		<title>Dating Isn&#8217;t Rocket Science</title>
		<description><![CDATA[He was an astronautic engineer enrolled in a prestigious Doctoral program, but also a complete idiot. He would not shut up, and he spoke so fast it was like being on a date with an auctioneer. Also, he could not stop staring at my chest; he made virtually no eye contact with me. I finally [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Bad Preview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We go to the movies, and once it gets dark, it gets awkward. First, he decides that he wants to hold my hand, but instead of asking, he says: &#8220;You should hold my hand.&#8221; I don&#8217;t, so he grabs my hand anyway and places it in his lap and begins rubbing up and down my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nothing Like A West-Coke Party</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thirty minutes before we&#8217;re supposed to meet he tells me his car broke down, so I go and pick him up.  Once he gets in, he tells me he can&#8217;t take me out to dinner because he needed his cash to fix his car&#8211;but that we can eat for free at a barbecue at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where&#8217;s The Eject Button?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I chatted with a guy online for a few weeks, and we eventually decided to meet up. He picked me up in his truck, and drove more than 20 mph over the speed limit, tailgating everyone that got in our way, with me in the passenger seat holding on for dear life. After lunch, he [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Fell For Him</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After having a nice coffee date we proceeded to leave the restaurant and he began walking me to my car. I reached the top of the concrete stairs outside and hit a patch of black ice, and I feel down hard, face-first. Sitting up in shock and embarrassment, I tried to act casual, but there [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Life Plan Doesn&#8217;t Include You</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I met my internet date for a drink, and though we chatted about regular things like our hobbies and jobs, something still seemed &#8220;off&#8221; about him (and no, it wasn&#8217;t just that he was cross-eyed, so when he spoke to me, one eye was looking at me and the other out the window). Then he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Like Father, Like Son</title>
		<description><![CDATA[He asks me out on a date, then gets dropped off in front of my apartment instead of picking me up because of his DUI, which was not disclosed to me prior to the date.  Before going to dinner, he asks if we can stop by the liquor store where he works so he [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Truly Frightening Halloween</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was Halloween and I decided to give this guy a chance. He then proceeded to kiss me and his tongue hit my mouth before his lips did. Everything about it was just so repulsive. We were sitting on a bench at a park and he decided to grab my hand; I thought holding hands [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ready to Mingle&#8211;And Single?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I meet this guy while hanging out with some friends.  He asked me out and picked out a romantic-sounding French movie for us to watch and spent all of dinner talking about how he used to work in a hospice watching people die.
The next day I avoided all of his calls, but then I [...]]]></description>
