<p>This wasn't a date, but it was a weird waste of time:</p>
<p>It was the last day of the quarter at my university and I was reading in the lounge area of the student union. This guy sat down nearby and started a conversation with me about the weather. No surprise there. But he proceeded to talk about the weather for HOURS. He was a meteorology student. Obviously, he could not have been that boring, but I was amazed that someone could go on for that long just about the weather. I think I…</p>

No surprise there. But he proceeded to talk about the weather for HOURS. He was a meteorology student. Obviously, he could not have been that boring, but I was amazed that someone could go on for that long just about the weather. I think I eventually must have said I had to go home. Everybody else was leaving.</p>

<p>My dating history is a long string of one time dates. </p>
<p>I guess it's been all about the thrill of the hunt.</p>
<p>Either that, or I was talking the talk, but not walking the walk.</p>

<p>This story is not funny or weird. Writing it down has made me realize how lucky I have been in my dating life. This is only one of my great date stories.</p>
<p>The year I turned 20, a graduate student at my university who was an acquaintance through a large group of friends invited me out for my birthday several months in advance.

<p>The year I turned 20, a graduate student at my university who was an acquaintance through a large group of friends invited me out for my birthday several months in advance. I was in awe of him because he was so much older (5 years!) and accomplished and so I accepted. I was also intrigued that he wanted to celebrate my birthday with me. Birthdays in my life had never been very important occasions for me growing up so I didn't have high expectations.</p>
<p>When the big day arrived, he prepared and served a special dinner for me, gave me a card (which I still have) and a gift, took me to the movies and then dessert later with mutual friends and then had me driven home by one of those friends who had a car. I will never forget how special he made me feel during those few months leading up to and including our big date. He was funny, interesting, respectful, affectionate and a total gentleman.</p>
<p>We never had another date. What he wrote in the card told me what I needed to know about his unconditional admiration for me and his motives of appreciation. We both continued our studies and remained friendly. He got his degree and went on with his life and I married and went on with mine.</p>
<p>I read about him sometimes now in the newspapers because he is a respected humanitarian in his own country who had been imprisoned for his activities. He is free now and enjoying his older years with his wife and children and his people. He is still funny, interesting, respectful, affectionate and, from what I read, still a gentleman.</p>

I won't bore you with the details, but I excused myself for a moment to go to the loo, what I actually did was call a taxi to take me home....

<p>I was in high school, a sophomore I think, hadn't been dating very long when I asked an attractive girl in my English class to a dance. She had somewhat of a reputation for liking to "fool around."To my surprise she accepted without me twisting her arm. Like me she lived on a dairy farm...most of us did back then in that part of the country.</p>

<p>Not surprisingly she looked really nice when I picked her up for the dance, but the night took a turn for the worst during the first slow dance of the night......she smelled like she had just come from the dairy barn....looked good, felt good, smelled awful.I was so relieved when she started dancing a lot with a senior boy, who obviously had lost his sense of smell. I was even more relieved when towards the end of the night she asked me if I minded if he took her home, I said, "Oh shit no!!! Ya'll go right ahead. Leave now. Have fun. Don't let the door hit you in the ass. Roll the car windows down!!"</p>
<p>aaahhhh, the sweet smell of rejection.........</p>
