for a date?  You know 8:00 am hair appointment; 12:00 nails and waxing, followed by shopping for a new outfit.  You get ready. You look Fierce.  He shows up — did not shave, dress up, or even attempt to get a fresh haircut.  That date is over at hello.

#4 – A Man without a Plan – Is it so hard to plan a date?  I could never understand why a Man would invite me out and call me the day of to ask: “what do you want to do?”  Now, would I be wrong if I replied:  “First, I want to see a Broadway play.  Afterwards, we’ll head to Nobu for dinner.  Then, dancing at Tenjune – bring your Black Card because it’s a 2 bottle minimum.”   Dude, plan the date because that is what I want to do.

#3 – My name is not Rosey Hefner – Moreover, I do not have a friend for your Boy.  I found it so irritating when a guy would invite me out then call to tell me he’s rolling through with his Boy, then question if I have a cute friend?  The answer is No, I do not have a friend and you and your Boy can roll on out.

#2 – The awkward moment – The check on the table!!!  This may easily be interchanged with my number 1 dating pet peeve.  There must be a book out there that explains that the check must not hit the table.  More importantly, the check must never linger on the table.  If the book is not out there I may have to write it.  Ladies, please buy it for your brothers and boy cousins.

#1 –Dutch, you must be out of your mind! – No, I am not Dutch.  I have never been to Dutch (please allow me poetic license).  I do not eat Dutch.  I will NEVER GO DUTCH – he must have lost his!@#! mind!

On this Single Ladies Friday I am going to admit that dating is not always fun.  But, it sure is entertaining.  Please entertain us with your Dating Pet Peeves.
