Ok, date last night, SO many one-liners. This is just a sample...
Me: "I really loved Brokeback Mountain. It definitely lived up to the reviews - it was excellent."
Him: "I'm not going to see a movie about a couple gays."
Me: "Oh, you have a dog? He sounds cute..."
Him: "He kills squirrels. Its' a good thing you dont' have a cat. Because I was telling this one girl I dated, my dog would definitely kill her cat. It's what dogs do."
(He was offended that the poor cat owner wouldn't go out with him again!)
Me: "So, it must be interesting to own your own business and deal with employees."
Him: "They are all liars and cheats. You can't trust anyone." He then went on to describe an employee who was a victim of domestic violence and said "See, that's the quality of person I'm dealing with." (At that point, I seriously considered bailing, but he'd paid for tickets to something expensive and I felt bad).
He asked if I'd been to a particular chain restaurant, and when I said no, he's like "Oh, I'll take you to Bonefish." Like I couldn't afford it on my own - I was a FOOD WRITER. I've been to better places than Bonefish ON MY OWN. And he might have been making some sort of pun...
Finally, he quizzed me about my student loan debt and asked TWICE how many kids I wanted.
And, to make the evening worse, halfway through the event, I looked over and the guy I actually have a crush on, that makes me babble about apples and dental hygiene (see previous post) was sitting two rows up! Y'all, I am staying indoors the rest of the weekend. Just wanted to share.
Ha I'm sorry you had such a jerk for a date, but you did give me a chuckle.
Ditto. That sucks, but man, is that hillarious! He probably sits at home wondering why he isn't married yet, totally oblivious to the fact that his social skills are appalling.
Sorry you had such a crappy time. If I had a nickle for every bad date I had been on....All you can do is laugh it off.
At least he took you out. I once went on a blind date and the guy showed up with no money and wanted me to buy him drinks. He was not cute at all and all he talked about was Japanese anime porn. Needless to say I left early.
I'm trying to picture you with a straight face through all of this and not saying anything. I think I would have gone to the bathroom and never come back.
Oh Dizzy, what a terrible date! But funny - at least, most of it - in a wry humor kind of way. I'm sorry it wasn't a better time for you.
This, though, is unreal:
He then went on to describe an employee who was a victim of domestic violence and said "See, that's the quality of person I'm dealing with
This is a hot button of mine and if a date had ever said something like that to me, I would have seriously had to set him straight - or leave. That kind of crap is not acceptable.
Hoping your next date is with the guy you like! Or someone comparable. *s*

I'm so sorry that you had to go through this, but I was laughing at your date. Sorry, but that's some funny crap....reminds me that I was going to write a book about horrible dates.....

You are hilarious! That guy sounds like a complete tool. I love it! If you don't get yourself to a Hermes 3000 (to quote Larry McMurty), I will lash you with a code book.
he needs to live in a place where the girls have lower standards and don't really expect gentlemanly behavior. he would be a catch in a place like that.
