  • Is it really worth it?
    Is this going to be a once-in-a-lifetime chance or just a romp with the office skank? You need to have standards - it’s best to decide what they are before jumping into it.
  • Are you that much of a catch?
    If the answer is a resounding “no,” then ask yourself, are you sure you want to risk losing that tolerant someone who puts up with you and all your crap?
  • What is the risk factor?
    Fact: There is a clear difference in risk hooking up with your significant other’s best friend, compared to that hot business associate in the Hong Kong office. The less likely you are to run into that person after you’ve done the deed, the more likely you are to get away with it. It’s Murphy’s Law people.
  • Is this person a potential “Bunny Boiler”?
    This is every tryster’s worst nightmare. Check the medicine cabinet for tell-tale meds. If you see anything labeled “Antipsychotic,” make a mad dash to the nearest exit. Do not pass go, do not collect discarded clothes.
  • Do you have a guilty conscience?If you’re a horrible liar and/or easily exude a guilty conscience, proceed with caution. Go to Vegas, and don’t come back until you’ve perfected your poker face.

Tough questions! Before you embark on that oh-so-tempting tryst, ask yourself these few deal-making and braking questions.

  • 1. Working late:
    It’s the one time you’re glad to have a job.
  • 2. Car problems:
    A flat tire, engine problems, faulty flux capacitor – something that warrants a tow truck.
  • 3. Family emergency:
    Your mom, an old aunt, even better, a sick dog – there’s a reason they call them man’s best friend.
  • 4. Cell phone issues:
    “Damn phone, you’d think they’d perfect this technology by now. I’m positive I charged it before I left the house!”
  • 5. Old friend in town:
    I haven’t seen [insert FAKE name here] in years, we had to catch up on old times with a couple of pints. Important note: make sure it’s not someone you actually know, that way, it can never come back to haunt you at your next class reunion.
  • 6. Date mix-up:
    “Were we supposed to go out last night? I’ve really got to fire my secretary.”
    Try not to snicker while saying this if your secretary was the one you had a Tryst with.
  • 7. Lights out:
    You can’t be doing anything wrong while you’re sleeping, so blame a poor sleep from the night before or call on your narcolepsy.
  • 8. Wardrobe malfunction:
    Ladies this one is for you – “I couldn’t go out with you looking like this. It made me look fat, I had nothing else to wear, and these shoes are so out season.”
    Bonus tip: start throwing around designer names and obscure colors. He’ll be so confused; he’ll let the matter drop.
  • 9. Tryst-tinnitus:
    ( Sniff ) “I think I’m coming down with something contagious, I’ll see you on the flip side.”
    ( Cough, Cough )
  • 10. Abducted and probed by aliens:
    If they didn’t buy the last nine excuses, what the hell else do you have to lose? Plus, it will explain why you’re walking like that.
