Art_Critic Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 Perhaps he was trying to subtly impress you with the length and girth of his gun or his quick or hair trigger
atlnay Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 So, turning to the always honest folks here, I want your impressions. This an acceptable way to organize a first date? It'd give me pause, but I was considering you mentioned how far away you both live and if he only made it to the midpoint once in a blue moon, well...maybe, I'd give him a slight pass. But, you had to go all the way back to his house and, I'm not clear on this, but did he pay for the date?

atlnay Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 Oh ok, well it's not "movie cutter perfect" but given your location and customs for your area, seems within reason. If you enjoyed yourself and otherwise didn't get red flags from him, it's be a seriously funny story for your friends one day. "Baby, remember that assault rifle you toted on our first date? We could've been gunrunners." lol Sounds like you had a good and interesting time

And the guns were always in a case in the back of the car, so its not like we were openly driving around with weapons out. It was just . . . odd.

Ok, few more questions, what was the vibe during the errand run? How was he acting...your conversation...how was he with the clerks? Did you wait for him in the car? Just overall, anything "odd" about the behavior, environments?

Purused the wine-making store, I have a biology background and fermentation is always interesting. His attitude was, "these are the sorts of things I am interested in, what do you think", then he took me out to Japanese steak house (yummy and I tried sushi, also yummy) and to a movie. The vibe was mostly conversational, playful, and shy-getting to know you.
atlnay Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 Ok cool, so no alarms bells there either. I'd have been alarmed had he taken me to say, a dicey part of town to buy the guns and/or and even worse one to make the trade. Or had I seen him lose his temper over a sale and things looked like it was getting tense. See where I'm going? If he was in a 'normal' mood for errands, well like I said, you now have a VERY interesting how we first met story! Plus you got the bonus of seeing him be himself during his normal day, early on. Keep having fun! Side note: Your story was HILARIOUS. Like I belly laughed for real. Lol
