Watch What You Say

One listener submitted a very scary story: "I went on a date once and he took me and his dog way out in the woods and then told me he could do anything he wanted to me and nobody would ever know. I booked it home." I would've ran faster than I would while playing a game of Duck, Duck, Gray Duck.

Is A Plus One Okay?

No, a plus one is not okay on a date. It's meant to get to know each other. Please don't bring a friend or your parent with you (which apparently has happened to a few listeners).

Make Sure Their Downstairs Neighbor Is Not Their Ex

Another wild story from a listener has her bringing pizza to a guys house to play video games. As soon as she gets there, he puts the pizza in the fridge and says “I ate before you came”. The next 15 minutes included his roommate and joining them wearing nothing but boxers and a Darth Vader mask asking if he could eat the pizza she brought. If there's no red flags popping up yet, here's what happens next: the guy's ex girlfriend who lives downstairs walks into the apartment and says  “I felt I should get to know you before you meet our kids”. That was the end of that date.

Don't Be This Amount Of Weird

It's okay to let your freak flag fly, we're all a little weird. However, this is just pushing it. One listener experienced this: "When the guy grabbed me by my face told me if I was a man that he would punch me in the face and then looked at my chin for chin hairs also he tried to kiss me and drooled all over my shirt."

Bringing Up The Ex

Oh cripes, that's not an okay thing to do. If your date starts bringing up the old roster, it's time to go. Perhaps they're not fully moved on yet.

Together or Separate Bills?

Uffda, when at of the many wonderful restaurants in the area it's definitely a weird feeling when one shouts out "separate". I think it should be talked about beforehand what's happening with the bill so it's not a surprise.

Happy dating out there and hopefully there are no red flags on your next date. Check out this pickup lines that only Duluth-Superior residents will understand:
