I read Dooce regularly. I love her blog. I can’t always put my finger on it, but I think she has about the level of tenderness and dysfunction in her life that I can identify with.
She was writing about the best relationship advice she had ever been given, and one of them JUMPED out at me.
So, for all my wonderful single woman friends out there, here is the very best dating advice I have ever seen in print:
From Maggie Mason: “When I was single, I decided I wouldn’t marry a man unless I could be proud if we had a son who turned out exactly like him.”
I’m glad I followed this advice before I ever saw it.

Ummm…. but I don’t want kids… PERIOD… kinda makes it a bit of a moot point. 😉

luckly I think lots of people don’t follow this advice, otherwise I’d not have ever gotten a date in my life. 😉
