Funny, weird things

I was just sitting here thinking about dating experiences and the really weird things that happen. I was almost hysterical with laughter remembering the time I shut my finger in the car door the first time I met a guy I was being fixed up with. It's been years ago and I'm sure that I didn't think it was so funny then. We were going out from his house because we had a mutual friend who lived close by and I was already in that area. I pulled into his driveway, got out of the car and shut my finger in the door. I thought I would die it hurt so bad!! I walked up to his front door in so much pain and I think I immediately asked him for ice!! He got a horrible first impression of me!! It seems like I cut the date short that night so I could go home and wish the day away.

I also went out with a guy who reminded me of Thomas Dolby (She Blinded Me With Science) but not in a cool way. I just remember he was awkward with big shoes. Hmmmm....

So, who else has a weird dating story to share?

These weren't big shoes in a good way - at least, that's not what they looked like!! hehehe
They almost looked like orthopedic shoes, but I don't think they were.

I'm sure I've posted these in the past, but I'll do it again for laughs.

There was the guy who was a tow truck driver and had 4 other women on the side...I guess he had some BIG compensating to do.

And the fellow who, when I asked him about his hobby told me it was microbiology...and that he had invented a cure for ALZHEIMER's...in the form of a gel that he used in the shower. ROTFL!!! I put a QUICK end to THAT one.

I guess he was a "reenactor"...There are a couple of renaissance festivals near here every year, where they gather.

Thanks for asking us this question.

My biggest snafoo was to grab a huge stack of napkins on a lunch date. I am so used to my little boy spilling things that I did that out of habit. I was embarassed because the guy I was with was younger, never-been-married, handsome and didn't have kids.

But the guys I have dated have done far worse.

There was the guy who had lived alone a long time. He told me his favorite dinner was oatmeal with steamed vegetables on top. I let him slide on that one because I assumed he might really appreciate my cooking. But then when he picked me up it went down hill. Although he drives a porsche, he doesn't believe in air conditioning (think hot muggy evening here in FL - YUK!), doesn't wear a seat belt and doesn't believe in insurance. I also think he didn't believe in deodorant.

Then there was a guy who was cute, had money and was the CFO of an international woman's shoe company that is featured in Saks Fifth Avenue. Talk about benefits, girls!! Travel and shoes. Okay - but he flunked the dinner test. He ordered so many glasses of wine that he had more than enough for both of us. I didn't drink at all. Okay, next.

Another guy who was supposed to be perfect according to eharmony.com sounded fun by email and the phone. He likes to travel, has grown independent children and 3 successful businesses. Now has the time for an SO. BUT he believes I should leave my son with a nanny while we travel around the globe (his parents did that with him) and states this straight off at dinner. He also tried to give me a very sloppy gross kiss at the end.

And then there was Mr. Irony. Communication with Mr. Irony was very good - we hit it off by email and phone. He was cute. He had money. But fast forward to the first date and he hit me with 2 snowballs. First, his marriage dissolved because he cheated on his wife - he horked some woman he met in a bar and then continued the affair over many years. Although he says he really learned a lesson and would never do that again. THEN the second snowball is that he had prostate cancer/surgery and is impotent. But that since he had a good doctor for the surgery he thought he would not stay impotent. I decided to give him a chance - he was fun - he would fly in from the Bahamas twice a week for a date and even took me to New Foundland!! But guess what? He left me for the woman he had the affair with.

Many others were just bad dates - no chemistry - poor conversation. I guess this reminds me why I gave up online dating and haven't had a date in 2 years!!

Man on man. You can dig up all types if you try, huh? That's just way too funny.
