peacock feathers
 

I am supersingle at the moment, and have been doing a lot of dating. I've run into some characters, and I thought I'd start a thread on things boys (or girls) have said to you on dates that were funny, or that made you go :eek:

The one thing that made me go :eek: was:

Ex-boytoy: "Would you give up your dream job to travel [God knows where to . . . as in Podunk, USA] for my calling as a youth minister?"

Moi: "Hell no!"

Ex-boytoy: "Well, that's not fair!"

Moi: "Well, let me ask you the same question. 'Would you be content on living in a big city, such as NYC, for my career?'"

Ex-boytoy: "No."

Moi: "OK. Now you know how I'd feel."

Ex-boytoy: "Well, the wife should follow her husband around and make all of the compromises."

Moi: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

I will share a few from my date on Saturday:

Scenario 1-(this one is phone conversation pre-date)
Me (in a polite tone): Well, thanks for calling. I'm excited to see you on Saturday.
Date: You don't know how excited you are.
Me: :rolleyes:

Scenario 2-
Date: The girl I was standing next to (while he was waiting for me) told me I was naive.
Me: There's nothing wrong with that.
Date: I'm not naive, but I do think she is jaded.
Me: Jaded people frequently think un-jaded people are naive.
Date: I can tell you are naive.
Me: um. I am trusting.
Date: No, I like it. I don't want girls to be too smart .
Me: :eek: :eek: :eek: (and I'm a feminist!)

I jokingly asked a blind date "Any felony convictions?" and he replied "Just one" .. and he was serious! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

hahahaha!! See.. that's something I would say in jest if I was asked!

I said the same to a POTENTIAL date. Only about parole. And he was like, Well, the thing IS....

I can't see most of you finding people to date you girls. Is that a bad thing to say or just an opinion? Perhaps it's something funny.

--Who knows right?

Ex-bf had the same problem. I was like uh.......

My thing is, if I'm going to pay you to go on a date with me, you should at least be presentable.

Especially with the amount I'm paying.

Well I'm wearing the boy shorts and the wifebeater so deal with it.

As long as you let me lead you around by guiding the back of your neck with my manly hand, we'll be fine.

*yawn*
And I can't see anyone wanting to date you either. But who knows, you might hide your cockiness and chauvinism in person.

"My last girlfriend was a 10 in looks but only a 4 in personality and you're only an 8 in looks but you're a 10 in personality."

WTH???? :eek:

cocky

adj : overly self-confident or self-assertive; "a very cocky young man"

Hmmm I didn't say anything about me - just you girls. So really if we're speaking English, this wouldn't fit the bill here.

chau·vin·ism ( P ) Pronunciation Key (shv-nzm)
n.
Militant devotion to and glorification of one's country; fanatical patriotism.
Prejudiced belief in the superiority of one's own gender, group, or kind: “the chauvinism... of making extraterrestrial life in our own image” (Henry S.F. Cooper, Jr.).

Now I'm assuming we're talking about my gender here since you're a girl. Not only do I not qualify under the other definitions, but this one is ridiculous since I made no claim whatsoever to my gender being superior.

In fact even in other threads, I've been self-confident but not cocky and definitely not chauvinistic.

So the question is, do we use the same version of English?
