swedishcelt 0 #26 February 25, 2007 I've cut a few dates really short. When we had planned to go to a movie after dinner I just broke down and said, "Look, you don't seem comfortable, I don't seem comfortable... want to just call it and go home?" He agreed. Neither of us were ever in a million years going to be a good fit, and we didn't have enough to talk about to even be friends. I shy away from other people hooking me up with any blind dates now.

GQ_jumper 4 #28 February 25, 2007 QuoteIs that four dates in four days? Or just three? What dating service are you using, are you always this busy? No, that was my second date this weekend, the first was was more meeting someone from myspace for the first time, we went to dinner and then out for drinks but it was more as friends. The girl I'm cooking dinner for tonight I've already been on a date with before and she's a little sweetheart and great to talk to, so it should make up for the other two. And Kbordson, the thing that really made last night horrible was just that it was impossible to talk to this girl. I couldn't get a word in without her going off on some random tangent and the few times I did she seemed confused I like a girl with a good sense of humor that can hold a conversation. The one I was with on friday was great to talk to and we were having a great time but when we went to the club it got a little awkward because we ran into a girl I had daated before.History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

Tink1717 2 #29 February 25, 2007 Just last summer, I bailed on one. I caught her in two separate lies within the first five minutes of the date ( Lie #1: She didn't have kids, she did. Lie #2: She was divorced, she was still married.) I cut it off right there and said that lying on the first date was a deal breaker. Left her right in the restaurant.Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!)

If she was thinking about any kind of a rel'nship with you, she should have known that you would have found out about the lied.... *shakes head* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cameramonkey 0 #32 February 26, 2007 yes, and I did so quite intentionally and totally pre meditative. so my best freind marries a bitch. she cheats on him, tries fooling around with me before they were engaged (she was icky... I avoided it), and after they were married, she totaled both his cars, maxed his CC's and then left him and moved in w/two guys. they divorced shortly afterwards. fast forward a year. she comes back to town. calls me out of the blue (after I drove 16 hours each way the previous year to console him after her leaving) she wants to go out. on comes the proverbial light. suuuure I'd love to. "oh, can we meet somewhere? my boyfreind I am living with doesnt know about this" suuure. meet me about 5 miles from your place at a dept store... we meet, and she brings a tacky leather rose to give me. I accept it and proceed to drive her to my favorite restaurant. one that is all the way across town, coincidentally with no windows. we sit down, and order drinks. about halfway thru drinks, I excuse myself to go to the restroom. I get to the restroom (by the hostess stand) and explain the situation to the hostess.... "you see, I am here on a date with my best freind's ex wife" her jaw drops. " she screwed him over, left him ruined financially and emotionally, and now expects me to forget all that and go out with her." her jaw drops even more. "here is a letter I would like you to give to her in 5 minutes. it explains what jsut happened. Also, here is $20 to cover our our tab (two cokes) and the rest is for your trouble." and with that I walked out (the hostess was beaming at the thought of getting to deliver this letter... or the $17 tip, not sure) Basically the letter read "you ruin my best freind and expect me to go out with you? not a chance. You are a vile creature. go back where you came from, nobody wants you back here in this town. good luck explaining to your BF how you got here." talk about refreshing.Two wrongs don't make a right, however three lefts DO!

Travman 6 #34 February 26, 2007 I always set up for dates as a coffee. It works well, you get to talk and if its going well you can then go and do something else after. I also always setup an escape plan. I ask a friend to call me at a specific time, if its not working I can arrange to meet the friend, otherwise I just much general chit chat and get back to the date.

ACMESkydiver 0 #35 February 26, 2007 I voted 'yes', but just once, and for a damn good reason. Some girl saw us in a Denny's and came up to talk to me while he was in the bathroom and told me he was dangerous and to get the hell AWAY. When he came back out I said I didn't feel like going anywhere else and I'd call my friend to get me. He curled his fingers around a knife on the table (it was a damn Denny's knife, but you get what's happening) I called my friend, she was drinking & couldn't come get me. I was really really REALLY drunk (stupid, I know this) he pulled me next to his car and convinced me that he understood, he was sorry, and he'd take me home (remember I was drunk...totally my fault, I should not have been this stupid.) I went along with it, but then as soon as we start driving he says, "I'm not taking you back. We're going out." I tell him I have to check in with my roommate in the barracks by whatever o'clock or she'd call the sargeant major (bullshit), but I'd be right in and right back out. Of course I said 'goodbye, I'm not coming back out' as I shut the door and locked it. Shitty thing is I forgot my keys in his car. I took a very LARGE friend with me the next day to see him at his unit's company picnic to get my keys back. He said, "What, you needed protection from me?" I said. "Yep." He gave me my keys and I never saw him again. Gawd I was SUCH a dumb teenager [banging head on wall] ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

GQ_jumper 4 #36 February 26, 2007 You know I could write a novel about all the bad dates I've had, blind dates always being the worst!! Every date is an adventure when you're GQ_jumper tonight however went awesome, so I guess one great date after two nights of horrible ones isn't that bad. she's actually on her way back over though, she lives down the street and ran home to change into something more comfy so we can watch a movie. Guys take note, I've been sayin it forever but I'll throw it out there again, women dig guys that can cook dinner was the icing on the cake for her. I'll check back in tomorrow, hopefully without a crazy story to tellHistory does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

TheBachelor 5 #38 February 26, 2007 QuoteI just got home from what was shaping up to be the worst date I've ever had. By the time we sat down for dinner I was already close to ripping my hair out. So I went to the bathroom called my buddy and had him call me back and bail me out. He called me back and told me that one of my teammates had just gotten arrested and I needed to go sign for him from the MP's. So I'm home now safe and sound. I've also called a friend from the bathroom. It saved me from ripping off my arm and beating her with it.There are battered women? I've been eating 'em plain all of these years...
