Warning: This week’s burning question might be considered by some to be in poor taste. If you have a delicate whatever just wait for Short Story Sunday and I’ll have a nice sweet romance for you instead of this obnoxious post. Otherwise read on.
Call it Bigfoot. Call them Sasquatches. Call them Yeti. Whatever you call them you know what I’m talking about. I’m talking about big hairy folks who live in the woods of Northern California, the Pacific Northwest, Western Canada, Florida, and other places far and wide. They aren’t exactly human, but could be some left over human ancestors. They aren’t apes. They aren’t bears. We don’t know what exactly they are.
To change the subject… I talk a lot about relationships on my blog. I am one of the most popular love letter experts on the Internet (yes I am – that is a fact.) I’m a romantic. But when it comes to relationships I’m also a realist. Relationships aren’t all romance and silly pet names. And there are rules to romance, sort of, maybe. Well not really these days. There were a lot more rules when I was younger, but then again I’m a Vampire so all bets are off…anyway…lets’ get back on track with this thing so you can answer the poll (and be totally grossed out and disturbed.)
When adults date (we’re not talking teens here so don’t get all flipped out) there is what is known as the Third Date Rule. That is where if you make it to the third date THAT is the date where you sleep with each other. Yes, sex, not napping. Napping is good too, but you need to stay awake for this. It is, yes it is, generally accepted that if you make it to the third date you’d better be wearing your matching bra and panty set. You’d better not be wearing your underwear (boxers or briefs guys) that looks like Swiss cheese because of all the holes. It definitely better NOT smell like Swiss cheese either. The third date is the make it or break it night. And seriously, you generally know by a third date if you’re attracted to someone.
Some people also believe that the third date is the big day with those who are abducted by space aliens too. Hey, I’m not making this shit up. I did my research. But that kind of probing is kind of icky so I’m not going to ask you about it. I will NEVER ask you about THAT.
But how about other bipedal types. What about a SASQUATCH. You go out into the woods and see a Squatch. Six months later it comes up to the window in your cabin. You smile at it. It smiles at you. You scream. It runs away. But what if it comes back a few nights later? What if you decide to throw in the towel and get to know each other. What if love is in the air? Does that third date rule apply?
Burning Question #27: Does the third date rule apply to Bigfoot / Sasquatch sightings?
If you honestly don’t know about the third date rule CLICK HERE. Please.
From Urban Dictionary:
Are there any cryptozoologists out there? Any Bigfoot/Squatch hunters? Any Sasquatch bloggers? Any Sasquatch Romance writers? (seriously Sasquatch romance is a thing. Don’t judge. OK if you want to judge or laugh that is ok. Look it up.)
Share your thoughts.

But seriously folks I was going to ask about Lex Luther and Lois Lane but I already know the truth about them.

Interesting… third date rule… Why does it seem to me that can’t really be right? Women want to drag it out to date number 12 (If you can’t wait until I’m ready, you’re not the right one). And men try to get her into his bed after the first date (come on, dahlin’ it ain’t gonna hurt).
*Some* women might like to stretch it out to 12, 24, or marriage. Others may not. Everyone’s experience is unique. Maybe the third date thing is not so much a rule as a compromise that gets reached somewhere between one and a dozen.
Luckily, this poll is all in good fun and not an actual dating guide. Otherwise, things could get a bit hairy.
Bahahahahahahahaha. Fun is the key word. There are much better dating guides on this blog.
Uhm… yes. In particular since I haven’t planned to end up a vampire’s meal, no matter the first or the 8th date. LOL
Not a Sasquatch meal either.
I cam honestly report that this situation has never crossed my mind 🙂
Thank goodness. It never crossed mine either until last night. I figured “Do you think Bigfoot exists” was boring so I came up with this obnoxious question.
I read somewhere that Florida also calls them “stink apes.” Sasquatch… not Momoa. Damn.
I’ve heard of those stink apes in Florida. A fitting name. All of these Squatch types are supposed to stink to high heaven.
I thought that was just Florida Man between showers…
Bahahahaha.
So my first introduction to the Third Date Rule involves a sasquatch. That’s not going to make me rush to create a dating profile…
This is the first burning question where none of the choices really spoke to me. Fittingly, had you included the mermaid answer, I would have chosen it AND it would have been the third time I had done so…….
Hey, it was late at night and I was scraping the bottom of the proverbial barrel for a question. My husband said I should have had a question about pie and ice cream.
If Pie can have its own day in March, then why can’t ice cream have its own day as well?
You been dining with someone who was high, Juliette?
Blame it on later night blogging.
