What was worse - that she worked in a dress shop, or that she made chipmunk noises? And what did you do to make her get excited on your first date?

Worst first date? A total disconnect from the guy 'on line' to the guy 'in the flesh', and I don't mean the physical side I mean the 'mental side'. On line, witty, engaged, charming and interesting - in the flesh, kinda dull, self-centred, boorish and stubborn. It was so unbelievable, I kept thinking I was 'missing something' or had 'made a perceptual mistake' so kept 'at it' ... . Several months later, silly moi. On line he IS witty, engaging, charming and interesting. In the flesh he IS kinda dull, self-centred, boorish and stubborn. Go figure. Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde? AND, I later discovered, he has mental HEALTH problems ... he CLAIMS he is Alexythmic, suffers from nacrolepsy, was abused as a kid, etc. etc. etc. Took me a little while to 'recover' from THAT one ... Phew.

while, he waited to have me hooked on a first date to tell me he was actually going through a painful divorce, and not yet totally divorced, I didn't hear about the RESTRAINING orders until the first date.

During a romantic candle light dinner he looks over at meand smiles and says, "I have a confession,I'm not actually divorced, yet. It's a work in progress. But I'm moving out next week. "Yikes.

These are all pretty good suggestions on what to say if you don't want a second date without hurting the other person's feelings.

I must confess that whenever I see my neighbor's oh so very adorable large Australian Shepherd, I always want to kidnap it. Perhaps if the neighbor doesn't live across the street from me, I may do it.
