sam light Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Unusual date defined many ways. Vast age, income, education, or height disparity? Just an unusual character or odd activities. Two that stand out for me are the summer I dated a Doctor. I was a blue collar guy, she was the new Doctor in town. She was trying to fit in with the locals her age. I was the best choice amongst a group of semi losers. Another time was a one year fling with a beautiful, but DUMB girl. I mean dumbest person I ever met. She once did something in bed that gave me the most intense moments in my life. The next day she couldn't remember what it was, I tried so hard to describe it to her. A couple of months later she did it again, and promptly forgot it. Not crazy stuff is it. Your turn.
JerseyShortie Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Well, I one time had a guy take me out to dinner and then after dinner we went and played chess at this place in NYC where you could just go in pay a few bucks and spend hours playing chess. It was very cool. I never had a guy do anything that unique, it was low key and a good way to sit, flirt, talk and fill up the time we weren't talking with playing chess.
Curmudgeon Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 It lasted 17½ hours. It was supposed to be a half day road trip for brunch on the beach, driving from Sacramento, CA to Capitola. During brunch she asked if we were anywhere near Monterey. It turns out she'd never been there. I took her. We started off with the very scenic 17 Mile Drive in Carmel by the Sea (where Clinst Eastwood was once mayor and where Pebble beach golfcourse is) with periodic stops to walk along the beaches at the coves and observe the sea lions and sea otters up close. Then it was into Monterey itself to prowl Steinbeck's Cannery Row. By then it was dark and we were cold and hungry (it was November) so we walked to Fisherman's Wharf, looked at some of the shops and ended with a lovely dinner (with a good wine, of course) sitting before a roaring fire in one of the restaurants on the wharf. The drive back took another 3½ hours and the epic date was over! Thankfully we'd known one another for five years and worked in the same profession so we didn't lack for things to talk about. I guess I should mention that we fell in love that day, or finally figured it out, and were married two months later. :love:
LucreziaBorgia Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 I went on a date with this guy in college, and had some small talk on the way to dinner. He was socially awkward (as was I), and he asked if I liked Monty Python. Of course! He then proceeded to quote the entire script of Monty Python and the Holy Grail from memory. No other conversation. Just that. For the rest of the date. He did all the voices, etc. It was interesting. Bizarre. But interesting.

With a retentive memory like that he would never forget your birthday or anniversary, would always remember to do his chores around the house and could be useful as a walking shopping list!
Gold Pile Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Of course it's LS legend that I made out with a Nun, and had a fight with a Dept store santa that made filthy remarks to my would be date. At work I ruthlessly mimic the 2 Jamacian guys that I underpay and overwork. (actually pay is decent). Nearly every Friday they went to a West Indian club. One day they were discussing a band that would be playing that night. The newspaper pic showed a beautiful Jamacian girl in the band. Knew they wouldn't want me tagging along, so I lied about it being my birthday and having no place to go. The suckers invited me out with them. I was the only White guy there, but it was a friendly bunch of folks. The air in there was smokey...nursing 1 beer I was somehow high as a kite. After a few numbers, the band's male singer had to leave on some emergency. My 2 friends boasted/lied that GP was a great reggae singer. Next thing ya know I'm up on stage next to the beautiful girl. My 2 friends were on their knees laughing. I asked them to play the last song again, as I sorta knew the words. Everyone appreciated the humor of a square looking guy like me up there. With my skilled mimicing I had them for a few moments, but quickly lost them. The band stopped playing. A desparate gambit is better than defeat, so I started to belt out an old blues song. I knew about half the words, and that was more than the audiance knew. Only the drummer was familiar with it and he laid down a great beat. When I didn't know some words I belted out a "hey", "whoa", "yeah" or a high pitched "ooooo" It was a great number and at least half the crowd wasn't even laughing at me. Some tough guys had entered the club and invited the band and select guests to an after hours club. My friends told me these were hard people and not to go. The Jamacian girl asked me to go and said "you'll be so glad you did, mon". Off I went. On the drive over, I found the girl to be highly intelligent. Outside the new club a member of our group had me wait outside while he went in and asked the assorted thugs in there not to kill me. I tried not to show fear, but my knees were shaking. Inside everyone was looking at me real hard. Desparate gambit time. I shoved a little guy who hadn't noticed me yet. He was so stoned he couldnt regain his feet. I did my trademark Clint Eastwood sneer. I was afraid to make eye contact with the tough guys so I sneered at the girl. She laughed and took me to bar for a drink. I noticed a very old man about 5 feet away. I sneered at him. When he didn't flinch I took a step toward him. My girl saved me again and pulled me by the arm to a side room that passed as a dance floor. We had a great time. She just laughed when I asked for her number. We ended up in a doorless bedroom. What a great time...for both of us:cool:. It was like 90 degrees in there, I must of lost 5 pounds. I went to leave but several gents including the little guy who caused the trouble earlier were blocking me. Seems that I crossed some line by sleeping with the girl. I said my prayers and gave a half hearted sneer. Just then the door burst open and we all got arrested (it was an illegal club). The next day I saw myself on the news. My mug isn't what you'd expect to see when reporting about a West Indian club being raided. I had to tell my parents that I wasn't really in a "shower posse' gang. I never saw the girl again:eek:
HokeyReligions Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 I went on a date with this guy in college, and had some small talk on the way to dinner. He was socially awkward (as was I), and he asked if I liked Monty Python. Of course! He then proceeded to quote the entire script of Monty Python and the Holy Grail from memory. No other conversation. Just that. For the rest of the date. He did all the voices, etc. It was interesting. Bizarre. But interesting. OMG theres more than one person like that out there!? I dated this guy once - we both worked in the same clothing store in MI. He was a self-proclaimed mime, but never said where he was performing. He was funny and cute at work and very outgoing - or so he seemed. When we went out he asked if I liked Robin Williams. I said yes he could be funny and from that point on he recited Robin Williams comedy albums. Reality - what a concept. Years later in TX I went to Galveston with a guy and when we got back he tried to get me into bed. I said no and we ended the date shortly after. No big deal it wasn't a great date anyway. I didn't expect to hear from him again - but he calls me the next day to tell me he couldn't see me again because he has a fiance in another state who has some psychological reason she can't have sex. Her name is Joy! I laughed (couldn't help myself) wished himwell and never heard from him again.

Now that seems like a really nice date. My only worry would be that a girl would think I was broke or cheap.
witabix Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 I once went on a date with a monosyllabic girl, all night just yea or no. My eyes dried up with boredom. I walked her home, at like 10.30.... "Sorry I have an early shift tomorrow" was my excuse. Thought I be polite and give her a good night kiss. She gave me beard rash, spikey upper lip!!!! Whats that noise Sideshow Bob makes.......wheeerrrrerrrr!!! WTF?
Author sam light Posted February 18, 2008 Author Posted February 18, 2008 I'm sorry that Lucrezia and hokey had to suffer dates like that. Wonder if those guys look back and exclaim WHAT WAS I THiNKING. Curm had a classic romantic time, maybe a charmed life too. Gold Pile named linked to a nun again. I'll start sifting your 700 plus posts to see what thats about. I would never get myself into such a situation, tuff crowds are for tuff guys. You got laid but you took some crazy risks. Thinking with the little head.
