| What was I thinking? Updated |

| Movie date this afternoon. Committed to it earlier in the week when I was convinced Hot Stud was toast. Not sure why exactly I agreed to go with him. (I'm a sucker for scuba divers). He's a career military guy (brings up some bad memories of another that fits that bill). He's being re-deployed to Iraq in August. Not exactly conversationally adept on the phone. (Never know - might be more lively in person). And to make it worse, I have to sit thru MI:3. I hate, absolutely hate movies for dates. I like to talke to get to know someone and having them pass the popcorn doesn't exactly cut it for me. But, you never know. Update: decided to do the aquarium instead. The date couldn't end fast enough - everything was negative out of his mouth. He said "The aquarium in Okinawa is three times as big as this one". To which I replied, "that's interesting, as this is the world's largest." X aquarium's sharks are bigger, better organized, blah blah blah. I think I can understand why he's been in town for six months and hasn't made any friends. |

I'm sorry, but that made me LAUGH. What is it with one-upmanship in dates?! There are some people who just don't know when to shut up.

I had to laugh at the story. I remember some real "duds" from way back...
Some things in life never change and some guys never get any smarter.

i couldn't agree more with movies being a bad 1st date. i like putt putt or darts something "competative" that still allows for talking. you get to see how seriously they take themselves and how bad their temper can be... not that i should have to worry about any 1st dates for awhile i hope!

Don't want to see a guy's competitive side in the beginning - would rather have something low-key where you can actually sit and talk - but still have the ability to get the hell outta dodge if it sucks. (like mine). Hence, my preference to coffeehouses. Second date - still like to get to know them - maybe hiking, picnic, rollerblading, jetting off to Tahiti... LOL

He's available - happy to hook him up with any single (insane) female friends of yours.

I like something competitive too... something where I can show just how good I am and how bad she is at something... ya know, just to show her who's "the man" in the relationship right from the get-go. Then, when I beat her at whatever the game is, I call her "loser" or " just a woman."
(I've never had a second date, but if I ever do, it'll be so cool, cuz, ya know... she'll know her place.)

I imagine you get a lot of putt-putt golf clubs thrown at you. Oh Surr, we *must* work on your technique!

Don't the guys down there know that they must get their facts straight when making comments like that about aquariums? Jesus.

It wasn't that he had his facts wrong - he dissed everything - from how the lines were set up, to how the flow of the people were walking, to the moving sidewalk was too slow, to the (Wolfgang Puck) ham sandwich he ate... He's just one of those people that won't ever be happy. I made a point of listening to one, just one, non-negative statement out of his mouth. Didn't happen.

Ish! I can't stand totally negative people! Put a smile on! I definatly agree that something that facilitates conversation is definatly a must for the first few dates.

If you'd told me you were planning on heading out with an Army guy, I could have saved you the time and told you to stay home with some Haagen-Daaz.

He removed me from his myspace friend list. I'm sooooo crushed. LOL
Haagen-Daz? I think not. I'm still on lemon-water and cran-water.
