Miranda Dating Rights For The New Era Of Rising STD

 

 

Have you ever asked someone out on a date?

 

Probably.

 

Did you read them the ‘Dating Rights’ questions?

 

Going out on a limb here with probably not.

 

Why would you?

 

“I’d like to spend time with you. Would you like to go to dinner, (or lunch, a movie, a walk, climb a mountain, do some roofing, shoot guns? Something.)

 

The good answer is, “What time should I be ready?” (Or, “Great, I’ll meet you at the range. I’ll bring plenty of ammo.”)

 

First date talk shouldn’t include, “How many people have you had sex with? Have you ever been treated for an STD? What’s that on your lip?”

 

Hit the first date running with where you come from, where you’ve been, how much better it would have been with better company, the last book, movie, song that stuck in your memory.

 

However, the dating rights conversation needs to happen at some point down the line. Either third date, third week, third month, third year. Why so many threes? I like three, like a three act play, three strikes and you’re out, three piece power rock.

 

So what are the Miranda Dating Rights? Here’s the original:

 

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to have an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you by the court. With these rights in mind, are you still willing to talk with me about the charges against you?

 

In Dating Rights you don’t have the right to remain silent.

 

If you remain silent after hearing questions about your past, the big date is almost over.

 

On the other hand, if your date is asking questions about your past, they could be planning on you being in their future. Not a bad thing, but after answering their questions you’ll need to ask the same ones.

 

Call it a two way street for dating rights.

 

What are the questions? Which answers are deal breakers, which are correct? Just be honest. Honesty is the key. Call it a policy.

 

How many partners? How many partners did your partners have? Make a ballpark guess. Were you a player, a predator, one night stander? Have you changed? Do you think you’ll ever repeat that sort of behavior, or start?

 

You’ve got to be able to read the other person. Do they want a player, a predator, a one night stand?

 

If that’s not you, it’s them, then be cautious.

 

Answer the question. Silence is not an option. And remember, anything you say can and will be used against you. Give the right answers and what you say will be used for you.

 

Too afraid to ask someone out on a date? Then ask anyway, ask while you’re afraid. They’ll think it’s cute later if everything works out.

 

“You were so cute,” is never a bad thing to hear.
