->A lot of the time [[InnocentlyInsensitive we've got no idea what we've done wrong.]] A lot of the time you could be on a date, and you could do something you think is perfectly reasonable, and the other person will ''hate'' you for it. I'll give you an example: A friend of my wife stayed with us a while ago, and she's [[BabiesEverAfter married with kids now]], but she was telling us a tale about a time in her life when she was ''looking,'' you know? She was not settling for any old nonsense anymore, she was just at that point in her life where basically every date she was going on, she was going on with the attitude of "Could I put up with this shit for the rest of my life?" That's just where she was as a person. Now, if that's the attitude you're bringing to the date, and the other person doesn't know this, you are most likely gonna fuck that date up. 'Cause here's the thing, anything that you do, that you think is completely inconsequential, to the other person could be [[BadDate an absolute deal-breaker]]. As evidenced by the fact that my friend was on a date with this guy and it's going quite well. It's the third date, she's actually thinking of going home with him that night until, over dinner, he ''licked his knife.'' That was it, she never saw him again. And he has ''no idea.'' He thinks she genuinely got [[EscapeCall an emergency phone call]] just before dessert. And then joined the Army. He has no idea. But her exact words to me were, "Well, if he's like that when he's on his best behavior, imagine what he's like ''at home''." Dirty, knife-licking bastard. That's harsh. Don't you think that's just a little bit harsh?
