How to Tell If She or He Will Have Sex on a First Date

Add caption

Other than surreptitiously peeking into your date's wallet or purse to see if there's a pack of condoms, are there any reliable ways to determine if your date will have sex with you? Besides actually asking, that is, which can be awkward while you're munching on your garlic bread appetizer.

It turns out that there is a way, that there is a question you can ask, and for this special day, Valentine's Day, I'm going to reveal that question:

Do you like the taste of beer?

According to okCupid's dating research, whether or not somebody likes the taste of beer is the single best predictor of whether they will have sex on a first date. The question works for both men and women: People who like beer are 60% more likely to have sex on a first date than non-beer drinkers.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Good Morning: Rain, Rain Go Away (and It Will)

Breezy is what comes after the rain today. Look for a high in the mid 40's and lots of clouds. February's still here. Sorry.

Today's deal: A Sterling Silver Cubic Zirconia Pave Heart Pendant on an 18 inch chain. Now you're probably thinking, "What is this deal doing here?" The answer (besides the price, $19.00, a 46% savings off the regular $35.00 price), is that Valentine's Day is around the corner, and if you haven't figured out yet what to get your sweetheart, then you can't go wrong with this charming pendant. Nothing says love like a heart-shaped pendant. This one is crafted from genuine sterling silver and pave set with sparkling cubic zirconia stones. The pendant has a slight puff shape and a stylized design that gives it a youthful contemporary look. An oblique cubic zirconia studded bale allows the pendant to slide along a delicate 18-inch sterling silver chain. Click here for more information and a view of this pendant.
