A Dating Question A Man Should Never Ask Poem

I’m guessing that asking this question immediately disqualifies you from any further dating

Dating isn't easy. I have done a lot in my 72 years and trying to make a good first impression requires effort. I've had some success with computer dating and I used this little four-liner in my profile. If a woman responded positively to this I knew there was a chance that she might "get me."

When trying to make a good first impression

You have to find the right things to say.

I hope this captures your imagination...

I excell at verbs ending in "k."

Like cook, talk, think, work and a few others

So you meet someone online and agree to go out to dinner and see if there could be some chemistry and a connection. This is a pitfall you have to avoid.

Long before sex is discussed

And the sticky issue of trust –

There will be conversation

Providing valuable information

About what the future might bring

Unless you mistakenly bring up this thing –

And there's the awkwardness you'll arrive at ….

When you ask her, “Are you going to eat that?”
