So something honest like "It took me 7 years of a raging heroin addiction, 2 suicide attempts, 3 rather embarrassing overdoses, 1 year of electroshock therapy, 7 hospitalizations and a continual daily cocktail of pills that could choke a horse have made me the delightfully stable gentleman you agreed to date this evening" might make a clever conversation starter?

All good advice, along with smile, make eye contact, and don't come on too strong. A girl will usually understand a little nervousness, she's probably nervous too. Be yourself, that's the best advice I know, if she doesn't like that, you don't need to be together anyway.
I think the thing about all that which would concern me the most is that the overdoses were "rather embarrassing"!!!! Considering the seriousness of all that, it's rather flippant, isn't it?
1. Swear 2. Wear baggy pants below his butt 3. Answer a cell phone during dinner 4. Check out another woman 5. Dont pay 6. Show up late 7. Show poor manners (burping, farting) 8. Bring up ex's 9. Move too fast 10. Poor hygiene (didnt brush hair/teeth)
