What's the *strangest* date you've had?
November 27th 2007 04:56
Dates…can be daunting but exciting, hopeful or hopeless. Despite it all, we go through the motions of getting a date, going on a date…and perhaps hoping there’ll be more dates in the future which may lead to somewhere.
Majority of us have a date story or two to tell. Whether good or bad, boring or exciting…there usually is an aspect of it that stuck in the memory lobe – perhaps to serve as a warning bell for the next potential *strange* date.
I’ve had my fair share of never again (here), and some lovely ones (here)
As for Elise, my ever gregarious friend who on most occasions than not attract the *strange* ones have a few stories to share.
Her first account was one of her dates with a top management consultant (whom she has been on a few dates prior). The evening started with drinks at a trendy bar downtown, where conversation and drinks flowed. Fast-forward to post-dinner, a nite-cap at his apartment…which ended-up in bed, and a strange request just before they fell asleep. He (rather adamantly): Please…one of our body parts must be touching. I need to feel you – no, he didn’t mean it in a romantic sort of way. Elise said she’s never been that freaked-out before, as much as with the request but also at how adamant, and woeful he looked…
On another date, her date – after one too many drinks – fell asleep on her…literally!
These stories are probably enough to put-off a novice dater, however, you’ve got to live a little…experience it, and then you’ll be able to weed-out the *strange* ones. Any “dates of wisdom” to share?

One of the most uncomfortable (yet funny) dates I had many years ago - was when I a girl actually asked me if I'd go out with her.
Sure, I thought.
Nice girl, intelligent, good looking, well spoken - the whole box and dice it would seem and her suggestion of going to a party and then dancing appealed too.
So, having picked her up from her place - she handed me a slip of paper with the address of where the party was being held.
Well to cut a long story short - the 'party' was actually a fund raiser at a Synagogue - while the concept of dancing the night away to the wee small hours was replaced by a bush dance of sorts with 'moi '- being the only gentile among a group of approx 100 others (mostly over the age of 50) of the Jewish faith.
Hardly the night of clubbing, laughter and good times - this then 20-year-old was expecting.
Dinner was interesting enough - but when stares and whispers eventually evolved into question time about so and so's new boyfriend (this was our first date) then I realised that this was one was going to be chalked up to experience.
Needless to say . . . one bitten twice shy.
Who knows Iwhat waits I thought to myself at the time.
Next I might get asked to accompany her to a wedding - only to find out when I got there that it was my own
Ah the trials and tribulations of youth
Cheers

What a *scary* first date, MNG! It would've been interesting to see what the 2nd date could've been

Anyway, this guy tried to be gallant and catch the vicious creature, but he kept missing it... and well, if he can't catch a moth, how's he going to go protecting me from spiders and cockroaches and stuff?
Lol.
No, I didn't really stop seeing him because of that. He couldn't catch the moth AND he had no sense of humour. Terrible.

hhhhmmm some interesting dates mentioned here! I suppose the only bizarre one I have really had was going on a blind date to a dance. The day before the dance said guy rang me up to ask which of two shirts I thought he should wear (I didn`t realise we were girlfriends?)
Then we got to the dance and after half an hour of meeting he had found a rose and was kneeling on the dancefloor with the rose between his teeth serenading me. No. NO. NOOOO! Out the door buster!
