She orders a Bloody Mary at noon on a Sunday AND, while consuming the second one, says;

"You know...maybe I shoulnd't be drinking this second one, the tags on my car are expired."

Luckily I didn't have her number, so I got do the "e-mail" break...kept it VERY generic...NO specifics.

She took it well and understood.

Whew!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Did that happen to you on a FIRST meet?

How "Glenn Close - Fatal Attractions" that would be! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, it was a FIRST lunch date, to boot. It was a little freaky. Made me feel like a schmuck too.

One of the women I recently talked to said that her very first date in her entire life consisted of the guy taking her to the movies...




... only to find out that he had taken her to a porn movie.

TBG, was she astute enough to understand that the guy was a looser?

Oh yeah. She said she was a bit naive, but not so much after that. She had him take her home straight away.

More than I care to remember... But here are some:

- After I paid for a nice dinner for me and my date, she took me to a Starbucks and offered to buy coffees. I accepted. She pulled out a couple of crumpled up bills, and mumbled, "well, I guess I won't have lunch tomorrow"...

- Another woman proceeded to tell me on the first date about how many scars she has from all her previous boyfriends and ex-H who used to beat her; then added that she probably pushed their buttons enough for them to do that...

- Another woman told me that her brother was serving 8 years in a state penitentiary because he was accused of being a child molester, but of course it was a misunderstanding...

I do have more stories, but this is depressing me <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />.

Once some years back, I met a woman I had "met" on line for dinner at a very nice restaurant. We had a pleasant enough dinner, with the exception of her prattling on about how she hoped one day to marry a doctor. When the check arrived I remembered the lessom my father had taught me that it a gentleman plays down the paying of the check - don't examine it closely (indicates cheap) and take the folder off the table to place any cash or charge card in it. This I did and the waiter wisked it away.

I was about to invite this woman to join me as a great little blues club a few blocks away for a nightcap when the waiter returned. He had places my Amex card (I had a green one then) in the little slot so that it projected from the folder. Th woman look at it as if it were rotting road kill and sneered, "you have a green card?!? If I'd known that I wouldn't have gone out with you. I never date guys who don't have a gold or platinum."

I Immediately got up, excused myself, and wished her a pleasant evening. Shocked, she asked, "Are you just going to leave me sitting here? I didn't drive myself. Aren't you going to at least get me a taxi?" I told her to go to the bar, since I was sure there was some doctor with a gold or platinum card there who would be happy to get her home.

Thanks Check!!!!!!!!! This reminds me of the lady I once took to dinner, picking her up at her place in my (yikes) minivan... I opened the door for her, she climbed inside, and said "You know, I never date guys with minivans"... I was about to tell her that I will help her open her door so she could get the $^&%# out, but unfortunately I was too stunned to react. Typical LA stuff....

Typical LA stuff....

I met my XW in San Bernardino, but I suppose it does get more shallow the closer you get to the ocean.

The closest "LA" story I have is the woman I met for lunch who kept talking about the guy who got her pregnant, but ended up marrying another woman, but still really loved her, and she wanted to get back together with him, but he couldn't because of his marriage, but she really loved him, and his family had lots of money. But... she really seriously considered taking up the offer from the VP of a Fortune 100 company for an apartment and "allowance" in exchange for monthly "visits", but she decided she couldn't because she really loved he father of her child, and only if he wasn't married, they could be together...
