A funny(ish) dating story

[QUOTE=bbs2k]
This thread needs a “good to hear” as well as a bump. Heavens knows where I’ll find one of those.

Thanks. :slight_smile:

I honestly don’t know if it’s headed anywhere, as there’s a bit of an age difference. I’m moving ahead with meeting other people. But she did write back to me a little while ago. Very nice.

And I heard back from the “cold” woman, thanking me for wishing her a happy birthday. Once again, she signed her e-mail with “xoxoxo.” I used to think that meant kisses and hugs. Silly me.

Oh hell no. It was totally weird. Her e-mails up to that point were totally suggestive, sometimes explicit. It was like she was a totally different person when I actually met her.

Not that there wasn’t already a damper on things, but on the second day she told me that her son, who we were to pick up, once took a swing at a guy that complimented her on her perfume. At one point I was left alone in the car with him while A went into a store to get a Christmas card. Talk about awkard!

So while she was in the store did you start the conversation with "Ya know, your mom is pretty hawt!?

I have no idea how to answer this other than with an emphatic No. We – literally – talked about the weather.

Um, how old is the son? Is she okay with his violent behavior?

I think he’s 19. And no, she’s very much not OK with it. She has said that neither of her kids are allowed to leave the state. I’m not sure if she was joking, as we took him from Maryland to Virginia, but I know he’s had problems with the law.
