Afternoon Drive with Jeff & Carly

 

I don’t usually put a lot of stock in horoscopes, but sometimes they can be uncannily accurate.  Take this guide to dating conversation from Match.com.  I’m Aries and I must admit, I do like to talk sports and vacations and have no time for reality television or gardening.  See what you think.

ZODIAC GUIDE TO DATING CONVERSATION

 ARIES

• Topics that fly: Sports (but not losing teams), the best vacation place in
  North America, the best deal they ever made.
• Topics that crash: Reality TV shows, gardening, and social injustice.

TAURUS

• Topics that fly: Massage: its pros and cons; asking advice about anything other than weight loss; where they’d invest in real estate if money was no object.
• Topics that crash: Diets or your success with weight loss, how you survived a crash or accident (they can be squeamish), controversy regarding religious institutions.

GEMINI

• Topics that fly: Anything derived from an entertainment magazine, an anecdote with a very funny punch line, personal questions.
• Topics that crash: Wordy opinions about sports teams, highways, or legislation, your mother, what you got on your SATs.

CANCER

• Topics that fly: Families - genetic, ancestral, immediate or distant, wine and beer but not spirits, home team advantage in any sport.
• Topics that crash: Intimate personal details, whining about your family, stories about your high school.

LEO

• Topics that fly: Anything about your Leo’s personal achievements and social contacts, fashion (as long as they can afford it), where the best fun is right now.
• Topics that crash: Sober, foot-noted views on developing countries, how early you got up/how far you run/how disciplined you are, how many other people are interested in you.

VIRGO

• Topics that fly: Almost anything but especially health, relationships, your pets, and where to get the best food is in town.
• Topics that crash: Your collectibles, practical jokes you’ve played, and viruses that affect digestion (they’ll top you and kill any passion in doing so).

LIBRA

• Topics that fly: Movies, vacations, books, magazines, politics (but you’d better know what you’re talking about) and designer fashions.
• Topics that crash: Gory or frightening stories with no point, potty humor, loud opinions in small spaces, fiction presented as fact.

SCORPIO

• Topics that fly: The latest celebrity scandal, a really good book that is being made into a movie, your optimism in all matters financial.
• Topics that crash: Your last breakup, a prolonged debate about whether or not to have a drink, asking about family.

SAGITTARIUS

• Topics that fly: Stories of personal excess in relation to food, drink, and money and how you rose above it. Justice served in a headline case, the places you’d like to explore in the future.
• Topics that crash: Anything that is derived from a blog without substantiation, why you did or didn’t go to law school, your latest tattoos.

CAPRICORN

• Topics that fly: Business news, real-estate prices, what’s good about the city you’re in, and how hard work really pays off.
• Topics that crash: Pride in getting away with something you haven’t earned, asking what they paid for their outfit, talking about sex drives.

AQUARIUS

• Topics that fly: Complicated social issues in the world, your town, or their life, books or magazines you’re ardent about, what fads they hate.
• Topics that crash: Your career, cars and traffic, any hobby that requires needles.

PISCES

• Topics that fly: pets of any kind, volunteering stories, music, best and worst of just about anything.
• Topics that crash: Airplane crashes, filthy jokes, how fun you are with other people.
