ATTENTION PET PEOPLE: Question: What is a quick way to scare off a potential date?
Answer: Acting like a crazy cat/dog person on an initial date.
Trust me, I love animals just as much as the next girl; my pets are part of the family! BUT, your potential date wants to get to know you on the first date. They do not want to spend two hours listening to the hilarious things that Fluffy did this morning or looking at endless cat pictures on your cell phone.
By all means, if your date asks about your pets, tell him a little about them. That’s a totally normal topic to come up on a first date and your pets are definitely a part of your life. All I ask is that you don’t go on and on obsessing over them, even if you might want to.
Just remember that the point of dating is to find someone you want to spend your life with. That person has to be your number one...eventually: Yes, even before the cats and dogs. You don’t want a potential partner to write you off because they think that you love your animals more than you could ever love another human being.
Let your date get to know you and start to fall for you first. Then after that, then you can unveil the crazy animal person that you are. Just kidding... Kind of.
