Top 10 Things Not to Say on a Date
If you ever want to go out with him or her again, you'll definitely want to avoid these lame lines!
By Steven James

"Nice haircut! We used to do something like that with my mom's poodle!"

"Oh, an '81 Pinto. How nice. My last date drove a brand-new Porsche 911 Carrera. Way too showy."

"Is that your perfume or did we just walk past a dead skunk?"

"I've got a great idea! Let's sing some camp songs while we wait here in line for the movie. Kum Ba Yah, my Lord! Kum Ba Yah! Everybody! Kum Ba Yah, my Lord! �?"

"That's so cool how you make your voice crack like that in the middle of a sentence! Most guys are self-conscious about it. But not you!"

"All right! All-you-can-eat pizza! Last time I scarfed 36 slices before I got sick. Wonder if I can beat that tonight?"

"Um, there must have been a mistake. The costume party isn't until next Friday night."

"Did you know I'm ambidextrous? I can pick wax out of my ears with BOTH pinkies at the same time. Watch!"

"Rats! It looks like I left my wallet at home again! What's that, nine times in a row? I'm sorry. You don't mind paying again, do you?"

"I still can't believe you said yes when I asked you out! The last 38 I tried all said no. I was going for a Guinness World Record!"
