Hello all,

After a rash of dates that were uneventful and where no chemistry was evident; here's my latest experience for the files. The date was last Saturday at a great Tex-Mex restaurant called Chuy's here in Austin. Such a shame the weather was so nice outside and the atmosphere inside was so turbulent.....

ACT I (Meeting): A tall woman named Stacy (6'0" tall, blonde hair, green eyes, slender build) wrote me a nice e-mail on match two weeks ago. Nothing out of the ordinary so I e-mailed her back and after a few more e-mails we moved to the phones. I spent a relatively short time conversing and we set up the date for last Saturday afternoon. The calls seemed normal in all respects.

ACT II (The initial meet): We met in the waiting area and I noticed she was nicely dressed except for the jeans with holes in them. We went to the bar and ordered drinks. I noticed she seemed uneasy and was having problems keeping her speech straight. Perhaps she had a few drinks before we met? Our conversation was uneven and she looked like she was intoxicated. Could this be? Here's some memorable tidbits from our conversation:

Stacy: I'm hungry... I want my food now.
John: Perhaps we ought to wait until we are seated?
Stacy: You really ought to reword your profile and just say your divorced. Not divorced twice.
John: I like to mention I've been divorced twice. I prefer being upfront and honest.
Stacy: Are your eyes dilated?
John: No. And if you will notice they are not bloodshot. :-)

The beeper rings and it's time to be seated and eat!!!! :-)
After we are seated she begins playing with the overhead light by swinging it back and forth.

ACT III (The Meal):

John: Are you enjoying yourself?
Stacy: I hate this lamp. It sux. I want my food now.
John: Well, I'll call our waiter and see if we can speed things up.

After ordering our meal it finally arrives in 30 minutes:

Stacy: This burrito sux. And the chips and salsa are terrible.
John: That's not all that's bad.
Stacy: Our waiter looks like a shim.
John: What's that?
Stacy: A she and a him.
Stacy: I really hate this lamp.

After eating quickly it's finally time to leave. :-) !!!!

ACT IV (The exit):

We get up to leave the table and she asks me what I'm going to be doing that evening.
John: I'm going to be my myself. And I'm going to enjoy it very much.
Stacy: I'm going to a testicle festival.
John: ? No response.
On the way out she walks over to a lone diner; takes some chips out of her basket and dips them into the ladies salsa and eats them. She can barely walk when I lead her to her auto.

John: Perhaps I can call you a cab?
Stacy: Why would I need a car. We just had mexican?
John: Thanks so much for the date. Have a great life....

TT

PS: I'm going to go back with my ex. It's alot easier.....

It almost sounds like an old Saturday Night Live skit. I also admit to thinking it was a "gas" problem related to the mexican food when I first saw the title of the thread. Surely, his next date will be MUCH better than this last one.

For the most part, most of my meetings are un-eventful. Just the standard "one and your done" routine most people go through. Just when I think I've seen it all; another surprise is around the corner. :-)

As I kept reading I was thinking maybe she's having a stroke or has encephalitis and is really trying to communicate correctly and it's coming out wrong but when she reached over and grabbed some ladies chips (which she already stated were gross) on the way out, I just figured she's a booze bag.

my neighbour does not do OLD but whenever he goes on dates he drinks 3-4 drinks before the date. Once he went out with my girl friend adn she noticed he was tipsy during the dinner. many people are too nervous to go on a date and they drink to loosen up.

Well that's nice and all but if a guy shows up snockered on a date he's unlikely to get another one.

She was so drunk she was incoherant and rude...nobody wants to go out with a sloppy drunk.

I don't see anything wrong with a "couple" of drinks before a date but perhaps she ate some bad mushrooms at the supermarket or a bad can of chili.... :-)

Well that's off my chest but at least I didn't fall in love with her. Now if I could just figure out what festival she was referring to.... Austin is a pretty liberal town.

Later,

Hi Tall,
That definitely tops any of my first meet experiences(in a bad way)....sorry you had to live it. But, please, don't return to the ex! Just take a break, and maybe you'll meet a girl next door type next time.
