• (1 vote) Excuses to get out of dating an idiot ?
  

  Oh there are so many things, where do I start?
  
  This is a joint post by myself and Pearl, based on common sense and personal experience. And a bit of speculation.
  
  The following list is handy, as it saves on hurt feelings and brutal honesty. So if you don’t like a guy and are going out with him, this is what you should do…(Best time to do this is during the first 3 months)
  
  1. When your boyfriend visits your house for the first time, in the first two weeks of seeing each other, have a framed photo of the two of you on your mantelpiece. Or even better, your bedside table. Beside your Holy Bible, opened up to Corinthians 13. On top of a few Bride and Groom magazines.
  
  2. Have his name tattooed on your left breast.
  
  3. After the first time you sleep together, say “I always knew my first time would be [insert location].”
  
  4. Call him several times a day, ask him where he is all the time and who he is with.
  
  5. Go through his text messages.
  
  6. Make him your other half on Bebo after your first date together.
  
  7. Buy his and her things.
  
  8. Ring his mother and arrange a social meeting without him knowing.
  
  9. Buy a ring and broadcast on Facebook that you are engaged to [insert said specimen’s name].
  
  10. Say I love you in the first week (this has happened to me - very very creepy -Lulu)
  
  11. Scream “Oh Daddy” when you are having sex with him.
  
  12. Dramatic wild passionate public displays of affection. In front of his friends and parents. Will work well at funerals, his brother’s graduation and especially grandma’s house on a Sunday after church.
  
  13. Sit on his best friends lap. That’ll confuse the **** out of him.
  
  14. You’re going home together, climb up onto his bed, jump up and down and yell out “Playtime!”
  
  15. Arrange him to meet you in the morning and to just let himself in. Have your gay guy friends walk around the house naked and a few in your bed while you’re semi naked in the spooning position.
  
  16. Visit his work and show the receptionist your brand new ring. She’ll send a congratulatory email to him cc everyone in the firm.
  
  17. Go swimming in bathing togs with a permanent wedgie.
  
  18. When shopping together, steal his house key, get a cut copy and when he is away at work - refurbish his whole flat with girly things.
  
  19. You now have a copy key to his place - why not go to your local Kodak store and blow up some pictures of yourself and him to A1 size, have them framed, then mount them on the walls in prominent places in the house. This will work well in flatting situations and in communal living areas.
  
  20. Use his toothbrush.
  
  21. Ask him to move in with you after 2 weeks of seeing each other. This has happened to me - Pearl…yes i know FREAK!!!
  
  22. Throw out all his clothes and replace them with Ambercrombie and Fitch
  
  23. Delete all his songs on his ipod and replace them with love ballads and the following band: Backstreet Boys, Celine Dion, Enrique Ingelias, Christina Aguilera, Avril Lavigne, N Sync and other boy/girl pop group you can think of.
  
  That’s all we can think of. One of the above should be sufficient to freak out any reasonable and sane straight male. And maybe get you chucked in a loony bin. But hey.

• (1 vote) how can one improve on interview skills?
  

  i happen to be an excellent interviewee.
  
  that was bragging wasn’t it?
  
  well, you have to brag. even if you don’t do it in real life.
  
  do you like games? pretend it is all a game (which, in a sense, it is), figure out the rules, then find out how to win.
  
  prepare to the max (i.e. find out everything about the company’s philosophy, mission, goals, history, etc) that you possibly can beforehand. find something about it that you genuinely connect with. then find something about your work history that relates to it. review about 10 times, then review the morning before the interview.
  
  and yes, practice, BUT as soon as you shake the interviewer’s hand, shoot from the hip and live in the moment. if you are very prepared, what comes out in a natural way should reflect your preparation.
  
  also you probably know this but everything about you matters in an interview. get an idea of the style (clothing, hair, “look”) of the employees and dress to match it. if you don’t know it, overdressed is always better than the reverse so wear a clean, simple black suit and white blouse. don’t wear anything distracting (unless you are applying to a graphic design firm, an art museum or an art house, then wear your swirly bright red handmade necklace).
  
  if something comes up in conversation, use it. whatever it is.
  
  for example, in one of my interviews, one of the interviewers brought up snow. i told the (true) story of when there was a snow storm and i trudged 5 miles through the drifts to make it in to work.
  
  (sure enough, i was hired, and when there was a snow day with icy roads, i was there at work even though about 1/3 of the employees showed up!!)
  
  never never lie. you will be found out. just play to your strengths.

• (1 vote) Never a relationship works out between me and a guy,
  

  it’s true, guys tend to like confident women. guys also tend to like women who (sincerely) appreciate what they have to offer. if a guy makes your day in some way, or if he has taught you something useful or interesting, let him know it. my husband feels like he is on top of the world when i do that.

• What is the weirdest dream you have ever had?
  

  lol, chased by a toilet, that is awesome
  
  i don’t think i have ever been chased by an inanimate object before.
  
  although i have had dreams about entering really messy bathrooms… those always gross me out.
