I've been on "date-cations", but I've wondered before what it would be to go on a vacation or travel adventure with someone I had just become acquainted with, and really hadn't gotten to know yet.

Hi everyone!

I don't go on many vacations... and I can honestly say I don't think I've ever actually been on a date. As a 28-year-old this suddenly concerns me...

Hii, Andrea! Happy to hear you're back and presumably healthier

bob - spare yourself. especially if the interested party mentions children or disneyworld before you ask them out.

oh yeah, was your bedbug problem exterminated?
Avatar 7:18pm
Blunterson:

For people who don't do this sort of thing, what do they wistfully reminisce about when they are older?
Avatar 7:18pm
Ange:

They came in for their 2nd bedbug treatment today... looks like Grandma is free of bedbugs, and I just got scared by a mosquito
  7:20pm
Ugh:

When will you get rid of the stds?
Avatar 7:21pm
bobdoesthings:

@blunterson - I like to think back, wistfully, to how much I enjoyed alcohol.. and then I relive the memories.

she went along with it but the guy was stoopid? okay.

Ugh.

@ bob - Oh yeah, I forgot about all those memories.

Many of my ex-boyfriends are dumb guys
  7:27pm
JakeGould:

Man of my ex-girlfriends are just nuts! Why are all these dumb guys and nutty women out there? And I am the ONLY sane one. HOW! HOW!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:28pm
dale:

we've all dated people below us intellectually but you don't advertise how much better you were after the fact. if you were that person then you were on that level at that moment. or you're a fraud.

You can cut the narcissism with a knife. This is painful.

"...a little less complicated."

JakeGould:

Lee, shaddupayoface.

Robert:

Ange, when you say "for the story", do you mean for US? Because then it's a performance, and not sincere.
  7:41pm
Robert:

I did have a date once that I could sort-of say was for the "story". In fact, I even told the story 2 nights ago. It was an acupuncture date. I was dating a lady named Lina, just off the boat from China, and she offered to do acupuncture for my plantar fasciitis, which I happen to be suffering from again, almost 30 yrs. later.

There is another version of Andrea? Like Spock with a beard? And the agonizer?

For the story normally just means something to tell your friends

going out to look at the space station flyover for five minutes. i'm sure the man bashing will be continued.

Skirkie:

I wanna take that timid college version of me and slap him around.
  7:50pm
P-90:

@Ange: Did they bring one of those cool bedbug-sniffing dogs to confirm where the bugs were and weren't? When you say "scared by a mosquito," do you mean you didn't have them yourself, you saw a bite and figured you probably did?
Avatar 7:51pm
bobdoesthings:

@p-90 like roscoe?!
  7:52pm
Robert:

But Callieflower, it's practically a performance if you're just telling your friends too. The only difference here is the size of the audience. There could be DOZENS of us!
  7:52pm
P-90:

Oh is Roscoe that famous beagle that's been on tv, etc?

bobdoesthings:

uh yeh!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:56pm
dale:

this woman will never find someone her equal. because she thinks no one is.
  7:56pm
P-90:

That's universal, I think- what she just said about being around guys from time to time who were SO appropriate "on paper,' but not feeling that "spark" and not being able to fake it or conjure it out of nowhere just because someone is "theoretically" a great match.
  7:59pm
P-90:

So did she make it to Montreal?
  7:59pm
JakeGould:

@Skrikie: “I wanna take that timid college version of me and slap him around.” Is that why you drove up and snagged Andy}s money?
Avatar 8:00pm
Ange:

"For the story" often means "for the story I tell my friends" -- radio show is less than a year old!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:00pm
Skirkie:

Honestly I just really wanted some money.
  8:00pm
P-90:

@Jake & Skirkle: HAhaha- timid no more! take that, college self!
  8:01pm
Robert:

But Ange, isn't that the same thing? A story to tell an audience?
  8:01pm
JakeGould:

Skrikie, FWIW I literally said out loud, “lLook at that fucking yuppie in is Prius!” No disrespect.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:01pm
Skirkie:

It's actually a Kia
  8:02pm
JakeGould:

Okay, Kia. Sorry for misrepresenting your Yup-mobile!

Murakami Whywolf:

I've always considered intelligence to be the measure of your <em>lack</em> of need to have bad experiences in order to learn.

The more I hear, the more glad I am to be autistic, to have met my super-smart/kind wife when I was seventeen years of age, and to have never, ever, been out on a date---the institution seems designed to make men and women hate each other even more than would be the case from childhood brains-washing alone....

I also hate 'amusement' park rides.

Query: what if you get older, and start to really understand your own worth, and realise that it's even lower than you'd thought?
