Run Forrest, Run!
susanr613 said:LOL I'm not that creative KG. As tempted as I was to tell him the truth, I emailed him that I am still not over a previous relationship and can't focus on him. "It's not you, it's me" is a time-tested way to shut the door without hitting the guy in the keister.
etteluap70PC said:OMG... ROTFLMAO!!!!
But seriously Susan, so sory you had to endure this! I cannot immagine having to date again. I hated it the first time!
colegrovet said:yea you wouldn't want to hit him in the keister.. he may want you to rub that too!
vwpamperedchef said:You should reply "I make several mistakes a year, you happened to be one of them" LOL
Seriously that was mean, but I feel sorry for those of you in the dating scene. I know its very hard for my friends in their late 30s...
susanr613 said:I had a third date tonight with someone who verbally just shot himself in both feet and probably every other appendage.
During our first date, I did notice that he talked about himself a lot and didn't seem too interested in what I had to say. OK I'll give him a second chance.
Second date was a little better, plus I had a couple glasses of wine.
Third date and OMG I am ready to never see him again. Here are a few examples...
Talking about work..."I only make one mistake a year."
Tallking about how it's hard to proofread your own work..."Not me. I have no problem with that."
When I said I didn't want DS to go into the military and be at risk for being killed/injured or killing others...."I was in the Army" "No you weren't you were in ROTC" "Well....I did learn how to fight...I rappelled down a mountain, etc etc..." "Yes, but you didn't have to kill anyone" OK Cheffers, I thought he was being very disrespectful to those who actually HAVE put their lives at risk for the rest of us. Please correct me if I'm wrong, as I am not from a military family.
Then....he talked about how he thought he was losing muscle mass in his legs (he cycles as a serious hobby)....and wanted me to feel his leg!!! EWWWW!!!! :yuck:
Those of you who are married, be happy! I'm ready to pour myself a glass of wine, make some popcorn and watch TV....forever!!!

The WORST date I was ever on was like a "non-date". My sister thought it would be great to set me up with a friend of a friend of hers. (I was 19 at the time). I had seen the guy and he was major eye-candy. So I agreed. Well the night of our date he calls and says he has to go out of town, it is last minute and he has to reschedule. Okay no big deal right? The next day (morning after the "non-date" I found out he was arrested and put in jail for ROBBING a bar the night before!!!! OH MY WORD!! I guess his going out of town was contingent on him getting away with burglary.
I told my sister that she NEVER would be allowed to set me up again! And that she needed to find new friends.

Besides, you know if Linda's recommending him, he's a good guy.
During the first date, the person talked about themselves a lot and didn't seem very interested in what the other person had to say.
The person's behavior improved slightly on the second date, but the other person also had a couple of glasses of wine which may have affected their perception.
One example of the person's insecure behavior is when they talked about how they only make one mistake a year at work.
The person was disrespectful to those who have served in the military by downplaying their experiences and claiming they learned how to fight and rappel down mountains in ROTC.
One particularly uncomfortable moment was when the person asked the other person to feel their leg because they were concerned about losing muscle mass. This made the other person feel uncomfortable and was inappropriate for a third date.
