Good Restaurants, Bad Dates

i had a date like this that was pointing out all the overweight women in the restaurant saying terrible things like they should have someone decide what they should be able to eat and then take it away. Luckily, for me this restaurant was two blocks away from my house so I just told him I was going to go to the bathroom and I left.

YOU GO GIRL!!!! Men have a way of being huge jerks. But if your like me we will keep on hunting for a good one. Good luck to you. LaDonna -137

I probably would have whipped out my handy-dandy BEFORE picture and slid it under his nose, and said, "Did she look something like this???" He'd say something like, "Well, that's not her but geez, what a pig!" I'd say, "Really? That's me 10 months ago." I'd watch him sweat for a minute and then I'd add, "What's the matter? Guess it's not my good side, huh?" all the while staring calmly into his beady little eyeballs. Then I'd enjoy his flaming red face and his squirmmy little ass (sorry folks but I'm not feeling nicey-nicey right now) and I'd tell him to choke on what's left of his dinner. THEN I'd walk away, sashaying my cute little fanny as I went -- well, not so cute naked but he'll never know... Connie, when he comes along...the right one...you'll know it and boy, he's gonna know he hit the jackpot with you. Can't wait to hear those stories. Reenie

ahhh man sister what a JERK! ALTHOUGH I think the idea of the column is FABULOUS! Do it! That guy can be your first story, then mail him a copy of it! what a jerk! UGH! well, hey at least ya got a good couple a meals from one really crappy experience! keep dating I love the dating idea! Of course I am married so I don't get to date but...it sounds like fun! LOL HUGS, Nic 291-165-145

Ahhh...I am the queen of bad dates. We could write a book together. It sounds like this one had a "whale" of a personality. My response probably would have been "...well, the whale could get thin some day, but you'll always be obnoxious..." Amazing how they see flaws in other, but not themselves. I never tell guys about my WLS...none of their business. I am what I am. Of course, if I got into a relationship I would talk about it, but when I first meet someone I'm somewhat reserved about that. My favorite was the guy who INSISTED I taste his dessert and shoved a forkful of pecan pie in my face, which I spit into a napkin. The look on his face was priceless. The good news is that I met the man of my dreams...just waiting for his battle scars to heal from his last divorce...then God help him, he's mine. We've been good friends for about 3 years now, so he's seen the transformation. We keep getting closer and closer, so I know it's coming. I'll keep you posted!

Joan, Keep us posted so I can live vicariously through you. I'm trying to play the dating game like a good grwon up, but it exhausts me. I hate wasting my time. Connie

I hate the dating game too....every first date feels like a job interview to me. As my (married) girlfriend says....at least get a good meal out of it. I'm laughing because the guy emailed you back and thought the date went well, even though you walked right out of the place on him! I saw my "future" love last night at our every other friday night poetry reading. The man makes me swoon, what can I say? It is a strange situation, though. He is my daughter's teacher, 11th grade theater arts class. Living in a small town, tongues are wagging. My daughter is giving me mixed messages on how she feels about the friendship. Luckily, he is her favorite teacher, and she knows and likes his children. My ducks are in a row, I just have to wait for them to quack. Impatiently yours, Joan

With these guys and the dates you've been on...(sounds so interesting and well... fun!) even if some are jerks. I feel a booking comming along from you soon....
