First Dates, Allergies and Love: First date going well

First date going well

By johnfrank - 26/03/2009 17:11 - United States

Today, I was on a blind date with a girl my friend set me up with. We went to a fancy restaurant and she ordered the shrimp. I told her, "I'm allergic to shrimp, so you shouldn't order it in case I want to kiss you later." She looked at the waiter and said, "I'll have the shrimp." FML

Today, I went on a blind date with a guy at a seafood restaurant. I explained to him that I am deathly allergic to shrimp. When the waiter took my order, he interrupted me and said, “She’ll have the shrimp," while looking me dead in the eye. FML

Sounds like a win, somehow

Today, I found out that I'm allergic to shrimp, when I went out for a lunch with my long-term crush after I finally got the courage to ask her out. She's really into seafood. A little while into the afternoon I started to feel itchy. She ended up scratching my back all night. FML

Today, I went on a blind date at a local restaurant. When my date walked in, she took one look at me, said "Nope", and walked out. FML

Today, I went on a blind date that my friends set up. Not only did my date visibly recoil at the sight of me, she ended up trying to convince me that we're actually cousins. When I told her how absurd that was, she muttered, "Fuck it" and left. FML

Bland date

Today, my best friend set me up on a blind date with someone he said was very hot. I'm not exactly what you call fit, so I haven't been dating lately. As soon as I got to the restaurant, I spotted the girl. She looked me up and down, said, "You have GOT to be kidding me" and left. FML

Today, I went on a blind date. We had agreed on meeting in front of a park. Thinking I was there first, I texted her "I'm already there, sitting next to the fat chick." I heard a beep. SHE was the "fat chick." FML

Today, I took my girlfriend out to a vegetarian-friendly restaurant. She ordered shrimp fettuccine, and I asked why. She slowly explained to me that vegetarians can eat shrimp, then muttered that she now knows who has the brains in our relationship. FML

Today, I went on a blind date that my best friend had set up for me. When I arrived, I introduced myself and we sat at the table. After we ordered our food, he asked the waiter for some crayons and a kid's menu, and colored for the half hour before our food came. He didn't talk to me at all. FML

Today, I went on a blind date, even though the whole concept freaks me out a bit. My date showed up with his sister, who sat at our table and critiqued everything we did, from how I chewed my food, to the way we nervously laughed. He hardly said a word the whole time. FML

It's the guys fault. "In case I want to kiss you later." Way to come off as a Jerk.

I don't want to be mean or anything, but you're stupid. And rude.

That has gotta be the ultimate way of rejection to be fair

@34 Yet most women seem to love being degraded and treated like shit. Case in point: I'm a nice, tall, dark and handsome mid-20 man. My friend is the same age as me and treats women like shit. Said c*nt to her in fron to her mom and kicked her out of his house (they are still together). Honestly I'm thinking that you like to be treated like shit because honestly for all my sincerity and honesty I've been cheated on by every woman that I've dated. This whole bullshit that you want a nice, caring man is full of crap. Most want to have the rough sex and get talked down to. Don't understand why yet I've seen my friend and his other friends pull the same shit and they seem to get all the women that they want. When will you women put your money where your mouth is and want the caring handsome man? Hell I think most think I'm gay because I don't fit into the sleezy BF/male persona and since I don't fit into that mold something must be wrong with me. Sure this seems like a creeper post but honestly more women seem to love that creeper shit than hate it. Prove me wrong and date some sincere, honest man and then tell me if it's better than dating an asshole. Until then I'm thinking of turning into a dick based on observational data.

First of all, a "kind caring man" wouldn't generalize women like this. Also, he wouldn't buy into the lame idea you're thinking of. Yeah, if you're an asshole you'll get women. You'll get women who have been taught not to respect themselves and allow themselves to be treated like objects. If you stay a caring man, you'll find a woman who has standards and who respects herself as a human being and knows when she's being treated poorly. So really, it's up to you. The kind of man you are dictates the kind of woman you will get.

#59 Here's the thing: Most nice guys want bad girls and bad girls just want bad boys. It's sexier. You won't usually hear "Ooh I really wanna bone the guy who just walked the grandma across the street". Don't become a total jerk, just stop trying to be so damn nice all the time.
