No, I don´t think so . I think it´s better just to make superficial information public

 Terry looks at herfriends with a pained expression on herface. "He breedss snakes!" she cries, burying
her head in her hands.

Simone gaspslo, but Reena needs more information. "Wait a minute. What do you mean, 'he breeds
snakes'? Like, he has a couple of pet snakes? ls that it?"

"Really, Reena. Do you think that's it? Do you think I'd be having a meltdownll over a couple of
pet snakes? No. That is not it. That is not even close to being it. The man BREEDS SNAKES. He is
a one-man snake factory. He has dozens of them. Hundreds. Different kinds of snakes all slitheringl2
around his apartment, all over everything! Snakes everywhere, doing disgusting snakey things: shedding
skin, laying eggs, swallowing large things whole and taking years to digest them. He gave me a detailed
description while we were eating our spaghetti! | had to excuse myself at one point to go be sick! |
couldn't listen to it anymore!"
"You poor thingl" exclaims Simone.

"Ugh. How can he live like that?" wonders Reena.

"How can he live like that?" Teny repeats. "l'll tell you how he can live like that. Because he's a freakl3!
Just like every single guy I meet is a freak. I'm telling you, girls. This is it. From now on, no more dates. I'm
through. Clearly, I am meant to be single. Why else would I have so many failed relationships?"
"Well," Reena begins. "l will admit that you do seem to have extremely bad luck with men."
"That's a huge understatementl4," Terry says bitterly, sticking herfinger inside her now-empty cup and
licking off some leftover caramel.
"l think what Reena means is that, yes, you've had bad luck in the past, but you shouldn't give up,"
says Simone encouragingly.

"That's right," agrees Reena. "lt's crazy to give up. You're a great person and somewhere out there is
the man of your dreams. You will find him. All you need is a better screeningls process."
"What do you mean by 'a better screening process'?" asks Terry.

"Well, for starters, you should never date anyone without doing a little background check to make sure
that they're normal," says Reena.
'A background check? You mean like hire a private detective?"
Reena rolls her eyes. "Honestly, Terry. You're a smart girl, but sometimes I wonder what century you
are living in. You don't have to hire a private detective when all the information you need is at your
fingertips, on a little invention known as the Internet."
"Hmm...you might be onto something," says Terry.
Two weeks late¡ Terry is in the waiting room at her dentist's office. She is flipping through an old
magazine, when she notices a good-looking guy leaving one of the examining rooms. Their eyes meet.
There is an instant soark of attraction.

The guy walks over to Terry. "HRRGGHH. MMMNNMSSHH BHHBB," he says.

"Um, what?" Terry asks, confused and a little bit frightened.

The guy looks over at the receptionist and stads gesturingl6 wildly. Terry watches as the two
communicate through some sort of strange sign language. Finally, the receptionist tells Terry, "This young
man would like you to know that his name is Bob. He thinks you are very pretty and was wondering
whether you would like to have dinner with him tomorrow night."
"RRRNGGGHHH, RRRRRNNNNNNGGGGGGHHH!l!" says Bob, pointing at his mouth.
"Oh, and he would also like you to know that he just had a tooth removed and his mouth is still
frozen. He will be able to speak normally by tomorrow evening."
Terry laughs, delighted that this cute, handsome man is willing to risk embarrassment just to ask her
out. She agrees to have dinner with him and, with the receptionist's help, they are able to arrange a time
and place for their date. Then, they exchange business cards and wave goodbye.

groans , trying to catch his breath. He finally arrives at work and
glances at the clock: it is 9:05 a,m. He gasps , knowing
he is late. However, he is still hopeful that no one will notice him. Surprised that the
receotionist is not at her desk, he turns his office door knob and groans ,?S
the lights turn on and everyone yells, "surprise!" He had forgotten that it was ten years
ago today that he started working for the company, He is so happy and smiles at all his

It is an understatements to say that modern lífe is stressful. For many people,

both their workplace and home are sources of stress. So, people often look for
a to
an sanctuary; somewhere they can go and feel safe and relaxed. Different people

look for different places to escape their most disastrously days. Some people

run out to the spa after having one too many meltdowners, Other people watch

their favourite sporting event at the bar while taking the occasional beer swig

of. Also, there are individuals who feel most comfortable online, complaining

about their troubles on an forum lnternet. These people are not freakishly. They
They´ve
are just more comfortable typing out their troubles. They'd rather not blurts out

what's wrong or declaration their stress to people face to face. Whatever way you

choose to relieve stress, do so regularly, Don't wait until you is groaning under

the weight of all the troubles you are carrying.

 5. lf bethanneT4's story is true, why do you think Bob never invited her to his house?

Maybe because he's really engaged or married, or maybe he's afraid

of rejection for having a daughter.

Critical Questions
1. Do you think Terry has extremely bad luck with men, like Reena says, or is it her own fault she has
so many bad dates? Explain your answer.
They only speak from their points of experience,they have only met bad

people but they have not met all of them, they can still find someone special

2. In your opinion, is it better to try and meet someone on your own or should you get friends, family,
or a matchmaker service to set you up with someone? Give reasons for your opinion.
I think it is better to meet her on your own, because you can

compromise the trust you have with the other person who finds you a date

3. Do you think it was right for Terry to do a background check on Bob, or should she just have trusted
him? Explain your choice.
I do not search personal information about the other person other

than themselves, I think the ideal was to reach that point of conversation

and clarify everything with facts and truths

4. Can a relationship still be good after someone tells a major lie to his or her partner? Give reasons for
your oprnron.

After a big lie nothing is the same, there will always be doubt and distrust,

so it is very difficult for the relationship to remain firm.

Appreciative Questions
1. Do you or anyone you know have difficulty with relationships, like Terry? Describe the situation and
ask a classmate for some advice.

I only find it difficult when I want to talk to the person before I meet them,

after that I think I can relate more easily and get to know the other person better.

2. Would you ever read or post messages on a website like rateyourdate.com? Why or why not?

No, because I would feel uncomfortable doing so, and I don't trust that

kind of place very much.
