Goof here believes in a couple of "rules" to follow when deciding to be in a relationship.

(1). Meet up. I mean. DUH!
(2). Kissing within an hour must be attained. If not....have a friend call you and say that your fish got ate by a Piranha. Nothing too extreme though.
(3). After kissing has been established and you approve of his/her techniques, proceed to discussing anal sex.
(4). If anal sex cannot be discussed without the words "Oh! The Horror!", or "Freak!", or "I only do that with my Priest" then see rule number 2.
(5). If you have made it to rule number 5, then most likely you will want to see this person again. If this is the case, make sure date 2 is at Chuck E' Cheese. Trust me. If a couple on a second date survive CEC, then it is love!

This is one of the most realistic appraisals in this thread ... I mean, who'd want to be next in line after the priest, anyway ... ?

These are all excellent thoughts ...

I use the power of deductive reasoning when creating lists such as this one.
