What would you say if on a first date a guy said: "Don't take this the wrong way, but I think I am in love with you."

You'd probably take it the wrong way and hightail it out of there, right?
This happened to a friend of mine and although she was too polite to hit the road, she certainly considered it.
The date …

“What do you call two rabbits on a honeymoon,” John asked.
She didn't know what to say or if she should laugh so she just stared at him while he giggled and snortled over the crab cheese wantons.
“I'm not sure. What?”
“A bunnymoon.”
Felice feigned amusement and told him to eat the rest of the appetizer. She had eaten her fill.
They were on a date, but it wasn't really supposed to be a…

Last winter a very close friend of mine named Abbie met a doctor online. He was perfect on paper, or should I say on computer screen. They were the same age, he was smart (obviously), he had a
nicely written profile, and his pictures were cute.
After a couple of brief phone conversations they decided to meet at a popular bar after work. Immediately, Abbie was attracted. Not only was…

Several summers ago I had a fling with a guy who was a huge hugger. I’m not a huge hugger.
Believe it or not our different views on hugging became a big issue for our little, short-lived relationship. It seemed that I couldn’t hug the right way and every time he went for a squeeze it ended in some kind of lecture…

Last summer my friend Jess went on a date with someone she met on
SinglesNet.com. True to any first date she was nervous and anxious to get it over with, but also psyched about meeting this hotty for real.
His profile looked great and she was optimistic about at least having an interesting conversation about all his travels to South America, where her family is from. She was also looking…

I had an online romance a couple years back that I'm reminded of from time to time when I hear about perverts with camera phones. Sounds strange, I know, but after being introduced to a topless woman via camera phone let's just say I've been a little scarred.

A friend of mine is having trouble incorporating food into her dates. It seems that either she plans for it and then is surprised to be without it, or she loses all sense when it comes to making decisions about it.
Date Number One: A young hippy neighbor invites her out on a dinner date. She's surprised when he shows up at her apartment dressed in pressed khaki. She's taken off…

For decades this question has gone unanswered and it's time we settle the issue. I'd like to know and I know you, the reader and dater, want to know too. Who should pay for the first date?

This has been circulating around the internet and because it's quite hilarious, I though I'd share.
Jay Leno went into the audience to find the most embarrassing first date that a woman ever had. He found a woman with this story...
She said it was midwinter. Snowing and quite cold. And the guy had taken her skiing in the mountains outside Salt Lake City, Utah, for a day skiing. No overnights. They…
