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?

OMG Candi. I don't remember the microbiologist. Bizarro!
What do you say when someone says something like that? Did you ask him why he wasn't a millionaire yet?

Great stories. I have to make a comment about Irony Man. He cheats on his wife with someone he meets in a bar and continues an affair with her. Then he gets prostate cancer and is impotent -- can you say "karma". Serves him right if he ended up impotent -- that's what he gets for being a cheater.

That is pretty crazy. But at least he let you know up front and at least he didn't want to dress as the QUEEN!!
Where do these guys come from? :-)
LOL!!! Your post cracked me up Judy!
And yeah, real shocker on the cheater ... CHEATING on you! Kudos to you on the impotent man. If a man told me that on the FIRST date, I'd be out of there knowing it wasn't likely to lead to anything I'd be interested in. *blush*

Your story made my day. "Maybe this seems perfectly normal to some of you...but to me a typical hobby is, raquetball, or beer making...not troll impersonations." I can't even imagine someone thinking this is normal. Trolls are ugly -- why would anyone want to be one of them? Got me. Aren't you glad you found out about his hobby right away, before you wasted months with his nut!!
Donna
EXACTLY! And you know what? I did have the gall to tell him this!!
He actually tried to contact me about a month ago and I blew him off.
I've enjoyed reading everyone's stories. I don't really have a dating story about a bad date or a wierd guy. But I do have a story about something wierd that happened to me before a date.
It was my first date with Mark back last January. We live an hour and a half from each other, so we decided to meet in the middle. We picked the restaurant and the time to meet. I bought a new outfit for the date, which consisted of a pair of pants, a silk blouse and a camisole to go underneath it. My sister came over to my house before my date. My sister cracks me up. She was the one who talked me into going out with Mark because I didn't really want to, and we went shopping, she picked out the outfit for me, plus she paid for it, and she came over to help me get ready for my date. What a riot. Anyway, I was doing ok, then I went to put my blouse on, and the inventory control tag was still on it. We tried to get it off, but we knew that if we pulled too hard, we would rip the blouse. So, I had to go all the way to the mall, show my receipt, get the tag removed, then come all the way home to finish getting ready. Well, after all of that: (1) I was a nervous wreck; and (2) I was running VERY late for my date. I was so nervous by that point that I remember pouring myself a glass of wine and chugging it so I could relax. I just couldn't help thinking that it wasn't a good impression to be late on your first date. However, it did set the pace -- I'm always late, and that drives Mark nuts. He said if he could change one thing about me, it would be that I would be on time. Good luck -- I think I was born late!!!!

Okay, I have 1 good one that I always tell because it has to be the most weird blind date I've ever been on.
