We all know it. This is the spot to get it off your chest.

It'd make a nice mash up for "Forum Letters" meets "True Crime"... (probably already folks out there with the same story...)

No offense to your friend, but it sounded like he looked at the possible scenarios and chose getting laid to the best. And therefore, I am not surprised that the rest of the stuff happened. The flag for me was the line "second or third" pub. Early dates should always be arranged so either party can bail.

I totally agree Remy. The person in question is not very good in relationships and has recently started using online dating sites. I've told him he better meets them in the afternoon for coffee...

Depends on how the bubbles got there.

There better be lots of bubbles - I don't care how they got there...
How did this drift to this point?

Ok, I'll get back on point.
Now I've got 2 dates this weekend with two different girls. I only say this to brag. I've never been able to say that before.

What a journey.
My wife, I took a date to a bar, told her a friend called and needed some help, left her with a guy I know, and went out on a date with my future/current wife, went back to bar and finished my date with that girl. She had previously dated some dude that was trying for the Mr. Indiana title. poor guy. :) He was even written up in the local newspaper, too. Oh yeah, my wife knows the story, too.

Russian long gone. Was nuts. Calling her a leggy Russian supermodel was a fun thing to say to you and to her; but that wasn't who she was.

Nuts. The Cyrillic looked good before I posted it.

Sorry, Bruce.

Sorry? Hey I say "congrats" -- better to find that the appearance (leggy super model) came wrapped around a fundamentally different person (" that wasn't who she was") . I sadly have about half a dozen friends with kids are other complications that didn't find that out for a dozen years...
I think about a third or so of the folks that date really do get better at it with time, the other two thirds repeat the same patterns whether they work or not (and 'work' has a pretty broad range of meanings depending on how well one understands one's goals...).
Sounds like Bruce has a higher probability of understanding his goals. Meeting them is another story and one that will require some luck. Best wishes...

At the risk of jinxing things, I'm considering the need for an anti-love stinks thread.
It's been a long time since I've felt this optimistic about a relationship. And she's 12 years my junior. How the hell did I manage that? I somehow avoided the grandmas who where trying to hook up with me. And she's cute and funny. Go figure.

I always thought this was more than a complaints thread. I am just a tad smitten with the current woman I am seeing. Smart, beautiful, and didn't stab me in the eye with her fork when I told her I voted for Bush in 2000. She's a great cook and loves horror movies. It's like I created her in a lab.

What's her position on Syracuse?

I cooked her dinner instead of watching Syracuse's first-round basketball game on Friday. Another plus: we have similar taste in wines.
