Posted: 9/24/2009 11:44:11 AM | Msg1: I am sorry of your bad experience on dating this girl , I bet you only knew her for a short time personally . It really has nothing to do with high maintenance women it is more on good character and education.. You can thank your guardian angels that nothing bad happened to you,her and your car...
As a woman I always meet my date on the appointed time and place, a man could do that too ,unless you are living together... | |

Posted: 9/24/2009 11:44:42 AM | Well this story sounds absolutely surreal.
If it was me, I would have kicked her out of my car if she tried to mess with my keys.
Mind you my car is stick shift so she wouldn't have been able to throw it into Park. Matter of fact, on the model of car I have (Saab), you can't take the key out unless you put the thing in reverse which would be really hard to do while moving and without me cooperating by pushing down the clutch.
So I guess the morals of this story are:
1. Avoid girls who are high maintenance
2. Drive a car with stick shift
Now my question to you Trevor is... how was she when you guys saw each other at work the next day? | |

Posted: 9/24/2009 4:35:34 PM | Jesus, tough room!! Y'all are accusing the Opie of fabricating this story because "blah blah blah (list reason of choice here) ". The fact is NONE of you were there. He told us about a bad dating experience. Why oh why does everyone always have to rip the Opie to shreds? In the 3+ years I've had a profile on here, I've started 3 threads. Why? Well, for this very reason. You go looking for advice, or just want to share an experience, and people jump all over you. Absolutely disgusting.
OT: Shitty experience you had Opie. I can imagine that at the time, when you're in the situation, it's difficult to react..who expects such behavior from a grown woman? And to those who said they would have just thrown her out of the car..I don't think most of you would. Would she have deserved it? Certainly. But most of are raised to be civil, even in situations such as this.
And to the dude patting himself on the back..a little premature darlin'. The only one I see trying to garner attention in this thread is YOU. The Opie did indeed identify the make/model and year of his car, as others have pointed out. You just made yourself look like an ass.
For the record? The last 2 vehicles I have owned, you can easily remove the key from the ignition when it is in operating mode. Both vehicles were late '90's models.
Glad to hear you've suffered no ill effects Opie, nor did your car. A new tranny is a painful touch. Good luck in the future darlin'.

Posted: 9/24/2009 5:42:21 PM | Thanks breathless! I appreciate that. Some people in these forums may actually be seeking some genuine advice from time to time, but instead, get nothin but posters lookin to showcase themselves with arrogance and ridicule in their responses. That's too bad. Im not lookin for advice or help from others. Just thought something that had happened to me would be fun for others to read about. If you don't believe it, cool. Its alright :)
And for the record, i have a buddy who's car is able to be in drive and have the keys completely taken out without anything happening at all. It continues goin as though nothin happened. Shall we all call BS on that as well? Now im no mechanical engineer, as all of a sudden so many here apparently are, but i can tell ya with no agenda that this indeed did happen. If i was lookin to simply create a story for attention, why would i not spice it up and say it caused an accident, i was injured, maybe called the cops and had her put in jail. Hell, i dont know? I tell the story as it happened. | |

Posted: 9/24/2009 7:17:53 PM | I once had a 87 Plymouth Reliant that I had to throw into park at about 40 - 45 MPH to avoid hitting the car in front of me due to brake failure... tranny did not catch til after I hit that car.
Mythbusters did the episode where they threw a Crown Vic into park to dry to stop it... it kept on rolling. (Now, the one with the speed camera... they couldn't outrun it, but the guys on Top Gear did do it. Basically, you have to be going 170+MPH.)
Now... I do know on some vehicles that if you can get the tranny into neutral or park while it's moving, you can get the ignition key out... and it's a dangerous thing to do because your steering gets locked.
(These days, I drive an '05 Dodge Magnum... I will NOT try any of the above in it!!!)
Some of y'all need to check the negativity towards the OP at the door before coming in as your reading comprehension seems to be sorely lacking.
A woman who dresses classy does NOT equal high-maintenance. He had already said that she had not shown signs of craziness prior to said mishap and that they had been dating for a while already.
Said date got off lucky... she would have had to find her own way home if she even tried to pull that crap in my car. | |

I kind of already did, but ill say again with a little more detail. I was worried she was going to pull some sort of BS with HR, so i made sure to try and speak with her before Monday came around. I managed to have a civil conversation with her. Didnt go as i would have liked, but it wasnt yelling and screaming. She didnt feel as though she had done anything to apologize for, which i obviously disagreed with. (She knew she had done some horrible shit, i know it...but she was on a power trip). It was evident that she was fairly embarrassed about her actions, and asked that the incident be kept between us and not told to others at work. I preferred it that way myself. Why wouldnt i? She is a single mother of one, with no real help from others. Her job is her only real lifeline. I dont think she wanted to take a chance at making a claim and possibly ruining her reputation at work. We've kept it professional, fortunately. Awkward, but that'll fade in time....i hope.
And to be honest, i would date someone from work again. In fact, this must have been the 3rd or 4th relationship ive had that started as coworkers. I dont see it as so taboo like many others do. If you meet someone you're genuinely interested in, im not gonna not pursue them just cause they work with me. Millions of marriages started as coworkers. Where i meet someone makes no difference to me. Sometimes people simply do a good job at hiding who they really are until they cant hide it any longer. For whatever reason, she showed me who she really was that night. Better then than later...just preferably not while in my car lol
And there is nothin wrong with average 'folk'! Like i said in the OP, i realize my preferences need to change ;) | |

