Any joke here would just be wrong. But there are a million going through my mind.

I think you win...you need to submit it to James Patterson for a short story!

Yeah, he kept trying to call me after that but I was trying to make it clear that I was no longer interested. I really thought he was a nice guy, except that his hands were really soft, like gross satiny man hands soft. Luckily, I met Leo shortly after that.

His hands were probably preserved and soft from embalming fluid or something.

That's what I thought about every time I held his hand, EEEEWWW

I had a recent date that went horribly wrong.

We met. Went out several times and had fun. It was around our 6th-7th time to go out that I went to her place and found her drinking. No big deal right? So she had a drink before I got there. I no longer drink, but I have no problem with it as long as others don't get sloppy drunk around me. And she knows that. Well, that is exactly what she did. It was like watching a train wreck. She became a totally different person that I had to baby-sit all night. We went out to dinner and she wanted to sit at the bar. She was knocking over chairs and she even ate with her hands. We went back to her place where (long story short) she manages to drunk-dial the wrong people and gets fired from her job. Now that takes talent = getting fired on your night off! Anyway, her employer came to her place to take the company van back from her and she went "drama-mode" on me. She couldn't find the keys for the van, didn't want them to know she was drunk and couldn't even remember why or if she had gotten fired! Once that was over she lay on the bed and wanted me to come lay down with her. She was an attractive woman, but not anymore. She had showed her true self and I wanted no part of it. I got outta there asap. A few days later she txt me "I just got out of jail" - I didn't respond and haven't called her since. That was near 2 months ago. I feel kinda bad about giving her the snub. But I don't want/need people like that in my life.

I'd say that was a good call David. Especially if she knew how you felt about drinking.....
I see your parents at church a lot. How is Daniel and Lindsey? They have 2 girls right?

Yea, good call David. It sounds like that wasn't a random occurrence for her.

I dated a girl for five years. I first started dating her my senior year of high school. She was 15 and I was 17 (turning 18 soon). During the first few years, it was wonderful! We had such a great time. It turned from a dream into a nightmare! I had a drug problem and secretly did hard drugs behind her back. I was experimenting with LSD and ecstasy. Sometimes, I even went for a little cocaine. I tried to keep her from it, but she found her way into the same drugs with her friends from school. She secretly moved on to shooting up morphine. Our relationship became that of two idiotic people stuck on drugs. The last year was a tough one. We spent a lot of time arguing over stupid things because the drugs had affected our decision-making process.

I say we were both to blame, but it still sucked none-the-less.

We have since talked out our issues and all is good. I would not ever date her again, nor would she probably date me.

I have not dated since I cleaned up off the drugs, so I do not know if it will get better, but have faith that it will, so ignore the not knowing part. haha I expect that love is just around the corner. I am waiting to go around the corner when I feel I am done walking up and down this street alone.

Alone, but you aren't - there are always friends. There is us - people to talk to. I know what you mean about dating, but always imagine that the right girl just hasn't turned her corner to find you. It can happen both ways. I wish you the best in love and the strength we all need in life.

At least your off the drugs at a young age. I know too many people who are into their 30's and are still partying like they are in college.

What's the old cleche about recovery and dating? Keep a plant alive for a year...then keep a fish alive for a year...then go on a date. Something like that. With the amount of NA meetings I have attended with my grandma you'd think Id have it down.

Anyway, I am so proud of you, Paul. You're too great for all of that nonsense.
