Dating Can Suck…

Dating, relationships, bad,

I am a girl from Kansas who has had her heart broken many times by men she really loved. But the most recent was the worst. This guy I had been dating for a few months proposed to me and we had a great year being engaged and looking for things to plan out our future. Then all the sudden he decides he is not ready and I respected that so we called it off. He then begins to act very aloof and strange toward me so Break it off all together. A week later he comes back and begs me to take him back because he loves me and promises to do better and maybe we can work our way back up. I agree and then 2 months later he announces that he loves me and wants to be with me but doesn’t see any future with me. Men are soooo aggravating!

Another great dating tale.

After three years of dating and twenty years of marriage to the same girl we divorced, and uncomfortably I got back into the dating scene after all that time. I hated the bar scene, so I chose a newspaper dating service. The first exchange with these potential dates was by letter. One woman, who admitted in her letter to me to be only 4 years older than my 38 years, sent me a picture. I noticed in the picture that her hairstyle was a little out of date. But, we arranged by phone to meet in a local restaurant anyway for our date. On the night we were to meet, I looked for her in the restaurant, but couldn’t find her. Even though I saw a woman that was wearing the outfit she said she’d be wearing, the woman didn’t look like the picture. After several minutes of wondering if I had been stood up, I wandered into the bar of the restaurant and grabbed a stool. The woman in the restaurant wearing the clothes as described in our phone call walked up to me and introduced herself! It was my blind date - at about age 60 (and an OLD 60 at that)! The picture she had mailed me, as she explained, was a High School picture of her from the 1950’s! I felt obligated to continue the date anyway, even though it felt like I was out with my mother. Everyone in the restaurant was staring at us. This woman had loose dentures that whistled when she talked and her wig was on sideways! She even insisted on holding my hand! Later, after dinner, she actually wanted to go parking, but I told her I felt sick (which I did after that suggestion) and needed to go home. I promised to call her the next day, which I did. I told her on the phone that I was sorry, but I didn’t appreciate her lying about her age by at least 20 years! She actually got angry at me and hung up on me and then would call for weeks after that and not say a word, but just slam the phone down in my ear. — David, 46

Another great dating relationship song. This time for you country fans.

NAH!!

I thought I might begin by fillin’ you in–
in case you didn’t already know
I’ll never forget how you got up and left
In fact it was downright pretty low
There ain’t no way I wanna,
you know I ain’t gonna
Take you back, so don’t even try
You can beg, you can plead–
you can sweat, you can bleed
Too bad I could care if you cry

That’s it! (That’s all!) We had fun!
(We had a ball!)
It was good while it lasted–
but now I’m past it
(It was sure!) It was sweet!
Sure you swept me off my feet
I miss you now and then,
but would I do it all again–Nah–

[Chorus:]
You won’t find me
Naked and cold justa sittin’
on the doctor’s table
Witin’ to be told justa why
I’m no longer able
To feel my heart beatin’–
give me a good reason why!
I kinda went numb just around
about the time you told me
You were movin’ on, and you
said that you were gonna phone me
It’s been so long, and there
ain’t nothin’ wrong with the line

It’s too late to regret it,
but you’re the one who said it
We’re better off being apart
I hate to be a downer,
but don’t bother comin’ ’round here
‘Cause I won’t have a change of heart

That’s it! (That’s all!) We had fun!
(We had a ball!)
It was good while it lasted–
but now I’m past it
(It was sure!) It was sweet!
Sure you swept me off my feet
I miss you now and then,
but would I do it again–Nah–

[Repeat Chorus]

Nah…

Well, I hope you learned a lesson,
’cause you’ll never be messin’
With my head again the way that you did
It was never gonna work; you were
too much of a jerk
I’m finally fed up with it

That’s it! (That’s all!) We had fun!
(We had a ball!)
It was good while it lasted–
but now I’m past it
(It was sure!) It was sweet!
Sure you swept me off my feet
I miss you now and then,
but would I do it all again–Nah–

[Repeat Chorus]

Nah…

During my freshman year in college, I was approached by this really cute guy while I was at work. We talked and hung out for a while, and as it turns out, he was a really nice guy. One day, he decided to move in for a kiss. To this day, I gag every time I think about it. I guess he was trying to lay a wet one on me. The problem was that it was so wet his saliva was running down my chin. It’s the worst kiss I’ve ever had! I don’t like the idea of dog kisses, but I’d rather have had a dog lick my entire face than have someone’s spit running down it. Gross is a complete understatement! Even worse, he was five years older than me. Where the hell did he learn how to kiss? There’s just no justification. — Diana, 26