Posted: 9/24/2009 9:12:28 PM | Trevor thanks for the answer we all have looked foward to reading.Im going to throw in two more cents though.You are right...many people meet at work and many divorces happen because people at work dont just work while they are there...lol
Just make sure they are single,average,sane and dont work in the same dept....Im glad you are rethinking your "what you look for in a woman".
You're alright.A man that would not kick a crazy outta his car and actually be kind enough to drive her home after this....totally awesome guy!
Off subject,Trevor,but check out the post about Im scared Ive contacted a weirdo...I responded to it so you can find it thru me.Funny stuff there.
Best wishes!! | |

Posted: 9/25/2009 12:19:19 AM | Trev,
You handled it in a good way, way to go. But I will say, wasn't a relationship with her -- just a try-out. :) Big difference, especially when it comes to inter-office situations.
I don't think it's taboo if done the right way. It depends on the size (hence space) of the company, and how you approach it. You don't run with things the same way you would if say, you had insta-chemistry with some gal at a bar... you get to know them so you know what some possible pitfalls may be.
Of course, due to your situation, I think you've learned that you can get a bit ahead of yourself -- so that's NOT what you want to do in a work environment, and I think that's why there's the stigma of never-do-that-at-work. You fell into that trap. As long as you learn and look over your shoulder in that "testing the waters" situation, you should be okay.

Work = big head trumps small head. | |

I honestly don't know what to tell u at this point. What i described in my original post happened. Whether you believe it or not makes no difference to me. Although, i will say, im a little confused as to how someone like yourself has become so passionate about this lil ole' thread. Your upcoming post will be so fantastic, that you had to give it a prelude post to let us know it was coming? lol I only shared the story because i thought it would be entertaining for others to hear.
That was so damn sharp, you had me crackin' up! lmao

Trev darling...one of these times it will backfire on you. I hate to tell you that. You need to widen your dating pool and realize that some companies will institute a no fraternizing rule because people tend to have bad date endings and then have to look at each other.
GF wasn't embarassed--she was probably pissed you were fronting her off about everything! And as a single mom, God help her child.
Also...for some of the car naysayers...I had a minor fender bender last year in my 99 Grand Am. Guess who got hit hard enough that her keys fell out of her ignition...WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE???? I got ready to pull to the side of the road and couldn't figure out what the Hell had happened. Weird crap can and does happen with cars. Not defending Trevor just sying that shyt happens. | |

Posted: 9/25/2009 5:12:19 AM | How can you yank the keys out of the car while it's in Drive? I don't think mine will do that, and you have to press a lever to get the keys out even in Park. And I thought in most cars you have to be pressing on the brake to put the car in park or to shift to any other gear?
I'd send her the repair bill, in any case. Of course all while holding your breath.
Absolutely beautiful, career oriented and a little high maintenance. Just how i like em'!
You might want to rethink this. | |

FINALLY someone gets it!! I cannot understand why people think that if one dresses well that one is a **** nor high maintenance .
But some people just don't have any idea and need to justify being slobs. | |

Posted: 9/25/2009 7:55:47 AM | Now, see.. If you had'a just bought her the shirt none of the drama that followed would have taken place .. 
Next time, picture her with nothing else on but the shirt and her heels, it'll take the sting outta doing what she demands .. 
*She says with sarcasm* | |

| She threw my car into park...
Posted: 9/25/2009 8:13:53 AM | | I dated her and her sisters. It was a recurring pattern in my life until I accepted that it was my choices that were getting me into those situations and made a conscious effort to change. Hot, feisty and dangerous can be exciting. Pride and risky behavior still turn me on. But it isn’t something you want to live with. If you have to go there, take precautions. Women like that can destroy your life in a hurry. | |

Posted: 9/25/2009 8:37:04 AM | OP, she's your exec. admin? So she's your employee. You should've known she was high maintenance and a diva. That must've been apparent in the office.  | |

Uh, what advice were you looking for? You didn't ask for any. You just wanted an audience for your little story. She was a dummy if she thought someone who took her to Cheesecake would able to buy her a new wardrobe. That's the part that doesn't add up. | |

Either you're completely blind, or your reading comprehension is a disaster. Good Lord! Did i not just say in the quote of mine that YOU highlighted, that i was not looking for advice or help from others? I simply shared the story because it was supposed to be fun for others to read about. I mentioned that OTHER people may be lookin for advice in their posts, and that my topic was a good example of the kind of responses they are likely to get....and how that is ashame. Aye yie yie...
And yes, you are right...the Cheesecake Factory is not a place to buy a new wardrobe. I guess you missed the part when i mentioned that the place is connected to a mall. Adding up now for ya? I dont wanna be a dick, but jeez...you're makin it hard.

Unintentional pun I'm sure. I'm surprised as narcissists don't usually blow their cool, they get frustrated but perhaps it's only that. You wanted an audience for your little fake story but you don't have control over the responses. Others have pointed out that your story doesn't add up. I'm pointing out that you sound like an idiot. Ok, got it now? You're filled with yourself and you think you deserve a certain type of woman. So you got her but you didn't like the outcome. You're a self-involved bore and you'll keep dating the same types of women and trying to post about it thinking you're cute until one day you become truly angry and bitter and not understanding why people react negatively to you and women won't date you anymore. Then you'll start posting scary rants on here. I've seen it before. Think before you post. | |
