4. With someone who is married, or as they like to write on Match.com, “separated, and waiting for the divorce to become final.” (yeah, right!)
5. With someone your mother wants you to meet
6. With your Shrink
7. With the Rabbi in Florida who presided over your father’s funeral
8. With the fix up from the friend who knows a friend who knows a friend who knows you
