How much easier would life be if before you dated someone you had to exchange resumes? I mean, we do it for jobs...You hand your resume to a boss and together you both decide if the job is something you want and if you are the type of employee that they want. Why can't we do this for dating? A friend of mine even suggested that there should be a carfax for dating...That would be SO cool! I think I would date a bit more if that were the case. I mean, picture this scenario:
You meet a hot guy, in my case, someone who is musically and artistically inclined and you both exchange resumes. After viewing each other resumes, you set up an interview process. My process would have two rounds. The first round would be with my guy friends and male family members. The second round (if he ever got there) would be with my girl friends and the female members of my family (which would be torture). They would be asked so many questions. For example:
1. Are you on the down low?
2. Are you anyone's baby daddy?
3. How many kids do you have? By how many women?
4. Do you go to church? What was last weeks' sermon about? What's your favorite Bible verse? Recite it for us.
5. Do you have mental illness in your family?
6. What is your father's last name? Your mothers? (Thanks to my absent father, this question would be an important one because I don't want to give birth to kids with 3 heads and one finger on each hand. Though that wouldn't be necessary if I'm dating someone of a different race.)
And so on...
I know this whole process sounds weird, but in previous relationships, when I caught the guy that I was dating in a lie, he would ALWAYS respond, "But you didn't ask." I'm not talking about one guy either. This way, I could respond to him, "Yes I did!" A lot of people end up dating someone who starts of one way and ends up another way in the middle of the relationship. My way would prevent that because your friends and family only want the best for you so they would work hard to make sure that you received that.
Finally...Each resume would have to come with 5 references (their exes). Sure they would put the ones that they still have a amicable relationship with, BUT even those exes will have stories that could help shed some light on your potential date or even life mate. Now if the person only dated 1 person, he or she could use friends and family has references.
I don't know about you all...But this sounds good! Even if it is 6:12 am on Sunday and I still haven't slept a wink yet...I think my plan could work. Yes, it is time consuming, but at least you can enter into the relationship with a clear head, a sound mind, and knowing exactly what you are getting yourself into. No more psycho chicas/chicos. No more abusive relationships. No more men who are dating you while they have a girlfriend who is 8 months pregnant with their baby! Yea...That really happened to me...jackass. Anywhoo...No more of that! *sigh*
So who's down? LOL
Until then lovely readers!

P.S. 30 Days is a show where Morgan Spurlock shows people living in an environment that is completely different from their normal habitat. For example, he took two people out of the state of New York who were very wasteful when it came to energy and had them live in a comune where everything was solar powered and simplistic. It's a good show that encourages thinking...I suggest that everyone should check it out. The first show is June 26th on FX.
