The FUNNIEST first meeting EVER!
Posted: 8/10/2008 12:27:31 AM

Must be a shortage of men up there?


Well... If you're in Alberta, there's a lot of men and women who have just moved from various other places for work, so that makes for a huge singles scene. Not always the best since, when you're working so far away from your home, some people tend to forget to mention things... like a wife.

I started to 2nd guess myself... I honestly was scared that I had gone crazy and seriously planned a 2nd date that I didn't know about... I was so shocked and started to blame SOMETHING that I did for that whole thing to happen.

Again, all I can say is I hope "Crissy" isn't overly embarrassed about it. I've passed the story to a friend in Van who may want to use that in a scene on film. The best stories seem to write themselves.

Date thought I was taking advantage of him by asking him to get me a pack of gum
Posted: 8/9/2008 1:44:29 PM
ZOMG! Have men lost all sense of chivalry? Dating can be summed up to 2 simple things, Women make an effort to look good, Men make an effort to ensure the woman has a good time. I don't think this has changed at all... as sexist as it may sound, even in today's liberated society the same holds true.

It was his choice to spend money on you... Personally, I think its the best way to ensure there are no "expectations" is to always go dutch. But a pack of gum is just PETTY. You took advantage of him because he asked you out, offered to pay and you had a dry sticky mouth so you asked him to grab a pack of gum while he was in the store... No... He just doesn't know how to be a good person. A kiss on the lips isn't something you get as a reward for being a generous date, its something you get when their is a shared mutual attraction. Dont ever feel inclined to kiss someone on the lips at the end of a date unless you want to start your 2nd date with one.

oh yes, I told Felony what had happened and it became the butt end of the majority of our jokes the rest of the evening (then we went to a comedy club where a lot of internet dating jokes were thrown around)

I just text her to let her know I wrote a story about it on the forums, I hope she's not offended and sees the humor of it all. She was sweet and neither of us knew how to react to the whole situation. I also hope her REAL date showed up and that it went well.

I think everyone needs to hear this story... I'll change names just for anonymity (aside from my own). This is a true story.

Its Friday and I'm going to meet Felony who I've talked to on POF for over a month, I've seen profile pix, so I had an idea what i was looking for. I call her right as I'm coming to the bar parking in the street behind it. Felony said she would meet me at the front door in a bout a minute. So I start to walk up to the parking lot to make my way to the front door. While walking I see a young lady looking at me, I smiled and continued on my way, but noticed she wouldn't stop looking at me. Well, I must have really dressed to impress tonight if the pretty girls are eying me down... Then she calls out my name "MIKE!!"... Whoa, its Felony? I walked over to get a closer look, and well... brown hair, pretty, maybe the pix were a bit inaccurate but it would be RUDE to say she looks different in case she took it the wrong way.

Now, Felony had told me in the past that she sounds different on the microphone and on the phone than she does in person, so I assumed that's why she sounded so different. I didn't question it, I was sure this was going to be fine and I boiled it down to nerves (my palms were sweaty and I was more nervous than usual). I found us a seat at the balcony upstairs, we ordered our drinks and she asked if there was anything I'd like to say to her now that I met her in person... I said yes, I'm quite upset that you lost that accent you have on the phone! She was shocked! 'I have an accent?' but I assured her it was only on the phone and her voice was nice either way.

At this point, she grabbed her phone "Did you just try to call me?" I checked my phone to make sure it was locked, then I double checked my call history. "Nope" and I showed her no recent calls. She showed me her phone that read "One Missed Call POF Mike" I shrugged my shoulders blaming the network. We continued to talk and all in all, I'd say for a first meeting the date was going quite well.

Then my phone rang.

It was Felony... I looked at my phone, I looked at the person I was on a date with and I turned to stone. I answered the call trying to sound as friendly as possible. "Hi, where are you?" "I'm at the front door waiting for you" "I'm gonna be about 10 minutes, just wait there I'm really sorry, I'll call you back"... At this point, both girls knew there was a problem, the young lady I was sitting beside probably thought that was my "escape call"... a thousand thoughts rushed through my head, I know I've been under pressure lately and stressed out from work related issues, but did I plan 2 dates at the same time and who is this person I'm sitting beside? she's smiling, oh crap, she knows something is wrong... Did I plan another date in my sleep? I couldn't have... And I cracked...

All the noise in the bar flooded over me and hit a quick silence when I finally got the nerve to say "I don't think we're each others date" She looked at me confused... "I wasn't calling you, that was another POF Mike" She looked shocked... 'but whats your number? you're in my phone.' I showed her my phone number, she compared it and looked so embarrassed, I will be honest with you, I wanted to lie and continue to be her Mike for the date to avoid the situation, she obviously didn't deserve to have a date go this horribly wrong.

"So you're not Mike the Mechanic?"
"No, I'm Mike the DJ and you're not Felony"
"No, I'm Crissy"

I kissed her hand and told her she was beautiful, we exchanged numbers... I felt, well, we already went through the embarrassing first meeting, maybe we can work backwards on this one. To add insult to injury, 20 min later the bar got evacuated from a gas leak... so even after I met up with Felony, THAT date went off to a rocky start.

Ever date someone with BPD? (Borderline Personality Disorder)
Posted: 8/9/2008 11:48:00 AM
I dated a young lady with BPD before, I'll admit she was one of the most entertaining people I've ever dated with an addictive personality, always new drama (even tho it was made up) and just general excitement. Not exactly the most secure relationship I'd ever been in and was a bit emotionally painful, but such is life.

It ended when I found out she was engaged, she cheated on me, became a stripper and moved away (yes... She really WAS BPD)
