(OK, maybe not the best part, but an equally absurd part.) After we acknowledged via email that we would not be going out again, he actually asked if I had any single friends who might be interested in him. He was looking for referrals! Gah. I can't think of anybody I like that little.<BR/><BR/>NPW--Thanks. I do like to trust my instincts at least once in a while. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Liz--Aaaggghhh! NOOOO! No, it did not even occur to me to say that. He probably would have taken it seriously.<BR/><BR/>Noelle--Despite my not-so-favorable recap of this one, I will concede that this guy was probably a fine, upstanding, law-abiding citizen. Hence, no drugging. Creepy thought, though.<BR/><BR/>Alice--OH. MY. GOD. You have GOT to be kidding. You're not kidding?? That actually happens?? That beats any bad date story I have, hands down. As a side note, have you seen "Burn After Reading"? Do the Coen Brothers think people actually have sex as just a "given" after bad first dates with Internet matches? Wait. DO people actually have sex after bad first dates with Internet matches?? If so, I don't know about it (and don't want to).<BR/><BR/>Courtney--He totally ended up on the wrong side. It's a shame, because like I said: I'm a friend to nerds. There is "good nerd" and "bad nerd," though, and he was not on the good side.<BR/><BR/>R--Not good indeed. Also, hi! How's motherhood going? Are you exhausted yet?<BR/><BR/>NGS--How do I do it? I joined meMarmony. Seriously--I may not have met my soul mate there, but I had no trouble whatsoever getting dates. If we are going strictly by number of men interested, meMarmony is by far my most successful venture thus far. It's quality, not quantity, that matters, of course, so that's really a moot point, but still.<BR/><BR/>Flurrious--Good point, but you see, I have this babbling thing when the other person isn't contributing their fair share of the conversation. It's not pretty.<BR/><BR/>Mickey--I know, right? Were we even on the same date? I don't get it.<BR/><BR/>SS--Are you kidding me? First Alice's story and now that...

I had a guy hand me a sex toy in a grocery bag on a second date when there had been no touching on the first date. Weird. And very, very awkward.Sauntering Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14828034063817184110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12047376.post-35671917103391941042008-11-13T21:15:00.000-06:002008-11-13T21:15:00.000-06:00I'm constantly amazed at how differently two peopl...I'm constantly amazed at how differently two people on a date can percieve how things are going.
