Rules of Dating for Game of Thrones

Ladies of Westeros, there are many fine-looking men in the seven kingdoms. But it might take a little due diligence to weed out the winners from the losers. So here is a handy quiz to bring along with you on that first date. Some of these questions touch on delicate subjects, so make sure to wait until after the first flagon of wine.

Warning: Spoilers are ahead if you haven't watched "Game of Thrones." 

  1. Have you taken a vow of chastity recently?
  2. Have you slept with your twin sister?
  3. Have you murdered one of your paramours?
  4. Do you have an unnatural attachment to your hunting dogs?
  5. Have you sacrificed any family members to the Lord of Light?
  6. Do you happen to be a eunuch?
  7. Are you obsessed with a woman half your age?
Well, that leaves us with one man. The sweet-natured Samwell Tramly is the only candidate worth a second date in the seven kingdoms. He's literate, from a good family, and he clearly loves his mother. He's also unfortunately taken.
