just for the record, I am happily married and have been for a year!!!

a few years back, when I lived in Tallahassee, FL, I used to go to this coffeehouse called epitome where all the "weirdos" liked to hang out, play chess, talk about tattos and piercings and god knows what else. Anyways, I met this girl that blew my mind the first time I saw her.... Red hair ( I am sucker for redheads) , freackels, nice smile and a Motley Crue tank top...
anyways, a couple of days, coffees and chess games later, we wanted to hook up and went to my place. All was fine and there is some Concrete Blonde music on the stereo.. great mood overall..... Things get hot and before you know it, we're all over each other...then she pulls out her Tattoo machine and says that if something is going to happen between us we have to Tattoo each other........... Talk about major shrinkage effect..... to keep things short, we have not spoken to each other since and I did get plenty of tattoos since then, none of them by a girlfriend or a wife...

khmerhit, your g/f had 18 piercings!!! I've tried to use my imagination and I can only think of 11. Give us a clue. (I am in the Gulf where piercing doesn't exist and imagination isn't encouraged)

Here's my bad date story: I was participating in an English Corner in China (paid appearance: this was in Shenzhen) when I met this absolutely smokin' Chinese woman. In addition to being intelligent and gorgeous, her English was excellent and she was single. Needless to say, I asked for her phone number and called her the next day, asking her out on a date. She suggested that I come over to her place where she could cook me dinner. Wow, that sounded great! So, a few days later, I meet up with her at her place. Dinner was fine, and after dinner she pulled out a bottle of that Chinese Red Wine (called "Dynasty" if I recall correctly). So far, so good. I was having a great time with her until she started going to town on this wine! Within about 30 minutes and another bottle later, she was smashed and complaining about how much she hated her life! She went on and on about how she was looking for some guy to "save her" from her situation and was hoping that I was that guy. Yikes! I thanked her for a "lovely evening", lifted her off of her floor and placed her in her bed, and got the hell out of there.

For some, this wouldn't necessarily have been a bad date. However, I was extremely disappointed. I really liked this girl and thought there was some serious potential for a long-term relationship (I guess had I been dumb enough to "save her", there was some potential), and to find out that she was a depressed alcoholic was a huge letdown. Dating girls in China really sucks if you are looking for anything other than a good time! I wouldn't be telling the truth if I claimed a part of me didn't like the fact how easy it was for me to hook up with women there, but all of the women that I met had their own hidden agenda for wanting to hook up.

I did ask the girl out for a second date (what can I say, she was hot!), but it turned about to be a repeat performance of the first.

Cheers,
Kirk

Besides my husband, I haven't been on any dates...except for one and that was by accident.

I met a guy who wanted to learn Japanese from me. When we met he didn't have any pecils are notebooks. He took me to where we were supposed to "study". It ended up being a restaurant and his idea of a date. I said,"I have a boyfriend" and he said,"yeah, I have a girlfriend."

Yikes!

I doon't think this is exactly kosher, cutting and pasting from the Korean board. But it fits this thread, sort of. What's that? "Get a life?" Yeah. I guess you're right.

My one and only little fling with a Thai guy:

So, it's December 2002 and I'm in this gay club in Bangkok with my friends, totally drunk and this guy looks kind of cute, so emboldened (is that a word?) by the vodka I say hello and porceed to suck his face off for half an hour. As the club closes we swap numbers, but I inform him I have to take my friends home. No biggie.

We speak on the phone the next day, which is nice - the next day my famil arrive from England to celebrate xmas and we all fly off to Ko Samui, we speak every day while I'm there. Then New Years Eve, he calls me at midnight to say "I love you". I laugh, he cries.

And proceeded to call me 3/4 times a day for some five months...

Well, I've had two crappy dates since I've been here in China. In fact I've had two since I've been in China, period. They weren't like you guys, they were just with the most beautiful women of Jinan which had no brains.

"What would you like to eat <name goes here"
She says "What are you having"
"The steak"
"I'll have the same" I say ".. and the drink?"
"Whatever you're having". States itself it was a crappy and expensive night.

Ok, so this cute store clerk picks me up in the rice section of the local supermarket. Am I in China or what? I give her my phone number and think myself pretty lucky.

The next day she calls me. "I miss you...blah blah"

Two days later. "I like you..."

Three days later. "I love you..." She tells me how her father is a bad man. She wants to move out. I had a feeling where this was going.

By the end of the week, I realized I had a stalker and could never buy rice from that store again. I just kept telling her I was too busy to go out. A few months go by, she calls when I'm really bored, and I agree to go out with her. She picked one of the most expensive restaurants in the city. The place was packed when we get there. She is so happy that her face looks like it hurt. She would suddenly stop smiling like a puppy who had been swatted on the nose and then resume when she realized I was looking. And she talked really really loud. I'm trying to sit lower and lower in my chair. There is a pair of rich old women turning their nose up on one side of us and a group of teenagers laughing their heads off on the other. When we start eating she continues to shout, but this time with bits of food flying everywhere. Then she gets a phone call from her father. She suddenly becomes quite scared. She screams into the little red phone in her hand that she's on her way home. Not more than two minutes later her father calls again, causing her to plead and beg with her father, swearing again again that she's almost home.

By this time the whole freak'n restaurant is staring at us. She puts the cell phone away and then jumps up. "Gotta go," she says. Before I have time to say, "check, please," she runs out of the restaurant, never feeling embarassed for a second.

This was worse than when I went bowling with ugly twins and far worse than the time my date jumped on the hood of my friend's car just after taking a leak on his porch.

I'm afraid I feel more pity for them than the humiliation they've caused me.

Hmm..I thought of a few but, well , this is a wholesome family board (ie killin' is ok, but sex is bad, Hmmkay?) and they wouldn't make it past the thought police. I''ve already been warned once by the mods to 'conform or be cast into the pits of reality' Shocked

Oh, I know. I'd been seeing a crazy girl (schizophrenic) for a few months and she was having trouble dealing with her inability to manipulate me, but just couldn't face that it was the case. We were at a bar and a bit drunk and she laid on the old 'you're not getting with the program so I think we should stop seeing each other' routine (yawn).

So of course I said "Ok, bye" and left.

Next morning she rocked up at my house, told me she'd picked up a guy and went home with him but nothing happened (sure...). She then undressed and got into my bed.
Anyway, I paced around the living room being unable to believe the cheek of the girl, then went into my room and said:

"Get out of my fvcking bed, get out of my fvcking house and get out of my fvcking life."

And whaddaya know? It worked Cool
