She drank several pomegranate martinis, and got pretty wasted, and told me she liked gifts, and ESPECIALLY diamonds, and told me then in graphic detail, how big she would like the diamond to be, how much it should cost and what it should look like.

The next day she denied all of this and said she did not remember saying any such things.

I asked very carefully if alcohol was a problem in her life and she denied that too.

This particular eHarmony chica and I are no longer an "item". This occurred about 2 months ago so the memory is still pretty fresh.

She is sui generis, or at least I hope she is; I wish her well and hope she finds someone to groove that rock onto her itchy leetle finger, but it won't be ME.

I remember a high school like it was yesterday, he was a friend of a friends and one afternoon out of the blue he called me up and asked if I wanted to go for ice cream at a new ice cream place that had just opened.

I was so excited and he was so... cute! He picked me up at dusk in his black souped up Chevy Nova, we shared a hot fudge sundae, I do not have a clue what we talked about and then we went to a record store and bought the just released Eagles 8 track Hotel California (dating myself here) We made out to the music and he was the best kisser back then and to this day.

He was the first one to run his tongue over my lips while kissing. Never forgot that one! Well it came time for me to be home so he drove me home and we started kissing again in my driveway. I should have know better... my grandpa was visiting us and saw me kissing this boy in the driveway, he came out of the house opened my door pulled me out of the car and started yelling at the guy. He drove off never to be seen or heard from again. Oh but the kisses will never be forgotten.

Okay, so some of us are old enough to remember Neil Armstrong, and some of us know better than to grow up, but who can tell us an example from his or her early relationship experience which you remember well today?

Oh man, not sure if I should even mention this, but I have been in a playful mood this last month.....So, screw it! lol

The only relationship that really has to go down 'into' the books was a woman I was seeing last year. She was 47 and successful. Lived in a gated community and we actually had alot in common! So much in fact it was freaky. We had alot of fun together. So, when her birthday came around I decided to do something alittle special for her. I rented a limo for us to go out on the town. I figured she can do what ever she liked and I can get her back nice and safe when the evening was over.

So, she wanted to go to this Steak / Seafood restaurant for dinner and off we went. The restaurant also had a Beatles Tribute band (I LOVE The Beatles) in the bar area playing later that evening and she suggested after dinner we would go to watch them. I said, "Tonight is your evening. Whatever you want." Of course I secretely enjoyed her decision... muhahaha!

She had the Salmon and I had the Steak accompanied by a nice Merlot and all was excellent. Conversation as usual. Laughs, smiles and a great atmosphere. We finished our meal and headed into the bar where the band was busy fine tuning their instruments.

She orders a Crown Royal on the rocks and I grab my usual Grey Hound. The band starts up and they are actual VERY good. As the evening continues she orders another Crown on the rocks. Of course this is her night and we have a safe ride home for the both of us. So, I think nothing of it. Besides, she's really getting into this Beatles band with this huge smile on her face.

Now she is 5' 3" and is athletic.. not much body fat on her. So, keep this mind. I excuse myself to go to the restroom and when I return she is sitting on the bar stool, but not moving. I find that she is passed out.. LOL

So, I give her a nudge and I smile to myself thinking, "OK, time to get her home". She wakes easily and says a few words. Then she leans into me and looks down toward my shoes. I think to myself, "Did I drop something?"..... She begins to vomit on my left leg and onto my shoes.....Salmon and all.

So, the band is playing. The place is packed with people with their elbows jabbing me in my ribs and my date is vomiting on my shoes. I think to myself, "Welp, its a done deal. Nothing I can do. Just need to let her finish. Then get her the hell out of here."

She finishes then leans back into her chair and promptly passes out. A small bit of Salmon on her lip as well. I look around...people are now noticing the smell, but the band is still rocking. I stomp my feet (don't want to slip you know) then I pick her up in my arms and carry her out. All the while navigating through the crowd of on lookers. I finally make it outside and the Limo driver opens the door and says, "Looks like a fun night, eh?"..... LOL

Next morning she apologized and was quite embarrassed. I told her, "Not to worry about it and that I have 'been there and done that' myself" I also told her, "It was your birthday, so you just let it all go." We laughed, but it bothered her for weeks. I guess she even went back and apologized to the owners and bartenders.

Just imagine the rest of the evening in that packed bar with the smell of vomit.........

For my 16th birthday, he got me the football jersey my NRL team were sporting at the time. Fast forward 18 years later and yes, I still have the jersey. It was the best gift I've been given by someone I was dating to date.

Of course, you were

So good to see you back here! And you are always welcome to visit the Moon. Just as long as it does not involve indelible dating or walking all over us

When you are ready, you can meet us at the Big Pond. I'm having a few problems logging in to planet eha from the moon at this stage, probably because some of the indelible posts are simply painful to read.

But I'm always happy to read whatever you are typing on that beautiful typewriter

There are tons that are sweet memories, but there are two that really stand out. First was when i was dating a transit cop in NYC and we did it down in the subway tunnels (Doh!). Second was also back in the NYC days - on our second date he gave me a leather and silver bracelet he bought because after the first date he couldn't stop thinking of me and thought it would look beautiful on me. (I still have and still wear it). Then on our one month anniversary (for a guy to think that's an anniversary was pretty huge!) we spent the day like children at the Bronx Zoo, had a picnic in Central Park and took a champagne moonlight cruise on a schooner around manhattan island. During the cruise it rain stormed and we had to wear these ugly yellow slickers. It was an incredible date! (we lasted a little over 3 years).

Ok so I grew up in a very small, rural town and I wasn't allowed to date until I was 16. So as a combination of the rule and the limited dating pool, I didn't date until college.

And I will always remember the first time I saw the guy who would end up being my first real relationship.

Some friends and I were coming back to our dorm and there is a hill that runs down the side of our dorm. Some guys had laid a tarp down it and had run a hose to it to make a modified slip and slide.

All of the guys were pretty cute and of course shirtless so I didn't mind stopping to watch!

Anyway, they got bored with just regular sliding, so this cute blond guy runs over and gets a traffic cone that was nearby for some reason and puts it down in the middle and they all start trying to slide down on their feet and jump over it, and they're relatively successful (i.e. no injuries).

Then the cute blond guy decides that two cones would make it even more fun and while he makes it over the first cone, he is not so successful on the second one and totally busts his head on the hill before sliding into the pavement.

Thankfully he was not seriously injured.

Later that night I saw him in the stairwell - they were going downtown - and he asked me to go with him. I said yes, I think more from curiosity and from having no reason to say no than anything, and then we proceeded to date for 2 years.

Moral of the story - incredible acts of stupidity can actually get you the girl - who knew?! And if nothing else he was always very good at making me laugh!

Oh and for the record he was an honor's student so actually not a completely foolish guy in general, and we're still friends to this day.
