Never date a waiter, and other things I've learned ...
Witches:
So, I'm a fan of fireworks in the game. Their little fisticuffs crack me up. I've had sims or their dates get jumped by other sims, and it's all sooo amusing.
However, if you don't like that kind of thing, don't date a waiter. My current main sim and her mom both dated the same waiter dude, and suddenly he was working at EVERY restaurant or club they visited. They couldn't go anywhere without running into him. I've resigned myself to the fact that a) my sims will never get to read the paper because it's always being stolen and b) they need to check their garbage cans on a regular basis. Haven't gotten flaming poo yet but I'm sure it's coming ...
Oh, and don't have your sim date the same guy as her mom unless you want them to not be on speaking terms. Also great fun, for those of us more evil minded ... gotta love those romance sims.
So, what pearls of wisdom do the rest of you have to share?

I have learned courtesy of Justin to make sure if your sim is not an elder to put gray hair as a turn off so the gypsy brings you a more appropriate blind date. as she has very little qualms about sending an elder to a young stud as a blind date.Justin is a romance sim who is recently divorced and his ex is now married to his brother. after his divorce I had Justin call the gypsy and ask for a blind date the first one she sent him was Tiffany Sampson a disaster as they were repelled by one another. the second blind date she sent him was Arcadia Bradshaw an elder repair person well not wanting Justin to be with an elder I had Justin politely end the date with the speil its not you its me. I am not a fan of being a boy toy in a may/ december relationship ;D now Arcadia feels like she was dumped as Justins third blind date Heidi Platz arrived on the scene before Arcadia left. now Arcadia kicks over his trash can dozens of times a day. in spite of numerous attempts by Justin to get Arcadia to leave him alone this elder is very persistant when it comes to being a pest. and when she does see Justin she get the anger going first then the hearts appear.
Brynne:
Oh, God, and Arcadia is an ugly elder, at that. She's been aged down to adult and completely transformed in my game. She's very pretty now. She and Justin (my Justin, that is lol) had a fling pre-NL. He'd already been with about 40 or so females at the time, and I was running out of eligible women for him, so off to surgery she went!
Biggest pearl of wisdom I have is to remember to have your romance sims break up with their teenage girlfriends before they grow up. That is, if you don't plan on aging the girlfriend up as well. I had a rather awkward break-up between my Justin and his long-time but long-ago steady teen girlfriend when the matchmaker fixed his son up with her!

Poor Justin is so hot the females go ape over him. ;D my pearl of wisdom is make sure the ended date is gone before the new date arrives. poor Justin may never have a newspaper or trash can in the upright position again.however I had my Justin Tip Alon his paper boy handsomely and now when Arcadia shows up to steal Justin's newspaper Alon yells at Arcadia
Assmitten:
Aha! I wondered if there were benefits to tipping NPCs. Once (a couple reinstalls back) I had Mortimer tip his maid until she would hang out with him, so they hooked up. Any other benefits?
