I'm never dating again. Ever.

Monday I went on the most awkward, appalling, horrific date in the history of awkward, appalling and horrific dates.

I'm still trying to recover from the trauma so I won't relive it by going into detail here. But I will say that this date entailed a scripture, a prayer, and a theory that 9-11 was the result of gay marriage and pornography.

Enough said.

I'm laughing so hard, I'm crying.

Oh, Bri. Don't feel too bad. I went on a first date once and the guy drove me up to the Provo temple parking lot (in an orange VW station wagon) and just turned off the engine and looked at me. It was bizarre and scary!! Heck, at that point, I thought the oxen in the temple were real!!!!

He proceeded to start asking me all sorts of "what do you think" questions. I lastd about ten minutes then said "What do you think if I told you I am feeling sick?" I made him take me home.

The problem is Bri, you just overwhelm these poor boys (not so much with your charm) with your looks, intellect and reality based approach to life. They just can't handle it.

Although, I do think the prayer part is sort of cute....he didn' ask you to say it did he? :)

oh, he asked. And he wanted to kneel. I refused.

Not cute. Crazy.

Well, give him some credit for wanting to anyway. I think it's admirable - and to be honest - you certainly do want a guy who doesn't have the spirituality of a rock.

Spare me.
You would think it was "admirable"

Whatever that means.

bri you crack me up...

I heard a rumor that you actually aren't supposed to pray together on dates. It puts you at a conflict or something with yourself and what you're actually feeling. A friend of mines bishop told her not to pray with her boyfriend because the feelings can easily be mistaken for something other than what they really are...

I agree it was crazy, and you handled it much much much better than I would have.

whoa. I'm late here. But let's focus on the 9-11 reference. Is he Jerry Falwell or something?

NUT JOB.
