That reminds me of a real doozy. In an episode of the Dick Van Dyke show (the Lady and the Tiger and the Lawyer), Rob and Laurie each set up the new neighbor on dates - Rob sets him up on a date with his coworker (Sally) and Laurie sets him up on a date with her cousin. Both dates apparently go very well - the guy likes Sally, and he likes the cousin. Which one is he going to call for a second date? Apparently neither - but why? The reason why is that the neighbor has a problem - he beats up women he gets involved with, and until his psychologist cures him, he’s only dating women once, so he doesn’t get attached.
If you think I’m kidding - The Dick Van Dyke Show: Episode 78: The Lady and the Tiger and the Lawyer confirms my memory of the storyline
