    Happy to amuse! That is why it is my favorite. There are others. I like to think I have gotten better at weeding out the bad ones. Truth be told, I simply don't go out much, and that suits my life right now.

    Another favorite:

    Met a gentleman on line, we decided to go for a movie. He picked me up, and we were both hungry so we stopped at Subway for something quick. When the cashier was about to ring it through, she asked if it was together, he said NO. That's fine, I have no problem paying my own way. It's only a $4 sub anyway. We got to the movie theater, and he said "don't worry about it, I got a coupon." It was a Tuesday night, dollar theater show. He brought a coupon to save a dollar! I never saw myself as being a gold-digger. I certainly feel that if people are happy at what they do, the money is less relevant. This date was the one that made me realize that maybe money does matter more than I realized.

    I actually went out with him a few more times. Once we were walking around and I hadn't realized how cold it was. I mentioned the chill and she said that he also found it quite chilly, he then pulled a sweater out of his backpack and put it on himself (realistically, I shouldn't have expected the share, but many guys would have at least offered a warm hug). The third time I saw him (I wasn't considering them dates at this point, I just thought he was fun to talk to and hang out, although quite clueless about dating), he asked if I saw things going anywhere, and I said no, that I enjoyed hanging out with him, but there would never be anything more. He then asked if we could have sex. I can't blame him for trying really, and I continued to hang out with him. Nice guy, just not great perception for what is going on around him.

    I think I might pee my pants from laughing.

    Another example of something to get out on the table, if you're into that sort of thing :wink:

    Receiving junk pics after a first date could have saved me a lot of disappointment in a few instances.....just sayin.


    Wow I feel pretty fortunate right now....some of you have had some downright awful first dates. My first date deal breakers are if he pressures me to get into his car or come to his house. Considering like 99.9% of my dates are with guys I meet online, I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to figure out why I wouldn't want to do either of those things right off the bat. If the guy doesn't understand, or isn't respectful of where I'm coming from, then see ya. Oh, or if they think that having a first date with me AND my daughter is acceptable. No freaking way.

    First date. Still drinking my first drink. noway When I went home I discovered you can look up pervs online with just a first name.


    Sounds legit.




    Quite legit. He was a convicted sex offender. A pedophile. You can look up these people online by County and first name on the registered sex offenders list. I found his photo shot online and was able to find out from news stories what he did by searching his name.

    Some of these stories are downright scary. Exactly why dating is scary as hell. I would say constantly checking your phone is a big no-no.

    Date no-nos for me

    1. the woman must like Italian food
    2. the woman has to be at least 7 foot tall (stilts are acceptable)
    3. the woman must drive a smart car or similar car because she thinks its better for the environment
    4. the woman must like the exact same colors as I do

    Other than that.. I'm pretty open to who I date.

    Now this makes sense. I always look up a guy before we go out for this reason. On the sex offender's site, and on the circuit court site.

    I'm back on the dating market and I'm curious to know what are some of the worst offenses that someone has committed when you've gone on a first date with a person or in the early stages of dating someone?
    Coming on WAY too strong.

    Smelling bad.
