    What Are You Doing Tonight?

    No, I'm not asking you out. This time...

    I'm going to take a page from *Yours Truly* and give some relationship advice. Since it's coming from me, be forewarned that it's probably bad advice.

    I'm stating a question which no man should answer honestly, especially if the answer is "nothing." It's just as dangerous as asking a woman "what did you do all day?"

    Women don't understand that a man with no plans is a HAPPY man. No plans means a night on the couch and probably a beer or two. Paradise...

    But, when a woman asks "What are you doing tonight?" What she's really saying is "I've got a huge evening planned for you and I'm pretty sure you're not going to like it."

    Guys: if you want to keep your relaxing evening, you need a cover story. A death in the family, some distant yet beloved relative, might explain your desire to remain immobile. Try it out next time.

    Ladies: when the man says "Nothing," that is his plan for the evening. Note the capitol letter 'N'. It's not an invitation. If he wants to do something he'll ask.

    8 Amendments:

    Maybe it's a good thing I didn't show up!

    Tonight "Nothing" consisted of mowing the lawn, doing laundry, cleaning up the cat's mess, and putting away dishes. Then, I decided to start blogging.

    Of course, since I wasn't assigned those chores I don't think any of them count.

    Just like Office Space...

    "I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything I thought it could be."

    Well put.

    BUT, the roles could easily be reversed :-)

    I want a night of Nothing too!!

    Oh, and P.S.

    I would hardly call anything related to my blog "advice."
