Love and Awkward: Meanwhile, in 1953…

Meanwhile, in 1953…

By nope! - This FML is from back in 2020 but it's good stuff

Today, I had my first date in more than two years. As soon as I sat down, the first words out of his mouth were, "How many people have you had sex with? Not just recently, but ever. I don’t date women who’ve had more than 5 partners." I left before we'd even ordered drinks. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I went on a date for the first time in almost a year. To keep things casual, he had a couple of his friends join. Oh and by a couple of friends, I mean a party of people from his church. I'm not religious. The date wasn't even half over before I was being preached to. FML

Creeped out of here

Today, I went on my first date in six years. The guy was unbelievably creepy, and I couldn't wait for it to be over. Right after we finished eating, he told me he loved me, then tried to lean in for a kiss. He looked like he was going to cry when I turned him down. FML

Heavy rotation

Today, I had a third date with a great guy. Over dinner, he told me that he wanted to see more of me. When I agreed, he pulled out his schedule book and started to tell me he was dating 5 other women besides me. He then told me what week in the "rotation" would be mine. He wasn't kidding. FML

Today, I went on my first date in nearly a year. A few minutes into the meal, he called me "scrumptious" and made animal noises for the rest of it. FML

Today, I went on my first date in 8 years. While we were looking at the menu, the guy said: "So if you're vegetarian, why're you so fat?" FML

Let's do this again?

Today, I went on a date with a guy who insisted on eating off my plate the whole night. He didn't order his own food, because according to him, "it’s more intimate to share." He didn’t get why I found the whole deal off-putting. FML

Today, I had my first date in almost four years. Twenty minutes into our dinner date, I excused myself to use the ladies room. When I came back, not only was he gone, but there was also a security guard waiting to walk me out. I still have no clue why he left or why I got kicked out. FML

Last dates

Today, a guy I've been dating for a year asked me to meet him for dinner and a couple of drinks. After dinner, he confessed that he's been seeing another woman and has decided he wants to seek a relationship with her. He then told me how sex with me is great, but he didn't want me to continue being "the other woman." FML

Today, I went on a blind date. The guy greeted me with a "What's up, bitch?", which I wrote off as him just being really laid-back. By dessert, he'd asked me if my boobs are real, then when we finished, asked how many more dates it'd take before I put out. So much for that. FML

Today, a first date with a guy went so badly that he actually paid me to never call him again. FML

You should have said four and eat and drink to your heart's content. After he paid the check, say "I meant four ... this week."

Bet his number is more than 5. Honestly with people marrying around 30 these days, why do these mysoginistic men think they should limit women's sex & dating lives?

That standard itself is a complicated matter that I could probably write a page-long comment about. Reasonable in some contexts, not so much in others. But I've seen plenty of criteria, from both men and women, that I don't agree with, and I do think women are given more leniency for it. That is, it's generally more acceptable for them to be...pickier...about who they date. He has his criteria, and he told you what it was upfront. However, if it's that important to him, he should have asked before agreeing to a date in the first place. It was rude of him to do so at the beginning of it.
