		<title>Not A Mama&#8217;s Boy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d known him for a few weeks, so was excited when he asked me out to a yoga class. But the whole time, he acted weird and awkward, so I asked, &#8220;Is something wrong?&#8221; He said,  &#8220;I&#8217;m not interested in pursuing this relationship as long as you are living with your mother.&#8221; He, on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Psycho Hose Beast!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I met a girl at a birthday party and sparks flew, so I asked her out for a drink afterward. Halfway through the night, she asked me about &#8220;the status of our relationship.&#8221; I stammered that we were just having our first drink, and that we should perhaps not call it a relationship yet. When [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Van Man</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d been talking to a man online for a couple months and agreed to have dinner with him. Turns out, instead of being in his early 30s as he&#8217;d claimed, he was clearly closer to 50. We had strained conversation over dinner, mainly talking about how he didn&#8217;t want to live with his mother anymore. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kickin&#8217; It Old School</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was on a blind date with a high school football coach.  I asked him what his career goals were and he said &#8220;I hope to retire in 10 years.&#8221;  I&#8217;m thinking: that&#8217;s impressive on a public high school teacher&#8217;s salary. So I say, &#8220;That&#8217;s great you&#8217;ve been saving up to retire early. [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Inglorious Total Basterd</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m Jewish and he was from Germany (a fact my grandmother might hold against him, but I didn&#8217;t). That is, until he started ranting that &#8220;The Jews are responsible for all wars, the bad economy, everything bad.&#8221;

		<title>Date Topics to Avoid: Eugenics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The dinner date was going well until he began to tell me about his &#8220;checklist.&#8221; He seemed very excited that I met many of his criteria, telling me quite earnestly that he wanted attractive, tall children and would do whatever it took to secure that. I&#8217;m 5&#8242;9&#8221;, and he said my height was a plus [...]]]></description>

		<title>He Believes in Tinkerbell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We met at the shoe store where he was a sales clerk.  But during our first date, he informed me that actually his true calling was being a sculptor. I asked how he got into it, and he went into this monologue:
&#8220;When I was a kid, my class had to do reports, and one girl [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Family Man</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We were having a great time at cocktails so decided to stay for dinner. We ordered a nice bottle of wine and then his phone rang; he said he had to check in and would be back in five minutes. When he got back, I said, &#8220;Everything at work okay?&#8221; He corrected me&#8211;he was actually [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hasn&#8217;t He Seen &#8220;Swingers&#8221;?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A friend wanted to set me up, so he gave my number to his friend&#8230;who left me 12 (!!!) voicemails in one day trying to arrange our date for that weekend.

		<title>Yay!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I met a guy online and was so excited  for our meet-up that when I got to the restaurant parking lot, I accidentally locked my keys in my car while it was still running.  And then I was so nervous I talked nonstop through dinner. But even though I pretty much ruined our first [...]]]></description>
