At my age, the dating pool is more like a swamp.

I'm more likely to be abducted by an alien than find someone to date. I don't even think I could tolerate dating at this stage of my life.

Darn! I was hoping it would get better again by your age, when all the nice divorcees are finally free of child support responsibilities and are back out on the dating scene. I'm at that age when most of the single men are still single because there really is something broken about them, the divorced men are still reeling from the divorce and alimony and child support payments, so can't afford to do anything but work constantly, and the married men are still clinging to the hope to stay together until their children are a bit older.

I think we need to get out of the middle of the country and back to the coasts. There still seems to be a good dating scene in the big cities where people put their careers first and delay settling down.

The worse date I recall, started out good. A new linen dress with matching sandals, dinner at a exclusive Italian eatery, drinks and dancing on the beach. I guess I underestimated how many drinks this guy had, cause at the end of the night, laying on a blanket under a perfect starry sky, he sat up, and threw up all over my lap, {new dress} as I jumped up it ran down my leg on to my new sandals.

He never got a second date.

See? I told magpies it could get worse! :biggrin:

I was playing craps in a casino once when I was about 25. A woman next to me began asking all kinds of questions about how to play the game. Next thing I know, she starts rubbing her knee suggestively against mine. That wouldn't have been such a bad thing if she had been closer to my age and hadn't looked exactly like my grandmother.

Wow...just, wow.

The worst I've heard of prior to reading this thread is people going on dates in video games. But getting vomited on definitely tops the list so far.

Once on a 1st date when I was 22 I told a chick that if aliens came to Earth they wouldn't be able to tell the difference between male and female humans right away except that females wear make-up, kind of like we can't tell the difference in male and female Gorillas right away. Well I didn't get a 2nd date.

Worst date? having nothing to talk about, why? because attractive girl doesn't dig you so she does not want to help you.

No matter how shy a girl is if she likes you she will help you.

Running out of conversion definably leads to a stale evening. That doesn't just apply to dates.

OMG that is gross times a thousand! I wish this never happened to you. OMG I would have thrown some Zest in the ocean and jumped in! *faints* But that is even more gross because then the vomit would be floating around O<M<G I feel nauseous. *signs off*

It wouldn't be a nastiest thing floating around that I can think of.

Thank you for that imagery.

On the other hand, it could have happened on a beach in the Gulf.

I was at a Led Zeppelin concert. That cute guy I liked was there. Apparently he did a hit of heroine, threw up, felt better, came back and kissed me.

I asked a really cute girl out (red hair, heart-shaped face, very toned body), and she asked if I could bring someone along for her sister to go out with. I said "sure" and brought my best friend. What I didn't know was that her older sister had designs on me. I didn't know her, but if you play in bands, lots of people get to see you whom you don't know. The younger sister conspired to hook me up with the older sister, and she had absolutely no interest in my friend. The whole date was an absolute waste of time, with the older sister clinging to me like a morning-glory vine, and the object of my attention just "along for the ride". Teenaged girls can come up with some really Byzantine traps. The older sister was quite pretty, too, but I was smitten by the red-head.

Massive vomit slick caused by a leaking vomit well under the ocean?

So...the older sister should have smote you?

All jokes aside though, that is not cool. I don't understand how she thought it would work,,,and why would the sister still want you if she knows you are attracted to her sister?...oddddd

Li'l sis was doing a favor for big sis. I guess they had discussed me prior to my asking her out and the older one really wanted to date me. Eventually, I dated the younger one a bit, but by that time, I was in college and had other fish to fry. Very odd situation.

Apropos from Dr Gregory House:
The slutty party girl is fun until she pukes on her shoes -- then she's just a pain in the ***.

Dinner with a guy that I had liked for soooo long. He is a prof in the math department at the school I'm getting my second degree at, so he was off limits while I took my first intro courses. Partway through, he started looking kind of pale and sweaty. I asked if he was OK and he insisted he was fine. Not too long after, he sort of started sitting oddly and holding his side. Then it hit me: "wow, he looks kinda like one of my patients that comes in with kidney stones!" (I'm an ER nurse)

Sure enough... I was like, not to be weird, but have you been having blood in your urine lately?" Nice, right? He didn't answer me, and I was like, "that's it, you have kidney stones. We're going to the ER!"

Fast-forward to me attempting to drive his stick shift (with lots of jerking back and forth, him howling in pain) I texted a doctor that I work with in the ER and said I was bringing him in and would start an IV on him for morphine if he would be so kind as to come take a look at him and maybe order a renal ultrasound.

The night ended with me having to call his mom and explain that he was at the hospital while he slept off the morphine. Bonus: at least my diagnosis was correct.

So, was there a 2nd date?

That's technique #718 from the guy's dating manual to get a woman to take her clothes off at the end of the evening:)

Did you even bother to check my post against your manual before saying this? I would never divulge information from the real manual . . . but maybe the throwing up idea should be added.

January 28, 1996. I'm too young for November 22, 1963.
I'm not- I actually was on a date on November 22, 1963. Kind of a bummer.

But January 28, 1996? You were a Pittsburg Steelers fan? Not exactly the same thing!

Surely you are not too young to remember Sept. 11, 2001!

(Yes, I understand you are using the word "date" in a completely different sense.)
