Do not pass go! Do not collect $200!



Is it possible to send someone to dating jail? We all know about the fashion police but is there such a thing for dating? Tonight I would like to press charges against more than one social misfit and dating deviant.


Criminal Offenses.
*Do not invite yourself to an event just because you saw it on Facebook. Social media does not give you a free pass to be rude.

*Do not reveal your Facebook stalking activities in casual conversation.

*Do not continue to text, call, and IM someone who has broken up with you. This is pathetic and sad.

*Do not use your own emotional baggage to manipulate other people.

WARNING: If you commit any of these offenses you will be sent straight to jail with no hope of parole.

Facebook = Depression

Okay, I confess that I was looking at Facebook at work.  I needed a 5 minute mental break from what I was doing all day.  One of my friends took a stupid Facebook quiz called “What Age Will You Get Married?”  I thought taking this quiz would be good for a laugh... so I went ahead and allowed this devilish little application into my life. This very scientific quiz consists of 6 questions:

1. How many times have you been in love?
2. Marriage is...
3. Where do you want your honeymoon?
4. Love is...
5. Your best quality is?
6. What feature do you notice first in your the opposite sex? (Please note that this typo is not mine - it is the quiz’s typo.)

I don’t know how a 6 question quiz with a typo could have such a negative impact on my mood. What age will I get married you ask? The powers of the universe and the magic of Facebook combined to let me know that I will be married at 37. The BIG 37. WOW! Even Facebook thinks that there is little or no hope for my love life. The quiz results informed me that “You haven't given up on the notion of true love and the wait is definitely worth it in the end.”

Buyers beware! The results of this quiz may damage your hopes and dreams. I cannot confirm or deny that I took the quiz more than once to see if I could lower my marriageable age. The result? The quiz is stupid and it is impossible to change your answers. I have decided that the creator of the quiz should add a new feature. If you try and take the quiz more than once you will receive the following message: "All of your worst fears are true. You will never marry. Stop taking this quiz. Log out of Facebook and immediately schedule an appointment with your councilor."

Stupid Facebook!
