Kar, I am thinking you need to check in with these two (J & T) before advancing to Go!

HP - I wish I could say they were, but probably not.

Juju - From now on, you and Tess are my permanent pre-screeners. :)

Midlifer - One of my friends swears I have a "broken picker", as I can't pick men very well!

Lost - don't worry, haven't had a date in a year, probably a good thing. I'm in northern Colorado.

I had a pathetic date - a Harvard guy (not my type at all) asked me to THE football game (Harvard was playing Yale that weekend) and then to a fraternity party. My mother said go with him - you may meet someone (yeah, right). I got all dressed up and he came to get me.....then took me about 6 blocks from my house to a HIGH SCHOOL GAME!!!! Here I was all dressed up and they all stared at me like who does SHE think SHE is. Then at the party, he tried to show off by drinking and got drunk. Then when we got to my house he said "Can I kiss you good night?" I said "No" and that was the end of that. Had a miserable time. Didn't meet anyone. But I made a memory, lol!

One of my first "dates" with this guy (besides chaperoning a junior high school dance and being cornered by one of his female students in the bathroom) was chaperoning a field trip to some caves in western Virginia...we slid down bat dung and got caught in small places.

Hmmmm...come to think of it, it wasn't such a bad date...I'm still married to him 29 years later! LOL

Nah, Kar isn't a jerk magnet. Since I think she's pretty hot, it can't be that. By the way, have I ever mentioned that in a former life I was a Douglas Fir? Luckily, a couple of friends of mine were the soil and the Sun, so I had a pretty easy life.

Adven, are you sure you weren't a Screw Pine (which is also called a Pandanus and looks sort of like a palm tree)?

ummm..aren't Douglas Firs Christmas trees? Do you know what the Christmas tree is a symbol of?

Um, does this mean I don't have to go tree shopping today? I can just stick Adven in a pot in my living room and decorate him?

I have a lot to contribute to this thread but we'll just start with the most recent.

A couple weeks ago I met this guy at a friends party. He asked me out and he seemed nice enough so we set up a date.

We go out to dinner and everything was fine at first and then all of a sudden, he's sweating profusely in a cool restaurant, fidgeting, talking a mile a minute, etc. So, of course, I thought the guy was on drugs.

He calls me the next day to apologize, he was trying to stave off a cold and took some meds before he came over so he wouldn't be coughing and sneezing all night. Instead the stuff bugged him out.

Anyway, he asked me out again and since this seemed like a reasonable explanation, I thought I'd give him another shot.

He asked me out for last Saturday but I couldn't go because I was having a party at my house. So, I told him he could come to the party. After all, we have friends in common and some would be there so he wouldn't be bored.

Well, I told him we were playing a gift exchange game and that if he wanted to participate, he should bring a wrapped gift that was unisex, worth about $10.

So, this guy brings a tube of raspberry flavored motion lotion.

My friend, who ends up with this lovely gift, calls me yesterday and says, "The motion lotion is already half empty." So, I say "Hey! Sounds like you and Joe had a good time last night!"

And she says "No, I mean it was half empty when I got it!"

The guys calls me yesterday and says he had a lovely time and he'd like to take me out again. He says "When is good for you?"

"Uh, never........."

Ok, CO and FL are now crossed off my list!

I hate to show my naivete', but (should I refer to a "Sex for Dummies" book?) . . . never heard the term "motion lotion" before in my life! Am I using context cues here properly?

Zules, if I'm right, then he belongs in my EWWWWWW2 category!

What is wrong with men, anyway?????? (Now that's what this thread is really about, isn't it?)

(... ½ wonders if this is her cue to define motion lotion...thinks better of it...decides to wait for Pamy...)

There's nothing at all wrong with men, HP. There are just a few nuts out there.

I am loving all these stories!!! Half!!! I have no idea what motion lotion is!!!! But I have a feeling it was hanging out of Lori's date's pocket.

Well, I am hoping my next date with be with a pervert, all the other categories I've been there done that, who knows, might hit it off with a perv

One thing is for sure though.. I will never go out with a guy that Kar says "Really- I went out with him once, we didn't work out, but you might"

I just ran across this thread & have totally cracked up at the stories - so nice to feel at home - This is one topic I could go on & on with. I have been single FOREVER & family members & friends think I should write a book on odd dates

I have jumped out of a moving car to get away from a total freakazoid - we were all of about 10 blocks from my house - well okay he was only starting up to get on the freeway from a dead stop but you get the picture LOL

I have one ex I can't even say much about - he was so spooky they are writing a book about him. I dated him for 4 years - on & off & never saw the side of him that others did.

I had one guy show up that emailed me his room-mates picture (roomie was 6' & yummy). But of course my date was 4'10" & ahhhhhh round & ahhhh shiny headed LMAO We wont even bring up the body odor. YUCK!

I could go on & on but I guess I will stop there. On the bright side I have had more good dates then bad and even the bad ones are funny memories.

This doesn't technically qualify as a bad date but you all may find it amusing anyway.

When I was in high school, I was considered one of the "smart kids". And as you all know, the "smart kids" are never the "cool kids".

One fine day, one of the super cool boys, the quarterback no less, asks me out! I was so excited I could hardly contain myself.

He comes over that weekend and we go out for pizza and a movie. Everything goes great.

At the end of the evening, he drives me home and I tell him he can just drop me off in front of the house instead of walking me up to the door. I just knew that as soon as my parents heard the gate, they'd come to the door. Since he'd already had to meet them (and my two older brothers) at the beginning of the evening, I didn't want him to have to go through the 3rd degree of where we went, what we did, etc.

So, we kiss goodnight (WOO HOO!) and I get out of the truck. I'm leaning on the truck saying goodbye and I slam the door shut and turn to walk away. The porch light comes on and my date starts to take off. There is one small problem....when I slammed the truck door shut, I did it on my thumb!

So, now I'm running alongside the truck, trying to get Mr. Wonderful's attention with my thumb stuck in the door. Thank goodness he didn't speed up very fast that first 1/2 block but he also didn't notice me hanging on for dear life. (No doubt he was still in another world from our smooch!) He finally stops, jumps out of the truck and then realized the passenger door is still locked. He then runs back to the driver's side to pop the lock and back around the passenger side to finally release me.

I could have just died of embarrassment!
