No one is interested in hearing your passive aggressive yelps about your recent dates. Get over your ego, learn to deal with small character flaws, and nut the fuck up.
If someone eating with their mouth open is such a horrific-deal-breaking-sight, don't be a Whiner and Diner, say something. If you think that finding someone [or at least getting laid by someone regularly] is important to you, deal. No one is perfect.
Where are you meeting these girls for your first dates? On-line, or in person? It seems like if you already know them and like them well enough to ask them out, you might be more forgiving of a lack of table manners. If this is a blind-date type of situation, perhaps you should start frequenting places like etiquette schools or other places more likely to provide single females with impeccable manners.
For what it's worth, I went on countless horrible, horrible first/blind dates while trying to meet people. I was lewdly propositioned before the movie even started, I was horrified by weird body odors, I was shocked by racist or homophobic statements from people I thought would be cool. After years of this, I finally met the perfect guy for me. He occasionally chews with his mouth open, but all his other great personality traits totally make up for it. And if I say, hey, could you close your mouth when you chew... he does it.
Ha ha. (4) Excusing yourself to "pee and change your tampon" doesn't scream class Miss Single lady of Portland. (5) Getting another tattoo is not going to make you look any better. (6) Making some type of an effort to dress nice on a date is a good idea, not looking and smelling like you just got off work. (7) Being one of those "I don't watch TV" people does not make you more interesting, it makes you boring.
WTF, Bob? I agree that I'm not interested in hearing one word about tampons until we've graduated to fully kinky unprotected sex (at which point you need to grow the fuck up and deal with the fact that your gf bleeds every month), and it's certainly polite to ask ahead of time whether it's okay that you're just getting off work, but wtf is up with #5 and #7?
I think it's a lot more likely that you're the one who's boring, Bob. Also, not watching TV isn't about being 'more interesting', it's about making time for more fulfilling activities, whether those activities are as easy to make dull chitchat about or not.
All our vaginas are belong to you.
1,2,3 and some how I am WINNING!
