I am sure we all have some funny stories to share on this topic!
That's probably true...though what I recall from my gawky and semi-nerdy days in HS was the absolute fear in approaching an attractive girl...which one succumbe dto, and the utter frustration when you found out later that she'd happily have gone out with you. Men are intimidared by beautiful , gorgeous females..
Ah yes, the sulker, I had one of those. I went ahead and necked with him a little, then said, "no thanks" to another date. Looking back, it was brutal.
Yep,
I've been a bad date, bad fiance', bad wife ;)
Here's to the perfect martini,
I can have one at the most;
After two I am under the table,
After three I am under the host.
Or many guys didn't have big enough wallets.
Ooooh I like that one.
A well-meaning client set me up with his carpool partner. My brother asked me, “Where are you going on your date?” and I said, “Some outdoor concert thing – the Lilith Fest or something,” and he started laughing his @ss off. So I go to the Lilith Fest (and figure out real fast what that is) and then he tells me he’s a Theosophist. The night just went downhill from there.
I'm sure I may have been once or twice. But until they surface, I cannot say for sure.
Well,
My next fav is the "I Don't Want No Friggin' Baggage (Cuz I Have It All)" guy...
Had a guy ask me out because I was a widow, saying "I had a friend tell me that widows after happy marriages didn't have any baggage".
And this guy coulda filled the luggage hold of the Titanic with his steamer trunks!
So I politely suggested that maybe a nun was better suited to his needs.
I had one of these not too long ago. My parents met this young lady, a banker from Istanbul, at a reception. They swore up and down she would be perfect for me.
Rather foolishly, I agreed. I met her and found she had a nervous habit - she simply could not stop giggling. It didn't matter who she spoke to - it was a nervous giggle, as if she simply could not control herself and everything was funny.
I found out from my parents later that she was indeed this way when they met her. Apparently they thought that someone who was so "lighthearted" would be a good contrast to Dark Side me.
No.

Yep!! 187 women and me! :-)
I have stories.
If it weren't for alcohol, we'd never get...
I went on a date with a guy that was a power-lifter. He was nice, but considering my 5'4" stature to his burly 6'4" muscle-bound one, he was not really my type. He could have broken me in half like a twig had we ever gotten intimate.
He didn't have much upstairs either.
Dadgum, dude.
You're a hero. An icon. A great man.
FYI..I'm 6'4" and yes, it is possible in a VW Beetle..if, IF, she's a gymnast..
Gigglers are the worst!
Somehow, hearing from you, reminds of some of the dates Hugh Grant had in Notting Hill.
...and her name is Nadia Comaneci?
Regards, Ivan
LOL..I can't imagine my parents fixing me up ever!
Jeepers! you must know what women want by now!
