Your Dating TalesTALES FROM THE DATING CRYPT…Crazy tales & advice in these crazy times!

This is a short but sweet list of five of things guys have done on dates that have freaked me out…

1. I was out to dinner with a guy who didn’t listen to a word I would say.  Everything I said to him had to be repeated.

At some point, I told him that I was vegetarian.

Later on, wanting to share his food without telling me, he cut off a huge piece of his steak and placed it on my plate.

I was mortified!  (Keep in mind, I haven’t eaten meat for 20 years.)

2. A guy sitting across from me at lunch on a hot summer day paid me this compliment:  “You have beautiful eyes.”

Me:  “Oh, but I’m wearing sunglasses!  You can’t see them.”

Him:  “I can see everything”.

Me thinking:  Weirdo!

3. I was out to dinner with a guy I’d just met, and he was totally boring to me.  After 2 hours, I told him that I had to get home and get some rest.  Our waitress was around somewhere, but we didn’t see her right away.

My date was so eager to fulfill my request that he invaded the restaurant kitchen to look for the waitress.

I was so embarassed that I had to wait for him outside.

4. I met a guy for a drink date in the Castro.  He was definitely hot and a lot of the men passing by were staring.

Finally, some of those men were bold enough to start talking to my date.

And to my total shock, my date flirted back with the guys!!!!!

I think he was really playing for the other team

5. A guy asked me to pay for dinner.

NEVER!

So here is yet another free and easy thing a man can do to impress a girl…

Have a plan when you see her for your date!

Case in point…

A few years back, I met this really good looking guy on a social networking site that I frequent.  After a couple of emails, he gave me a call and we decided to meet up.  Lucky for me, he lived in San Francisco!

He wanted me to meet him outside of his office building downtown.  I thought it was a little weird, but giving him the benefit, I thought, “we’re probably heading to dinner downtown anyway.”

So when I saw him, I was like, “damn, he’s hot!”…even better looking than his pictures.  Tall, hot, nice guy.  I scored.

When I asked him where we were going, he was like “Oh, I don’t know yet.”

WHAT???  You asked me to meet you down here and you didn’t think about where we’d go??

Then he said to me, “Well, don’ t you know of some place?  How long have you lived in San Francisco anyway?”

RIDUCULOUS, right?

We ended up walking around downtown for over 1 hour searching for a place to eat.  It sucked because I was wearing heels!

Unfortunately, we only found a place for drinks and I was starving.

Honestly, he was a nice guy.  Being that he was so tall and good looking was a plus.

But a man without a plan…PRETTY WEAK.

He called me several times and wanted to “take me out” again.  But a guy like that gets NO play from me.

Ladies, if he invites you out, remember…A REAL MAN MAKES A PLAN!

This is a quickie tip for both guys and girls…

I’d met a guy several weeks ago who was totally cool.  We got along just fab and I even sensed a little chemistry, ooooh! We had a fantastic date; conversation was flowing, he paid for the meal without hesitation, and he even walked me home.

Low and behold, I was correctomundo on the chemistry because he attempted a kiss at the end of the night.

To my total displeasure, his attempt was a freaking disaster!

Why?  You might ask…

His breath smelled like a TOILET!  A toilet full of cigarettes and a bunch of other nasty sh**.

Normally, my sense of smell is right on.  But for some reason, I couldn’t detect the repugnancy of his breath while I was talking to him.

Seriously, it was such a shame.

I just had to turn my head.  And that was the end of the night, and unfortunately, the last time I wanted to see him.

Such sadness I feel when I think that a cool guy completely ruined his chances and his reputation with foul hygiene.

This is an easy and free tip for everyone!  Wash your freaking mouth out because you never know where or when you might have to use it.
