The Point System
In dating there is an unofficial point system that people go through as they size up potential mates. There are Cool Points, Lame Points, Awesome Points, and flat-out Deal Breakers. Each item has a different point value which is completely arbitrary and probably inconsistent for every person out there. I have put together my own list below as an example.
Some of these may or may not have been the source of finger-pointing and/or a fierce case of giggles between Tex and myself. I’ll give out imaginary cupcakes to all readers who can correctly identify which cool/lame points here are based on actual occurrences. Actually I’ve got about ten years’ worth of dating stories in this list. How fun for me.
