So....there is this really attractive one - Hope. We tease...we flirt...we dance. Then kaboom - she lower the axe and it's clear she wants a Jerry Fawell wanna be. I am so clear that I accept anyone's spiritual needs - but, I'm an agnostic. It's not indifference....I'm a fairly smart guy and I don't buy into any ideology...but, I will support the answer that fulfills anyone. We all have our needs and our own answers. Love means supporting and not judging.

So - share your horror dating stories.

I had one guy that wrote me a scathing email after the election that was filled with bigotry ranting, in this day and age? We went out a few times, pleasant, but after that email I scattered like a cockroach. Another guy told me he was married while in the middle of the date, after a friend of his vouched he was divorced, reason he was still married his wife just got out of Federal prison and he was try to get out of debt 300 grand, i didn't want any more information, I really ran after that one, good thing I workout.

My 42 year old daughter confirms 'they are all crazy'. She says the trick is to find one whose craziness one can live with.

From my perspective, whether a man ends up with a nest egg or a goose egg largely depends on the chick he marries!

Blind date for dinner. His ex comes into restaurant. He gets up to talk to her. Says he's sorry but he has to try again. Leaves me his credit card to pay for the meal and take a cab home. I looked at him, I looked at the card (AmEx platinum) and went to town. Ordered champagne ($150), wine for surrounding tables ($400), $100 tip for waiter, cab ride from Lafayette (about 6 miles from house) to San Francisco, Marin County and home that way ($375). Seemed fair to me.

OK - 2 funny ones from Chicago.

Date 1 - We corresponded a great deal and shared all about the other (or so I thought). I took her to dinner at a classic Chicago joint. It becomes totally clear right after the salad that she hates me because I'm not Greek. I said if you wanted a Greek guy why pick me to play with - she said "I thought you might be Greek because you're funny. I was amazed. I said - "Jews are funny. The Irish are funny. The English are droll. As a group, Greeks aren't funny...comedy to Greeks is the absence of tragedy." Kaput went the date.

Date 2. She contacted me and flirted like mad and asked how I felt about dating tall girls. I said, "I love to slow dance with them especially when they wear heels." We met at a rib joint. Her first comment was I had a "gay car" (it's a red Rav4). I didn't know how to respond - actually - her disdain for the word "gay" made me feel dirty just dining with her. Finally I said, "When I bring the car into the mechanic - what they do together is their business...as long as the car runs the next morning....all is good with me." Date = kaput.

A ladyfriend invites me to her house for dinner and for a hottub after. In the middle of dinner, her boyfriend comes in (he apparently lives there and I know him) and says hello to both of us and watches tv. I left before it got any stranger!

Three 'Internet' Dating TRUE Stories:

My Story:
Meet at Bar. Over first drink she informs me her ex-boyfriend is a hit man for the Mafia. I ask how she knows this. She says "He has a gun and a bullet wound in his shoulder". I am startled and ask if she sees his car around the bar. No, she says, he has a day job ... as a pharmacist. Check please!

Michelles Story:
Michelle is a 6'2" redhead. Has minimum height standard of 6'5" for her dates. Meets a guy at a bar. He stands up and is way shorter than her - about 5'6". He asks "How tall are you? I'm 6'6" tall. You must be 7 foot tall at least" She mumbles apology and leaves. Of course 5'6" is 66".

Suzies Story:
Suzie meets her date at Denny's. On his profile under "What is the first thing people notice about you?", he responded with "My beautiful wavy hair" - unusual since most answers are 'My smile' or 'I'm tall' etc ... Upon entering Denny's she can tell he is wearing a toupee from across the diner. She is expecting him to rip off the toupee, exposing his "beautiful wavy hair" and have a good laugh at the joke. He does not.

Boy am I glad I am happily married. I don't think I could go through all this high school stuff again. I feel for you having to deal with this.

I do not remember why, but when I was in my 20s I was corresponding with a guy I hadn't met. It was all very jokey and he sent funny letters and cards with sketches and comic doodles. When we decided to meet, he came over for our first date wearing ...





a clown suit.
