Tales From The Dating Crypt

Dating tip #13: "Watch Out For This Guy"

For those of you who don't know, I have 2 beautiful (yes, I AM  a little prejudice) teenage daughters. And, as of late, they are particularly interested in the topic of dating. During a productive discussion this week I happened to mention that I remember Nana telling me how she dated a member of the mafia (there is no actual evidence of this unsubstantiated comment) before she meet Papa. They had to call my bluff, welcome Nana's most recent tale.

Dating Tip #104: Don't date a guy for his car.

Even if it is a Caddie. 

"Ginittie is the name," Really? I thought I knew may Nana. She has always been the kind of women who knew what she wanted, when, where, and how she wanted it. I just can't see her falling for a guy like this. But then again we were all young gals. It makes me want to know her when...

Just Who Is This Debonair Fellow

Well it is NOT my Papa, I'll tell you that much. I would like to guess it is the dashing fellow in Nana's most recent expose. I have no proof mind you, however, in my very limited experience women don't typically cut men out of pictures and stick them in a box, covered in dust, hidden in the back of a closet, for no reason...

Seeing your women in the arms of another tends to invoke jealousy.

If you are an astute listener to this weeks episode you will notice a gentleman interrupting. I had to cut much of the interruption out, but I couldn't happen to wonder if perhaps Papa did not like Nana reliving her rendezvous. I remember this tale a little longer with inferences to a few unnamed persons, but we will let sleeping dog's lie for this one.
P.S. My Nana was a total hottie.

"Can't buy me looooo-oove"

I can't help but find it more then coincidental that my daughter choose a dating devotional this week as our focus together. Hours later the topic turns to things to look for in a guy, and Nana hits the grand finale with a dating story, the moral of which being "I didn't love him". We close this chapter with, "he can give you the world but if he can't give you love..."

In honor of the Mafia mother-in-law that never was, I bring you,

Sicilian Kiss

To make a "Sicilian Kiss" you will need to gather together the following ingredients;

1 ounces Di Saronno Amaretto

1 ounce Southern Comfort

Start by taking out a chilled rocks glass. Slowly pour the Di Saronno Amaretto into the glass first, followed by the Southern Comfort. Doing so should create the appearance that the drink has layers. Serve it with your favorite garnish.

Well, if you weren't already a hairy chested Italian fellow before you took a hit of this, I assume you are now.  Don Vito Corleone, "welcomes you to the family," with his best Godfather impression.

Now it's your turn.
