The Ten Dirty Words to Avoid on a Date

“Being too honest, early in dating, will sabotage most relationships,” says Rich Gosse, America’s foremost authority on finding a romantic partner. “Nobody fantasizes about a romantic relationship with someone who has flaws. They visualize someone perfect. If you reveal your imperfections too early, you will lose any chance of success.”

Mr. Gosse will reveal THE TEN DIRTY WORDS TO AVOID ON A DATE:

1. AGE, especially if you are a woman. “Every man has a number in his head. If you tell him you are above this number, you are eliminated immediately. Do everything in your power to look younger, and, if you succeed, keep your age a secret.

2. UNEMPLOYED, particularly if you are a man. “During these tough economic times, men who have lost their jobs are at a terrific disadvantage. If a woman asks “what do you do?” answer Engineer, Attorney, Physician, or even Ditch Digger. But never volunteer that you are unemployed. If she asks point-blank, “do you have a job?” answer that you are “between jobs.”

3. ILLNESS. “Anything worse than a hang nail should be kept private as long as possible.”

4. ADDICTION “unless you know he/she shares your problem. Then it’s beneficial to reveal your addiction.”

5. INFIDELITY. “If you cheated before, your date will expect you will do the same again.”

6. EX. “Never mention your ex, unless it is absolutely necessary. It’s difficult to keep the bitterness out of your voice.”

7. CHILDREN. “No one wants to support your offspring.”

8. GRANDCHILDREN (if you are a woman). “Very few men man fantasize about grandmothers.”

9. SEX (if you are a man) “Most women are defensive on a first date and think that men only want one thing. Never mention that thing, if you want her to hang around long enough for you to have sex with her.”

10. MARRIAGE (if you are a woman). “Don't bring up a desire to be married during early dates. Most men will run to the hills!”

“Never lie, even on the first date,” says Mr. Gosse. “Relationships based on deceit don't survive. But be careful with the truth. Never shoot yourself in the foot. Never volunteer negative information, such as the items above. When do you finally reveal your flaws? After you hear the magic words I LOVE YOU. Then you can break the news that you're not perfect. It’s too late for them to dump you, because now they are addicted.”
