what's the difference between dating and finding an agent?

Lol, yeah, I'd say there's not much difference. Either way, you're looking for a good relationship.

Of course, you're date isn't usually looking for a 15% cut

Good points. I laughed reading this.

An agent won't have sex with you ever. I found that out the hard way.

Well, ones own agent won't.

Hey, if the date works out and you sign the contract (get married), you're giving away a 50% cut. Agents are cheaper.

There's first base (query), second base (partial), and third base (full), which all build your hopes to get to home plate (offer). The date (or agent) can dash your hopes at any time.

If I get to second and third base with a lot of agents but don't ever get to home, am I still a slut?

In dating you are not hoping to find a whorehopper. Usually.

I don't have sex with my agent.

(she doesn't have enough tattoos or guns for my tastes.)

This is like the analogy that getting published is like losing your virginity. However much you may desire it, someone else has to say yes for it to happen.

Though best not take that too far, as I'm not sure what that would say about the role of agents. And as for self-publishing...best not go there.

According to almost every comedian ever, neither will your wife. *rimshot*
