Teaser
My post “How old are you?” is a prologue for an upcoming post that I’ll give a little teaser for now.
What characteristics (or background) of a “potential date” that once learned would make you remember that you had to visit your sick grandmother or that you had to wash your car or just make you want to turn and run?
What are your deal breakers?
I’ve already discussed my situation with J.D. Crane. He’ll know if I am lying when I recant my tale. Don’t go asking him what my “situation” is (and JD don’t go and tell them).
*Prophet
This hurts to say, but:
- Kids
- Domestic violence record
- Rabid left or right-winger
- Married
- Below 20 years of age or above 45 years of age
Those are instant deal-breakers. Otherwise, it's a case-by-case basis (and those of you who've met some of my previous beaus know that I have a wide spectrum of "potentials").

Cannibalism, VD (although they do get style points for somehow working that into the conversation), vegans imposing their craziness on others, and previous felonious incarceration. Everyone else is cool…

Right now I've got a 10-year rule in effect (no touchy anyone 10 years younger or older). Most of my other no-nos don't, unfortunately, tend to be immediately apparent.

I have two deal breakers:
1. You are a trixie
2. You have cheated on someone before
