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.

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...

Wow! I can't imagine - I've just been on one first meeting since my ex (and I'm still dating him). Have to say its been pretty normal, though.

How about when you date a guy a couple of times and he's all into you. You're texting back and forth all the time and suddenly you get a call from someone telling you that she is his girlfriend and he just doesn't want to hurt your feelings?? I was like, ummmm okay you can have him, no thanks.

Seriously, later I get a e mail from this woman's daughter. She found my e mail addy in some of the guys stuff. Her mom has cancer and the guy has dumped her again. Can you say drama??? I felt so bad for the daughter and the woman. What a jerk. Glad I dodged that bullet!

You know that "first meeting" is going bad when...

...he's 33 (you're 31) and he tries to impress you by telling you about all the money he'll have once he sues some guy who rear-ended him last month... then he asks for advice regarding a 22 year old he's been dating.

...after emailing for a while you agree to meet at a coffee shop. You get there ontime and find him in the corner with his coffee mostly gone and crumbs on a plate. "I started without you. You can go order over there."

...after emailing for a while you agree to meet at a coffee shop. (This is a different guy.) Despite having wonderful online conversations, the "for real" meeting is awkward. You agree to meet again soon to give it another try and walk out together. You go for your car. He walks into the liquor shop next door.

...after a really good meal and a bunch of laughs he tells you "Whatever you want to try in bed, I'm all for it."

...he drives to your town to meet "for real" and gets angry when he finds out that you have paid for him to stay in a hotel room down the street.

...he takes you out for dinner... and orders ribs... and licks and slurps and smears... LOL

(one more)

...he's from another city, he tells you that he shares custody of his two children and that he'd love to move to your town if things worked out between the two of you. (Pushy, or what?) "What about the kids?" you ask. "Oh, their mom can have them."

(I can't resist posting this)

...he is STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL, like no man you have ever seen before and yet he doesn't seem to know it. You've been back to the dating thing for a while. You are his first date. You go for coffee. Starbucks. And while you attempt to get more than one word answers out of his stuttering mouth, he shreds his paper cup into teeny weenie pieces and drops the lid on the floor five times.

I hate to break in, But what the heck,
since we are PA girls. I was born and raised in Erie, but live in FL now.

I have one for you:

You know that a date is going badly when he asks you what movie you would like to see, then after you are done watching it, he tells you he would rather have seen a porno flick.

So I have take me home and he makes a pass at my Mother.

That is the second story where a guy has referenced porn on a first date/meeting! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

It must be more of a pre-occupation with my gender than I am aware of! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

IMHO, it is absolutely UNTHINKABLE to even get near the S.E.X. subject until a bit of trust has been established.

What cads! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

You know the first date is going bad when there is marajuana involved and your date (unacustomed to pot) becomes excessively stoned and paranoid and later decides to exit through the window in the restaurant's bathroom !!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

what a loser ..... it was me ! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

many many moons ago

this is a very funny thread!

I thought I'd turn the tables and tell a "bad" date story about myself .... I was in my 20s .... but that's no excuse ! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

The doorbell rang. I opened the door.

"Hi George"

His name was Jerry! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

That was my first date. I was nervous. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> I never saw him again.