I met this guy online and chatted with him over the next two weeks. He seemed nice enough, so I invited him to come to a party with me. He did live two hours away, but he seemed quite fine with driving to see me. I saw a picture of him that looked okay. As I waited outside for him, I saw this short, long-haired guy with leather pants. Then the worst came. I saw his face, and yikes! He had the worst case of bug eyes I’ve ever seen! They literally looked like they were about to pop out of his head. And his jaw was all uneven. Feeling responsible for getting myself into this situation, we continued to the party. Well, not only was he hideous, but he would not stop trying to grope me below the belt in front of everyone. So, I got hammered that night and did have sex with him. Afterwards, he told me he loved me. This freaked me out! I hardly knew him. Plus, he was gross-looking and way annoying. I was still intoxicated and at the party, but I needed out. I told him I had to grab some CDs from my car, and I sped off. That whole night he called me approximately fifty-seven times and left twenty-three voicemails. Finally, I called him back but just to tell him I didn’t appreciate him giving me a phony picture and to tell him that he was the ugliest, most annoying person I’d ever met, that I never wanted to talk to him again, and then I hung up. He still called. So, I had to block his number and change my username. This one was whacked! I’m still scarred for life that I even kissed him! — Cassandra, 26

We have all been dumped at one time or another. It can really suck. So what do we do to get through it??? Well my friends that is the question. A friend of mine recently shared with me one of her favorite break up songs so I am sharing it with you. What do you do?

You Dirty Rat

You never write, you never call
You just stand around and smile so happily
The government could never do
As worse a things as you have done to me

Well I should cry, but I’ve done too much already
I can’t lie, cuz you’re better at that than I’ll every be
And it won’t take us back to you and me
Being all in love
You call me names, and you’re never home
And all I got ta show is a kissin jones
You talk too much, but not to me
Cuz too much of this love I’ll never see

Well I should cry, but I’ve done too much already
I can’t lie, cuz you’re better at that than I’ll every be
And it won’t take us back to you and me
Being all in love

You dirty rat, you broke my heart
I can’t believe it went this far
Turn out the heat, blow out the spark
Oh…
Now I gotta say before it all gets said
I look alive but I feel dead
And as for us are we still good friends?
Oh, no, no…

Well I should cry, but I’ve done too much already
I can’t lie, cuz you’re better at that than I’ll every be
And it won’t take us back to you and me
Being all in love

You dirty rat, and I gotta say
You sure know how to wreck my day
Turn off the sun and walk away
Oh…
But now I just what to find
And who is who this next in line
And as for us, is there still time?
Oh, no, no, no…

From Netscape…too funny to pass up

I had been dating this guy for about 2 months. I decided to stop in at a bookstore because we had a few moments to spare before the start of the movie we were going to see. After showing me a really romantic picture from a book he was looking at, he leaned toward me and, in a really sexy voice, asked if he could kiss me. Just when I was getting ready to pucker up, I saw the biggest booger hanging off his mustache. I was so disgusted that I refused to kiss him, and told him why. So he wiped it off his mouth and onto his pants, and then tried to caress my face with the same booger hand! He ended up seeing the movie by himself. — Lily, 24

I have been holding on to this story for a while now trying to decide if I should post it. Guess what I decided.

I have been talking to this lady, I’ll call her “K”, for a few months now. Not everyday mind you but every couple of weeks we would talk. We often said that we should meet and chat and have dinner or something. Well i did not really put a lot of thought into this because it seemed that it would NEVER happen. She just seemed to distracted. In fact there were times that we would be talking and she would have to go and would say “I’ll call you right back”. I’m like “OK, cool”. She would never call back. So I really did not think we would ever meet.

Well one Friday we were talking and decided that we should meet that night for dinner. I was like “wow, its really gonna happen”. Anyway I drove down to her house, nearly an hour away. I got there and rang the bell. She answered the door but was on the phone. Anyway I stood in the foyer for nearly 15 minutes while she talked on the phone. She finally ended the call and invited me into the family room to sit down and visit for a bit. After maybe five minutes she got another phone call. So there I sat for maybe another twenty minutes while she talked. She again ended the call apologizing profusely to me. We we started to visit again when she received another phone call. So once again I was sitting listening to her on the phone. Once again she ended the call and apologized. We resumed visiting for just a few minutes when the doorbell rang. She answered it I heard her talking to a man. They soon both appeared in the family room. She introduced me but I don’t remember his name. Anyway he came in and sat down on the couch between my “date” and me. My “date” and he spent the next almost 2 hrs talking business. Apparently they are trying to help each other build their respective businesses. They talked about clients and successes and failures.. I was just wanting dinner. I should tell you that I was starving (I had not eaten since 11:30 am and it was now after 6 pm. So yeah I was hungry). My “dates’” friend even put in a video that they started to watch. They discussed some movie called “The Secret”. At the time I was completely unfamiliar with this movie. I have since learned a bit about it. Anyway I was feeling very uncomfortable being an onlooker and a kind of eavesdropper. It was after 10 pm when they ended their conversation and he left. Now i had said maybe two words in the last 2 hrs. OK I was really struggling at this point. I had a headache and I needed to eat. Finally he left. We had just started talking again when she received yet another phone call. This time however she told the caller that she could not talk and promptly hung up. That was nice of her. For the next hour to hour and a half I listened to her talk about her ex husband and what a loser he was. I tried to be understanding and attentive but found myself getting more uncomfortable. My body was literally shutting down. I did not know how to get out of there without being rude. I think I might have even had a bit of a panic attack. Finally at 12:20, she stopped talking and I said “I should go”. I have never been so relieved to end a date. I only went down there for dinner and NEVER even got to eat. DAMN.
