This guy was B O R I N G! He had absolutely no interests. He didn't like to read, go to movies, watch TV, do any sort of sports or watch any sort of sports. Frankly I don't think he did anything other than sit on his couch and stare at the blank walls. So then my co-worker's DH suggests that we all go to the beach for the afternoon. I was ready to bolt, but I didn't want to appear rude so agreed to go. Well we get there and this guy plops down on the grass and pulls his shirt off. I'm really not a shallow person, but I was repulsed by the sight of this guy shirtless. Definitely no attraction there. Thankfully my DD called around that time, and I ended up ducking out early saying that I needed to assist my DD with a project.

Maybe all of these bad dates made me really appreciate my first date with DBF. We actually met online. There was an instant attraction from the moment I laid eyes on him. We had a wonderful first date that I will always remember.
Definitely no attraction for that date from the get go! What prize did your co-worker get? I would have had to play some pratical joke on them!

Very though that you were instantly attracted to your DBF!

That is so sweet! I am a romantic at heart and love the "we were meant to be" stories! And it sounds like the two of you were!

Welllllll, he didn't speak to me for a while. I finally convinced him that I really was afraid of being duped. He had bought all new clothes for the date and was very excited about it. We set up another date and that was about 24 years ago and we've been married 22 of those.
What an image after that story! A grown man in underoos pacing his living room floor! alot! But how it ended! Did you ever buy DH underoos as a joke gift?

Reminds me of that song - Okay, so you've got a car that don't impress me much so you got the moves but have you got the touch...

Did you tell him to hit the road?
