Bachelor #36

Sometimes I amaze myself. My ability to attract some of the freakiest men on earth is truly remarkable. Read on at your own peril.

I met Bachelor #36 online, which is, in many cases, cause for concern from the get-go. But he seemed like lots of the good things I'm looking for: fit, smart, nice enough looking, interesting, funny, and even Jewish, which is always a nice bonus for my mother.

We were talking on the phone, actually having quite a good conversation, when Mr. Spontaneous Pants decided he just HAD to meet me RIGHT NOW. A little anxious, maybe, and it was almost midnight, but hell, I'm game for just about anything.

Well, just about.

On the phone, he was a little eccentric maybe, but generally light and funny. In person, in addition to being a little short (why, I ask you, why are they all so short?) and more grey-haired than his photos, he was suddenly all serious. It's not that easy to make this seasoned dater uncomfortable, but I've got to hand it to Bachelor #36. He sat across the table and stared. Wide eyed, silent, and staring. Until finally he said very slowly, and I quote: "YOU ARE THE FACE I'VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF."

Now, I'm confident enough to say that I am a reasonably attractive human being. And I know how to take a compliment (and how to spell one, which is a lot more than I can say about most men on the online dating sites, but I digress...) However, this time, every fibre of my being was screaming "FREAK!"

In a desperate attempt to break his gaze, I got up and went to the bathroom. When I returned, he told me that as he watched me walking away, he couldn't help noticing how beautiful my butt is, and that he would like very much to spend a few hours just rubbing it.

Sometimes my fibres are really perceptive.

NEXT!

sweet, sweet jesus.

This is too much.

I am pretty sure I dated this guy. On second thought, you're probably smart enough not to go on a date with a man named "moose."

I, on the other hand, am not.

Can't say I've met one names Moose yet, but I'm quite sure I'm not smart enough for that to scare me away. Is he cute?

That is just gross! At least on a first date...
