1. Guess I’ll never win an argument with you

Or I have a JD but choose real estate sales, or "your a lawyer, you should know". Exhausting.

Assuming my workload is light enough to where we actually go on the date, I get one of these:

- him: oh this is great now I know who to call when I’m in trouble
-me: no. Please don’t call me if you’re in trouble, I do employment law and complex business litigation. Do not call me.

- him: that’s really interesting. So this one time ... (random story about some tangential legal issue the guy had). What do you think about that?
-me: yeah, damn that’s crazy.

-him: oh I bet your so cute in your lawyer clothes.
-me: technically, any clothes I wear are lawyer clothes but agreed I am cute.

-him: I guess I shouldn’t mess with you.
-me: *dazed, confused, mildly concerned* yup, better not.

But my personal fave: you don’t look like a lawyer.

You go on dates with your date not knowing you’re a lawyer?

Even though it’s on my profile, people still don’t know. Also, if it doesn’t come up beforehand, it has come up during the date
