Gargoyles and Shifters and Demons, Oh My! with Patti O'Shea
10. They don't text their buddies while they're having dinner with you and their cell phones don't go off while you're at the theater.
Okay, so they don't really need phones, but even if they owned one, they'd keep their focus on you. Demons are good at giving their undivided attention.
9. Demons don't spend hours gaming on their Xbox (or golfing).
They prefer to play with humans, but that's another story and you don't want to ask. Think accessory after the fact.
8. Demons don't order grande cinnamon dolce latte, no whipped, no powder.
Demons drink plain old coffee. Black. They also don't eat quiche, drink bottled water, or send their order back to the kitchen five times at a restaurant.
7. They're not worried about climbing the corporate ladder, getting their next raise, or earning a promotion.
You never have to worry about him putting in 80-hour work weeks-your demon has time for you. He's probably not going to share what he was up to while he was out, but you're better off that way. Remember, accessory after the fact.
6. Demons aren't passive/aggressive.
If they have a problem, they address it directly. That might include taking someone's head off-literally-but at least they're clear about how they feel.
5. They never complain about being sent downstairs in the middle of the night because you heard a strange noise.
Demons are nocturnal, they're up anyway. Besides, there might be a burglar there to play with, er, chase off. Right, chase off. Yep, remember accessory after the fact.
4. Car mechanics will never try to rip you off when your demon is by your side.
One blaze of red from his eyes and the estimate will suddenly become much more reasonable. $2500 worth of work when you only went in for an oil change? Never again.
3. Demons don't care about wearing designer clothes, buying the most expensive watch, driving the fastest sports car, or going to the hottest club.
Demons don't need to own the latest and greatest or be seen in the trendy hot spots to prove how cool they are-they know they rock. But if you want to go to the club, he'll get you in.
2. They don't play mind games.
Okay, they don't play mind games with YOU. Like when some guys say they'll call you tomorrow and then don't do it for four days? Doesn’t happen with demons. If they're going to play, it'll be with someone who deserves it-like maybe the burglar who was foolish enough to break into your house.
And the number one reason to date a demon is:
1. Stamina.
A demon knows how to last and he doesn't have to ask if it was good for you. Your screams of pleasure tell him everything he needs to know.
