Charlie announced he had a drinking problem and a live-in girlfriend on our first date.

Joe showed me photos of what his fetish is like on our first date.

Ray arrived late because he was coming from an AA meeting. He also forgot his wallet and promised to make it up to me another time if I could pay for dinner. Later texted me asking if I could meet him for sex. He never did make up the dinner.

John showed up for a coffee date wearing a kilt.

Dave asked me to meet him at a restaurant at 10:00 which was when the place closed. It worked out because we could have wine at his house instead.

Mitch seemed obsessed about when I was getting divorced even though he had no interest in ever getting married again.

Larry arrived by train and lied about not having a driver’s license. He later told me the truth that he had a DUI and lost his license for 10 years.

Michael showed up in a sport coat and tie and ordered a nice bottle of wine with dinner.

Ken told me at the bar before he left that he couldn’t see himself getting involved with someone with a disability.

I met Mark 5 times on Zoom before we met in person.
