My friends have suggested I write a book about my dating experiences. Here are a few:
The pastor of my old church fixed me up with his x-bil, who lived about 4 hours away. We talked a lot on the phone for several weeks and he seemed intelligent and was a believer. But this guy asked me to marry him before he ever met me in person. NOT!
One time I was shopping with a guy I had been seeing about 1 month and he shoplifted right in front of me. I ended the relationship of course. He said I was being judgemental!
I dated a guy during the Christmas season, but it fizzled out because he wasn't available on the weekends. ??? Several months later I received a call from a woman who said she found my number in her fiance's planner and wondered how I knew him. I said, oh I dated him at Christmas time (he bought me a present, was very aggressively pursuing, except for his unavailability).
She started crying and said they were getting engaged during that time. I hope she didn't marry him, I never heard anything.
Then there was the worst 1st date of all time. I didn't trust this guy enough to allow him to pick me up, thank goodness, so I met him at the restaurant. In our conversation re divorce, etc., he learned I was a Christian. He started saying horrible things about Jesus, such as He hung out with hookers, etc., and I tried to explain why I appreciated the fact that Jesus accepts sinners, but he kept on slandering Him. I simply stood up (to his horror) and said, "You know, I don't like you," and walked out.
Have any of you single ladies had dating nightmares? Or am I the only weirdo magnet? Please note, these have happened over the years and not all last month.

Another horror story. A friend (and I use that term loosely) fixed me up with a guy who showed up in a 20-gallon cowboy hat, a belt buckle so large that it cast away any doubts that he was the redneck from Hell, and a VEGA. Do you remember Vegas? Not only was it yellow, but it had the motor on the outside of the car, on the hood. Exposed. This means on Saturday nights, he raced the sucker. Loud? Was it loud? What's that you say? I can't hear you...my hearing was damaged that night.
OMG...I made sure we went to a restaurant in some out of the way, deep, dark, hidden place. I'm sure he thought I was trying to be romantic, but I was sooooooooo afraid I would see someone I know. He must have been a preacher in the making too, because he kept wanting to "lay hands" on me. OMG...I didn't know people like that still existed.
Why yes, his name was Bubba Earl. How did you know?

Daisygirl you seem like such a reasonable well rounded women.... where are you finding these guys?? Surely, and I honestly believe this, there are oodles of good men in the world. I talk to them, I work with them, I know they're around.
But at our age, from what woodwork do these guys crawl to find you? I can hardly believe such men survived to be over 30. Hearing this makes my pot bellied hard-of-hearing husband look like the catch of a lifetime. Geesh.
Maybe you need to move?
