Uggg, the nightmares of dating.  I went out with a guy who kept bragging about being a Div 1 college runner...the guy was 44 years old!

A few weeks ago I had a date who actually picked me up!  Walking out of the restaurant i offered to drive him to his car (it was raining and he was parked a few blocks away), so he thanks me and says "where are you parked?"  I point about 30 yards away and he says "great, I will give you a lift to your car!" and bends down and throws me over his shoulder and carried me to my car!

This week, had a really nice date.  At the end he says "I don't mean to sound creepy but can I touch your quads?  I've just never seen such solid, impressive legs"  Doesn't everyone know the rule....if you begin a sentence "I don't mean to sound creepy"....means YOU SOUND CREEPY!!!

Let's see, if I was born in '68....carry the 2....yeah that would make me.....uh oh.

I wasn't even a division 1 runner. Why do I suddenly feel the need to pick up some Just For Men on the way home tonight?

Ok, I usually don't share all that much here, cause different strokes for different folks.....and I realize that everyone is not going to be best date/match ever but this one is worth a mention. 

Met on a professional site, not all that different than any other site but I have found (with heavy weeding out) a few very nice, professional, educated men here.  One guy whom I dated for over a year and some which have become good friends or business connections.

First of all, this was the first time I did not reconize the guy from his pictures, yes he was a tad bit rough, and much older than I had expected.....but I try to get something postitive out of every meeting and learn something.  Met at a nicer place for Thai food, I was dress in business apparel, he was dressed in avg street clothes, and gym shoes.....I was still ok.  Then I went to greet him at the table and he stood (very nice) but then when I went to sit, he said stand up again and let me take a good look at you and said I was a nice size. WTF?!?  I sat quickly and thought oh crap this is going to be a long one. 

Then he said takes a good look at ME and said "Do you reconize me?"  Again I am worried and puzzled, he reached for his phone.  He then shows me a video from the 80's (I was like 5) and there he was in a bud light commericial, very well kept and athletic looking, just like his pictures. I am now worried this guy does not realize that it is 20 years later? At this point I am ready for the date to be over, but we have not ordered yet.  So I flag the waitress skip drinks and go right to ordering. He said wow, you must be hungry.  I shook my head politely and said I had not eaten all day.  

The conversation was a tad bit ackward and painful, but I can make it for another hour or so.....right.

I ask him what was the last vacation he was on and he miss heard me and answered what medications he was on........scary again!!!

By the time dinner came I took a couple of bites and was ready for the check.  I signaled to the waitress again and the check arrived.  I was done, so the waitress asked if I wanted my left overs to go, I said 'no".  The date was quick to respond and said, "I will take her left over", pack them up to go!  REALLY!?! 

So with the check still on the table he started telling me how athletic he is and how people still reconize him....blah blah blah.  At this point I say it was pleasure to meet him and I don't see this working in the future.  Put money towards the bill and excused myself. 

HonoluluAngel - 2012-12-11 2:20 PM I had what I thought was an awesome 3 hr dinner date w a guy 9 yrs my senior. We had tons in common and were conversing nicely. He drove me home and shook my hand. Then I pulled him close and kissed him on the lips very quick. 1. Did the offered hand shake mean he's not really interested?2. Was I being too fwd on initiating the kiss?There is a 2nd date in 2 days, but is a sports activity. I'm really interested on this guy so I don't wanna blow it.

turtlegirl - 2012-12-11 7:53 PM I knew Ive got the cat and x horse. Pretty in keeping with all the other adult single females at my barn that fawn all over the farrier and vet when they come. Seriously guys, you want your pick of women, take up horseback riding.

My friend told to break out my golf clubs to meet guys.

NRG42 - 2012-12-12 9:51 AM

TRUE - but they jugde you on your stroke! 

AbbieR - 2012-12-12 11:54 AM

Haha, well played! Maybe I just need to play in a little black dress and heels and they wont be concerned about the stroke

It was tee'd up nicely :-) 

Visor and short skirt seems to be the right look out there.  But its a lot of pressure cause they all notice when there's a new women on their greens.

Another approach is to just hit the club house for a drink.  Until someone wants to show me how to handle the club, its the safest place for me.

Based on my latest round of dates, event he non-golfers better know how to handle their club
