“well, you know that bigger girls are popular these days.”
at least that wasn’t his opening line. that was:
“i’m not very good at hiding how i feel, so i’m not even going to try.”
i’m being pretty ungenerous. he was a nice enough guy who was at least interesting and had more hobbies than sitting on wreck beach oggling boobies (although, he did express an interest in running around naked in nature). he brought his dog. we walked through the gardens. we took at drive out to a secluded little park where there was a bench memorializing his friend who had committed suicide two years ago. he told me about how he thought a lot about doing the same during his very lonely and heartbroken winter.
“would you like to make out?”
it wasn’t at all awful. i guess i’ll try it again. just not with him.

    Yours sounds more interesting than my coffee date went.
    But then, sounds like that guy could string sentences together.
    Would you like to become celebate lesbian lovers with me? It sounds far easier than this dating thing. And you could hang out with my cat, too.

    I have no cats, but I’d be all in for a celebate lesbian 3some!

    sorry to hear it wasn’t what you were hoping for…but at least it adds more fodder to the tales of bad dates

    Hmm… looking for a snog through utter pathos? What is he, like, from a talker??
    Okay, I’m sorry, I enjoy reading these entries, because it reminds me there ARE worse things than dealing with the moodswings of a spouse (from both sides). I’ll have to write a long treaty on the evils of married life to let you get your laughs next…

    Dating = horrible. I keep swearing off, but then I keep meeting people that I think will be different. And oh boy are they. Different in that they’re WORSE than the last one. :) But yes – there are always the stories to tell afterwards.
