But still not quite as creepy as a man saying it on a first date.

Did you ask her as the victim or rapist?

"Don’t you think suicide pacts are _romantic?"_

“Excuse me, I need to measure your breasts to see if they meet my standards.”

“Is it _true_ what they say about you and the orangutan?!”

“Before any date, I have a few facts I’m legally obligated to disclose as a condition of my parole.”

“Shut up! Oh sorry, I didn’t mean you, I meant the voices in my head.”

“Bet you can’t find where all my concealed weapons are!”

“You know, if you’re a vampire I’m _totally_ cool with you drinking my blood.”

“I’ll need to see certification of your racial purity before we do any touching.”

True story (the morning after a very successful first real date): “I want a child. You can help me. You don’t have to be involved with the child I just want to get pregnant.” I would have chewed my own arm off to get out of there.

Assuming this is real it’s the winner of the [true stories](http://i3.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/006/216/7nTnr.png) so far.

After all that, you’re sure to get an honest answer!

My additions:  
“I know I said I didn’t have kids, but I actually do. I just wanted you to meet me first so you would get to know me, even though your profile said you didn’t want kids.”

A cellphone ringing, and my date answering it, and talking on it AT ALL throughout the date. Cellphones go off when the date starts, unless a close family member is dying.

The sound of my date texting.

No, that’s _really_ creepy. But on a \*first date \*from a woman…

If I swear that I have said my quote would you declare me the winner?

Here’s a snippet:

Do you fuck on first dates  
Does you Dad own a brewery  
Could I feel Your tits  
Or would you show ‘em to me  
Cause you’ve got a nice head  
And you look pretty honest  
So me face’ll be leavin’ in quart of an hour  
I’d like you to be on it

True story from a female friend of mine…“I’m homeless, does that bother you?”

Last week…“all of the women in my family are spinsters”

Still trying to figure that one out.

I think the worst on a first date or meeting is some variation on “you’re my boyfriend/girlfriend.” Like, once I was at a dance at a church camp and some girl who apparently must have had some huge crush on me was following me around the dance, pulling me onto the dance floor (it’s not quite as bad as it sounds, but it was pretty obnoxious), and at one point when someone made some snide comment at me/us said something along the lines of “it’s okay, they don’t have a girlfriend”. She tried her damnedest to sit next to me on the 5 hour bus ride home, luckily I had a friend to sit with first.

To this day I do not know that person’s name, all I know is that I’m somewhat glad that I don’t, because I think asking her her name would have been interpreted as a marriage proposal.

“Oh, I am. Sorry.”

I had one date with a guy who turned out to be a single father. I didn’t know this when I accepted the date.

Me: “I don’t want children. Never have, never will.”

Him: “How about a stepdaughter?”
