As I ask for dating dos and mostly don't stories from friends I wonder when the don'ts will not out number the dos completely!
Apparently furniture demands are now required by some fool man around here.
Now this all started when Lady A asked Bubba A to come in her house after a date to have more time to chat. He sat on her sofa and tried to make himself comfortable, maybe too comfortable because he proceeded to tell Lady A if she wanted to keep seeing him she had to buy a more comfortable sofa.
Needless to say Bubba and the Pea was never invited over again or seen again.
High maintanence men come in many shapes.
High maintenance men can also be cheap oh so cheap.
Lady A met Bubba B. When the discussion came up of where to have dinner several options were mentioned. Many were deemed too expensive. Well meaning Lady A mentioned Logan's - a reasonable family style restaurant. Bubba B was most offended - Going to Logan's is high falooting living.
Rude and Cheap - 0 for 2
Lady A is said to be holed up in her house reading trashy novels - safer!

Beware the Bald Vegan and Other Internet Dating Tips.
Ahh Internet Dating.
What happened to meeting people at a bar where they lie or mislead to your face? Now lying or misleading has gone high tech!
A brave dear friend shared her internet dating stories with me. She met some masters of misleading.
She is a smart lady never shared personal information. She would screen her "prospects" via email for awhile. Then she arrange to met her a "prospect" at a local coffee shop. All well and good.
Prospect A
When she met Prospect A for coffee he looked like his picture - bald in Match pic and bald at coffee shop. (Good so far!)
He discussed with her that he was a very strict vegetarian. (OK)
He then went on to say he had a hard time meeting women at the temple. (OK he is Jewish)
He then showed her pictures of his young son and daughter. (She noticed his son was bald...hmm...)
He then went on to say he was having a hard time getting his son to wear the orange robes to school (!!!!!!!!- Yikes! Turns out there was a Hare Krishna school near by - so my friend's date was a Hare Krishna)
Propect B
When she met Prospect B for coffee he looked like his picture (good starting point!)
He showed her pictures of his children (cute pics! - devoted dad)
Told her he had them by different women (ok...)
Then told my friend he had not seen children in years (??!!)
Because he had been in prison (BYE!!!)
At this point my friend said enough! She quit for a few months then tried again.
Prospect C
When she met Prospect C for coffee he looked like his picture (again a positive)
From earlier emails she had learned he was new to the area and knew few people because he telecommuted. (Well and Good)
Well after nice chat over coffee Prospect C asked "Do you know what I like best about working from home?"
"What?" my friend asked
"You can work naked and nobody knows it"
At this point she was running for her car!
