Tip #56

If you're like me and don't want to date someone that still lives with their parents, you may have figured out creative ways of figuring out if they still live at home. Here are some of my favorites:

• Do you rent or own?
• How is the rent out there?
• I looked for a house in that area. Are the taxes still super high?
• Do you live near your parents?
• Do you get to visit your parents often?
• Do you have roommates? 

I've had some crafty (read: dishonest) people dodge each and every question quite skillfully, but it's at least a good start. And to answer your next question, yes, I did think about a career as a private investigator.

One day, when you're sick of meeting boring suitors, someone with pet alpacas will sound like a really great option.
