| Dumbest question you've been asked on 1st date?
Posted: 5/4/2007 11:44:26 PM | | HAHA I,m still laughing but thanks cause I,ve asked those questions myself not realizing how stupid they really are. It,s just that I,ve learned to ask a lot of questions and check for consistancy. Now what,s up with women that have been everywhere and done everything. At first I was thinking that I never had a life. I was working/raising 2 kids plus keeping my marriage as interesting as possible. thanks. | |

| Dumbest question you've been asked on 1st date?
Posted: 5/8/2007 11:16:46 AM | Morgan855 asked: "What's up with women who have been everywhere and done everything?"
Simple. We didn't have kids, we had careers. It was a choice that some women made.
My friends thought mine was a glamorous life but it was just different from theirs. As a management consultant, I flew around North America full time for ten years, eating and sleeping the five star route on expenses, getting really really really tired of being pleasant from 6 am to midnight every day to clients that I would never have chosen as friends. Then as a journalist with an international news service, I "lived around" the continent. At least I was able to have a pet in those years but relationships with people were tough.
For the last fifteen or so years I've been home with the dogs: loyal, always glad to see me, bug off when I ask them to, love me when I need it, DOGS. I gave away closets full of navy, black and grey suits, silk blouses and medium heeled pumps. It took a long time to re-orient myself to know that every morning upon waking I was HOME.
Now I don't care how fancy or fine a place is, or how much someone spent on his suit. Showers are mandatory but work stained hands are honest. My clothes come from Value Village and it has to be a pretty special event to get me to wear panty hose. Fortunately the events I cover are used to gonzo photographers as part of the wall paper so I can wear what I want, snap a few pics and slip away to another shoot.
I hang out with people I like. I choose my friends. I choose how I spend my time. I don't suffer fools but I am a suffering fool at times. If you have a dog that you adore, who sleeps on your bed, you are more likely to become a friend than if your dog sleeps outside 24/7/365.
What's the dumbest question I've ever been asked on a first date?
"Where is British Columbia?" ranks up there.
"You don't really BELIEVE that do you?" about anything I've just mentioned that really interests me.
Topper of all time: "Do your dogs have to sleep in the house?" Answer: YES they do - but YOU don't!

Posted: 5/8/2007 11:35:40 AM | I was living in Kansas City, and my date asked me if we had UPS trucks in Texas.
Back here in TX after being in Hawaii, a girl asked me if it was warm in Hawaii.
Ummmm, yes. | |

Posted: 5/8/2007 1:12:09 PM | | Questions (more than a couple, because everyone can forget a couple of details) I already answered in my emails. It makes me wonder why we're there if you couldn't pay attention when I told you the first time. Also - rude questions like the square footage of my house and how many bathrooms it has...how many employees work where I work, and how many of them get health insurance...sheeeesh! How romantic! | |

Posted: 5/11/2007 2:48:15 PM | I have actually used the " So how has your luck been on these sites" one. Simply because i have met a lot of friends, but no girlfriends. Good to know that is the wrong way to go. I'm learning ladies.  | |

I love the whole "do your kids have the same dad?" That's my favorite...
I like to just look at them.....and calmly (and convincingly) say.... hmmmm...you know...I've always had my doubts...... :::::::sigh:::::::
Too cute!
Next time tell him that you not quite sure, but your going on Springer in two weeks to find out. | |

Posted: 5/11/2007 3:03:13 PM | For me it has been most likely those questions which are double edged in nature, where a negative conclusion can be assumed no matter the answer.
Ex. How many people have you dated ?
ans-1. I've had many partners ; you couldn't make it work with any of them, is there something wrong with you?
ans-2. I've been single for a long time ; why do you have a problem finding some-one? | |

Are you okay?
We were on date to boat show at Cobo Arena in downtown Detroit. It was late. We went back to my car (truck). I was gentleman, held door open, let her step up into the truck. I still had my hand on door, she grabs the inside door handle, and slams it... didn't shut, so, she slams it again... I had at least I let go of door... I walk around to drivers side, open door, step up and slide into drivers seat, and just sat there, holding my hand in my lap.... she asks "are you okay"? I asked, have you never had the door held for you... she said, No. I said okay, well, I think we need to go to the E/R room... I had her drive me over to the hospital... I had broken two knuckles... | |

| Dumbest question you've been asked on 1st date?
Posted: 5/13/2007 7:26:31 PM | Do you want to kiss me? This wasn't actually a date, but a girl I met last night that I had been on a date before. Ok, maybe it isn't so stupid of a question, unless we put it into context. We were in a bar, she was drunk, I had just shown up, I was having a conversation with her friend. All she wanted to do was kiss, and basically, I just wasn't feeling it. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but for me, when you kiss someone, it has to be the "right" moment. I can switch it on, sure, but it's just not the same.
Needless to say I'm not seeing her again, for a variety of reasons, of which I won't go into. | |

"Do you mind getting in the back seat...my dog doesn't share the front seat well"
LMAO needless to say--I got out of the front and went right back inside my house---without him---or the damn dog! lol | |

This got me to thinking-What's the dumbest question you've ever been asked on a first date?
How can you be so stupid to believe that garbage?
She asked if I believed in evolution, to which I replied 'Of course.' She then went on a 5 minute rant about how people who believe in evolution generally are also responsible for ending prayer in school and how we are the root cause of all that's wrong in the country.
I wasn't offended, I was actually thankful. Showed me really quickly that we would have zero in common.  | |
