    Since nobody has been brave enough to tell a story, I’ll go first. This is a very condensed version of a story I emailed to Shea back in her Naked City days…
    I met a guy while out in KC one evening with friends. After going through the run down (age-appropriate, not married, no kiddos) we exchanged numbers and email addresses and kept in touch over the next couple weeks. We made dinner plans for my next visit to KC. We carried on intelligent, fun and interesting conversations and emails.
    We met at a fancy restaurant on The Plaza, shared a bottle of wine before dinner while getting along fabulously, we were clicking!
    Our dinners were served and while I was enjoying a bite of the delicious grilled asparagus he said to me, “So my wife and I live separately in different wings of the same home because our son would not be able to handle us getting a divorce.”
    WHOA!
    Without going into all the details that followed, that was the last time I saw or spoke to him.

    Oddly enough I don’t have a lot of bad first date stories. several years ago I did have a first date on Valentine’s Day. Yea not a good idea. He claimed he didn’t realize it was V-Day. After dinner he took me to meet his friend at a cemetery and then proceeded to roll a joint. While I may be known to enjoy myself occasionally, this was not something this gentleman would have known. What a great first impression.

    My worst first date (or the most memorable) was actually with my now husband. We worked in the same building and decided to go to lunch, as we walked to his car we were chit chatting and he asked me if I was from Kansas and how long I lived here, etc. I told him that I just moved back to Wichita after being in the Air Force. His response was “oh, you must be a right wing conservative republican.” In my mind the date was over. Lucky for him I gave him another shot. We’ve been married for 2 years now.

    My worst first date was a long time ago and I had met this person through a mutual friend. Upon meeting, she was very nervous and shy. As the ice broke, I realized she had just come out of a bad relationship and she proceeded to tell me how much she hated men!

    She told me her fate in men rested on our date and continued to give me weird looks every time AND it must have been about 20 times. She went on to say how no one would screw around on her and get away with it any longer. That “no one women would love like she would”. Dinner may have only been an hour, but it seemed like a full day.

    We then went for ice cream (as if I needed to repent and take more torture) and that’s when the flood gates opened. We began to disagree on many issues and then she began her “all men are all alike” speech. I did hear back from her a few days later, but never returned her call.
