Have any of you ever made a mistake on a date or with a new person you've been dating that had you mentally slapping your palm against your forehead? If so, what did you do - and what did it teach you?

A very long time ago when I was really young.

It was the end of the first date. We had just pulled up in front of the house. Down the steps came the guy I really liked.

We looked at each other. He sized up the situation and walked right on by. But I actually jumped out of the car and ran up the street after him.

And then I made my date drive him home.

I've made a real effort to treat people better since then.

One thing I do that is surely costing some second dates is always accepting her economic contribution. If she dumps me for that, good riddance. Another is complex discussions, such as politics and policy, which doesn’t work well with a lot of women. Disinterest in TV / family / celebrities sometimes leaves us nothing to talk about, but better to just end it there.
Whaaaaa? Not only do they have to be attractive but they have to have depth too? You can't have your cake and eat it too....at least that's what I've been told. If you want to eat clams then sometime you gotta eat some sand...wow, that was soooo Zen of me.

p.s.




p.p.s. I figured everytime you use one of those you get $1 or an angel get their wings or something like that. Best I can figure why your posts are always loaded with them.

Not quite what the OP is looking for, but in college, I think I missed some opportunities for dates because I was terrible at picking up the subtle hints that women offer up. At that point in my life, I probably wasn't going to pick up on the fact that a girl liked me until she ripped off her clothes and hit me with a clue-by-four.

I've gotten better since then, but there are still days....

Um... don't laugh.

At some point, fairly early on, I have to explain that I am the only woman in the history of my union local to ever have been accused of sexual harassment.



I can't just avoid the subject (I was falsely accused, and everyone at work knows it... now) because the guys at work tease me about it constantly, and a few of them are my friends outside of work as well. It's been a long-running source of amusement for them, and it inevitably comes up, so I need to do some 'splaining before it does.
