I suppose that thinking about that stuff could come off as creepy if you didn't know a person well, but better you found out early that maybe you weren't compatible.

New poster here...I am the same way. I don't really think 6:21's date sounds that "off".

+1 I agree. I actually would have found his POV interesting.

Well, that's nice that all 3 of your personalities all agree on something! Must be hard in your head when all those voices are not on the same page...

NP - you are both free to think and ponder whatever you want to. And I am free to be totally creeped out and completely cross you off my list of "possible people to date" if you tell me you'd leave your family and escape, knowing that they'd all be tortured including the babies.

I'm not so much put off by the fact that he pondered it, as I am by where he ended up. Thanks but no thanks, says a lot about what kind of boyfriend he'd be!

"she spent the evening explaining all the different ways both she and clarified butter were far superior"

I cannot stop laughing at this. Also love the story about the guy whose car only went in reverse, lol.

I once agreed to go on a mercy date, the guy said we were going to the movies, as we're driving to the (drive in theatre) I said, so what movie are we going to see? Guy says, Erotic Mickey Mouse Adventures. I crack up. He cracks up. We get to the drive-in. Time for the movie. It's called...Erotic Mickey Mouse Adventures and is the stupidest most gross soft-porn type halfass animated movie evvvvvvvvver. I am so grossed out and say it's time to go home after turning down his invitation to sit in the back seat of his car to watch the awesome movie. On the way home he apologizes and says we should stop for a drink. I say ok-soon he pulls over and says he'll be right back and runs into this little old building. I'm wondering where the bar is but stupidly think he's just checking it out bcause (I'm in high school) and we are both underage. Anyway, he comes back and says he's got a bottle of somehing and a room for a copule hours to have drink in (that was his idea of stopping for a drink). I blow up and say take me home nOOOW

Wait, I thought of another one. Yeah, this is 12:52 & 12:54 again. High school was interesting.

I went on a date with a guy once who, I kid you not, had a car that usually only worked in reverse. Hey, it was a car. On our date we went to a parking lot on a super rainy night and did doughnuts and drifted a whole lot. Then he hydroplaned me home.


My DH and I just laughed for like 5 minutes after reading this. Thank you

You know he got some!

He had one too while driving (he was 19). Instead of going anywhere we go back to his parents house and hang out in the basement. I drink the beer and then he offers me weed, which I had never smoked before. Well between the beer and the weed I was totally messed up. I was shivering even though it was summer and I was practically in tears. He drove me home and acted like I was the plague for messing up our date. Such a klassy first date.

Yeah, sounds like you weren't prepared for dating at 19. That's kinda how it worked.

Yeah? I don't know, most of my friends went out to the movies or for ice cream for first dates, even at 18. Getting high in a basement? I wasn't expecting an expensive dinner out by any means. Guess I was naive.

You're not. I dated alot at that age and nobody ever offered weed.

Same.

Thanks, I always thought it was weird (and thus why I felt it was worthy for this thread).

I dated a guy who was studying for a degree in some high-security field, with a focus on North Korea. It was a slow dating period, so I kept agreeing to more dates even though I was increasingly horrified, yet simultaneously fascinated, by him. He described what seemed like a normal family life, yet there was something so extremely "off" about him. I kept listening for clues that would explain why he was the way he was, but there was nothing.

An example of the sort of "off" thing he'd say: He once explained that if a person escaped from North Korea, their whole family would be rounded up and tortured - from babies to grandparents to cousins - everyone. He said if he were North Korean, he'd take the chance to escape, even knowing what would happen to his entire family. He felt it was worth it for one person to have quality of life, since if he stayed, no one would have quality of life.
