Let's say you had a friend who was joining the dating world for pretty much the first time in their life, as they had always been in relationships in the past.

    "Don't get murdered"

    ETA - Probably not to expect a lot and to not try too hard to find something long-term too quickly.

    Ask them how many lizards they're comfortable with first. You don't want to show up with 30 again if their lizard limit is like 2 and end up eating chicken nuggets by myself in the McDonald's parking lot today

    You don't? Oh, right... Mcdonals. Duh. Definitely go to wendy's for nuggets.
