What not to say on a Date

There are LOTS of ways to ruin a date. Here are a few things NOT to say on a date... * I really don't like this restaurant that much, but I wanted to use this 2-for-1 coupon before it expired. * I refuse to get cable. That's how they keep tabs on you. * People say I remind them of Eddie Haskell. * I used to come here all the time with my ex. * I never said you NEED a nose job. I just said it wouldn't hurt to consider it. * Could you excuse me? My cat gets lonely if he doesn't hear my voice on the answering machine every hour. * I really feel that I've grown in the past few years. Used to be I wouldn't have given someone like you a second look. * And I won that trophy in the inter-fraternity belching contest. * It's been tough, but I've come to accept that most people I date just won't be as smart as I am.
