    I may have done it once or twice (OK maybe a few more times).

    In cases where I only went out with the girl to get the shadchan to stop harrassing me, my friends, my Rabbeim and my family I would sometimes try to get them to say "no".

    The reason for this is that if I would say "no" the shadchan would say that I didn't give it a fair chance, that I already made up my mind from before. (She also wouldn't be able to twist my hand and say "give it one more try".)

    Incorrigible; semi-retarded; eccentric; perhaps a woman; not Mod 80. Sometimes a bit over the top.

    Yes. The do it because they want to have good stories like Dr. Pepper.
    The are retarded, because Dr. Pepper's stories need to happen for funny reasons, not for retarded reasons- you can't manufacture them.

    For the record- I never did anything on a date for the sole purpose of repeating it afterwards.

    That is what I was saying. That your stories needed to happen naturally.

    You should not smoke. You should not even joke about smoking.

    Smoking is very disgusting, and is known to be almost as unhealthy as being fat, or being hit by your parents.
