Emilia Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 I was in a 3rd world country and had a date with a local boy. He told me how he and his friends hated students and they stabbed one in the belly. Psycho? Yes sir
Author oaks Posted June 17, 2011 Author Posted June 17, 2011 Talked about her trip to the South of France and how her and all her girlfriends went topless. I ended up marrying her. I'm glad at least one person has a nice story rather than "i met a freak".
Mme. Chaucer Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 I learned that he was a double amputee ... we'd talked on the phone quite a few times, but he never mentioned that he was a legless man. No, I never went out with him again. He was very defensive almost to the point of belligerence about his dearth of appendages. As I walked up to him in the restaurant where we were meeting, he was looking at me all furiously, like "I dare you to mention it! I double dare you!" It wasn't a fun date. Talk about the elephant in the room! (For the record, I ultimately did acknowledge that I noticed he did not have legs ... ) And, I have another really good one, too! I was talking to this guy - this was back in the "personal ads" days, pre online dating. I was a "punk" type, and the guy told me he dyed his hair, which was cool by me and kind of a relief. I had recently moved from San Francisco to a conservative place where the "scene" had not really happened yet. He loved music and dyed his hair - sounded good to me! When I met him, though, he had kind of a page boy style do, and it was dyed an unattractive brassy blonde. He shared with me on this first date that he was taking hormones and was a pre-operative m to f transexual. He was a lesbian, though. That guy (soon to be girl) was not my type (I'm straight!), but we ended up becoming real friends. Lucky for her, I helped a LOT with her personal style. She really needed a makeover! I still know her today, many hormones and a huge surgical change and more than 20 years later.
alphamale Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 What was the strangest, weirdest or just most surprising thing you learned on a first date with someone? (and did you see them again?) that "she" had an adams apple
ashy555 Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 First date a guy told me he had a thing for girls in a school uniform... and he didnt understand how teachers control themselves. We laughed uncontrollably for the next 10 minutes!
Author oaks Posted June 18, 2011 Author Posted June 18, 2011 that "she" had an adams apple gulp! Did you speak to her on the phone before the first date?
Author oaks Posted June 18, 2011 Author Posted June 18, 2011 Talk about the elephant in the room! (For the record, I ultimately did acknowledge that I noticed he did not have legs ... ) Not wishing to mock the unfortunate man, but now I'm imagining you starting an awkward sentence with "I couldn't help but notice...."
EasyHeart Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Her: I come from a long line of 'circus-folk'. My great-grandfather was one of the most famous men in Europe when he brought his family and their act to America. They joined PT Barnum's circus, and my grandfather and father were also in the circus. My parents even met there. They aren't in the circus anymore, but we still keep the traditional family act alive. It's very important to us. Me: Really? That's amazing! What kind of act is it? Her: We're professional sword-swallowers. I dated her for 2.5 (happy, happy) years.
Cee Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 That guy (soon to be girl) was not my type (I'm straight!), but we ended up becoming real friends. Lucky for her, I helped a LOT with her personal style. She really needed a makeover! I still know her today, many hormones and a huge surgical change and more than 20 years later. I LOVE THIS! That story sounds straight out of Armistead Maupin's Tales of City. And I'm jealous that you live/lived in San Francisco. What an amazing, magical place.
welikeincrowds Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 It wasn't a fun date. Talk about the elephant in the room! (For the record, I ultimately did acknowledge that I noticed he did not have legs ... ) "So, um, I noticed that you don't have legs."
nyc_guy2003 Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 I'm glad at least one person has a nice story rather than "i met a freak". Ha yes. I should've put it into context too. When we first met she came across as a very conservative, straight-laced girl. She didn't even have an alcoholic drink on our first date. I was kind of disappointed since I wasn't looking for a goodie 2 shoes so when she broke out the topless story I was relieved.
alphamale Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) gulp! Did you speak to her on the phone before the first date? By now you should know a woman can have a visible adam's apple. well i met him/her in a restaurant bar and i was totally hammered and not paying attention. she was very attractive and gave me her phone number. her voice was feminine not masculine at all. so i called her and we went out on a date. then i figured it out from the adams apple, no hips, manly legs... oh well we live and learn. no i didn't go out with that person again... oh yea the other clue was for about three seconds her voice dropped a few octaves, i was like wtf??

alethean Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 I had a guy tell me that he had just had a sex dream about his brother. Yep, he was doing his brother in the dream. I must have looked horrified because he said, "I guess I shouldn't have told you that." There was no second date. Wow. Gross!!
ConfusedGuy28 Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 I learned that this girl was more interested I was going to be a doctor than me. I literally got quizzed for over an hour on Rheumatic Fever, and turns out she had it to. She told me her entire case, how it was diagnosed, etc. I was befuddled. Then after the date, she said "yeah, so I don't think you're my type" I walked away more befuddled, and laughed to myself. lol
NicoleM Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Strangest thing I ever learned was when he said my name is actually Tim but everyone calls me Josh. That was the weirdest thing I ever encountered ever!
thatone Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 i had a 35 year old date draw a blank when asked what she wanted to drink by a waiter (i volunteered the fact that i order alcohol at restaurants so she should feel free to get whatever she wanted). really? never been in a bar before, at 35? or worried that i would judge her for what she drank which sounds silly? don't know, never figured that one out. she was completely dumbfounded by "what can i get you to drink?"
