Spring being in the air and such, I was thinking over the weekend that it might be fun to enlist your help in putting together a list of dos and don’ts for us babyboomers that are even contemplating dating again before they die.

I’ve started a list – I’m having fun but also, seriously, want to know.  Don’t you?

As you can see, I’m a little light on the helpful side, so won’t you chip in here with your own helpful hints for either or both columns, and let’s see what we get 🙂

THINGS THAT WON’T HELP

A CALIFORNIA BABYBOOMER GET

A(NOTHER) DATE THIS CENTURY

• Foot fungus (as in “Doc, you gotta get rid of this fungus or I’ll never get another date” – actually said to a podiatrist)
• Wearing baggy t-shirts, Capri pants, ankle socks and tennies (least that’s what my ex keeps telling me)
• Drinking beer and a shot of Cuervo exclusively at cocktail hour (least that’s what my ex keeps telling me!)
• Getting a sunburn on only half of each shin (did that yesterday)
• Muffin top (well let’s be practical and say unconcealed muffin top)
• Quadruple boobs (I believe this is all about the underwear – sure hope so!)
• VPLs (see above) (that’s Visible Panty Lines guys)
• Pet hair on clothes
• Pet hair in bed (make that ON bed… honestly)
• Nose hair

THINGS THAT MIGHT HELP

• Clean hair
• (Some) make-up
• Painted toenails
• Sense of humor
• Nice tan (in the right places!)
• Cute pets
• Well-behaved pets
• Non-shedding pets that are also cute (yeah, right)

This is exciting!

P.S. I am participating in the Ultimate Blog Challenge this month – a blog a day if I can.
