corazoncito Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 I guess this story has been all over the internet, so maybe you've seen it before, but this had me roflmao. It's a guy who was trying to sue a woman for her half of dinner from the their first date because she didn't call him afterwards. When she won't pay up he tries to get her work and the restaurant on his side. It's even got audio files of his crazy phone calls. http://prdifferently.typepad.com/my_weblog/2006/07/how_not_to_act_.html? What a freak!
melodymatters Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 OMG, that was too sick !!! And I thought I had dated some weirdo's !!!
Author corazoncito Posted July 19, 2007 Author Posted July 19, 2007 Yeah, no kidding. It's entertaining, but I can't believe it's not a hoax. I mean, are there really people that weird out there?
roxy_1980 Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 I knew there was a reason that I ALWAYS insist on paying half on first dates!
ash519 Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 I wish we knew what happend...or what was happening!!! The court is going to be like "Is this your signature on this AMEX slip?" Idiot!!!!!
melodymatters Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Actually I doubt it will ever MAKE it to court. What are the grounds ? I lived in NYC for 4 yrs and did meet many guys who had issues about money there. Putting this as delicately as possible : They met on a JEWISH dating site, one would think Darrin or whatever his name is, would try to not reinforce the "stereotype" quite so much !!!
zilverenvlinder Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Well, mine's not AS weird or extreme as that, but here's my BAD DATE story: So, when I was about 18, this pretty cute guy from one of my classes asked me out. He seemed pretty nice and normal, so I said yes. I told him when to pick me up. So, expecting to be taken to dinner or a movie or something...guess where we go... (I don't even KNOW this guy!)... a COMPUTER HARDWARE store. Yes, a store in which they sell computer chips and monitors and cables. We're there for about an HOUR. The whole time he's talking to a manager guy and I'm starving. After we finally get out of there, I suggest maybe we get something to eat. Thinking that he's poor, I offer to buy him dinner. He said he wouldn't dream of it, and pulls into...get this...Taco Bell. The DRIVE THRU. He buys me a Gordita and we eat in the car. We then go to a coffee shop where he proceeds to talk about the evils of the Christian church (I don't care, I'm atheist...but what if I wasn't?) and how many computers he's built and I don't get a SINGLE WORD in edgewise. After he drops me off, he called me twice THAT NIGHT to "make sure I had fun". I reassure him that yes, I did... (probably shouldn't have done that)...and we'll do it again soon... When I see him in the hallway at school the next day, I smiled and waved and said hello to him and continued to talk to my girl friend as I walked to class. He calls me later that night, and leaves me a voicemail...get this...YELLING at me. YELLING at me because I didn't "acknowledge him at school". I acknowledged him! I did! I just didn't stop my conversation to talk to him. GOD. So, obviously, I never responded to his many calls for the next two weeks. Worst date ever. And to make things worse, he was in three of my classes the next semester. And he held a huge grudge and talked smack about me the entire year. SHEESH.

I died laughing.
zilverenvlinder Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 LOL, thanks Herzen... Can you believe he yelled at me? Like, raised his voice two pitches. It was insane! I didn't even know this dude! I know girls can be crazy...but guys can be insane too.
dbtmarley Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Wow.. wow.. ummm... wow! This just makes me embarrassed to be a man. Wish I was a bird or something...
Herzen Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 LOL, thanks Herzen... Can you believe he yelled at me? Like, raised his voice two pitches. It was insane! I didn't even know this dude! I know girls can be crazy...but guys can be insane too. I'm much older than you, and I've dated a lot, but I really don't have any flat out funny dating stories. My middle-aged women friends, on the other hand, are full of them. These stories become more plentiful if one is on the internet dating circuit. My best Match date story was this 40-something woman who told me at dinner, on our first date, that I was her 400th Match date. WTF? She then proceeded to pick food off my plate and tell me stories about getting naked and wrapping herself in cellophane for her BF. And I'm thinking, why? You're not a hamburger. After dinner, she invited me back to her place (ON A FIRST DATE MIND YOU) where she told me long, painfully boring stories about her impotent ex and the joys of shopping on Ebay. Needless to say, I got outta there. She called the next day, but I was unyielding: No second date. Dating is for masochists.
dbtmarley Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 The funniest date I ever had was when I was 17. I had this old 67 Camaro that would leak oil on the exhaust manifold. It would cause this toxic white cloud of smoke to leak out from under the hood. I met this girl and we decided to go out on a date. I picked her up in my ragged Camaro which by the way only the passenger window would roll down. She got in and everything seemed to be going as planned until we stopped at this traffic light. I looked over at her to say something and her head was engulfed in a cloud of white smoke and she was coughing. Her eyes started to water and she started complaining of her asthma. I had to turn the car around and race back to her house to get her asthma pump. Needless to say she ended the date on her front porch.
Arizona100 Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 omg lol I always split on a first date, now I know why LOL
Turquoise Waters Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 I'm not sure if I believe all this, because it would be easy to do those recordings and tell that story and send it over and over in chain emails we all get. However....it would freak me out if some dude I went out with once threatened to contact my work.
