An 11 year old walking towards me, on the street in Oakland said, "Hey mama, mmmm, your lookin' good!" He looked serious, it freaked me out, and then it cracked me up.
Here are two first date stories involving out-loud statements:
I went on a date with a guy who was really trying to impress me with his BMW bike, and, I don't know, his costly leathers. Anyway, we went to see the movie Ghost, and I was sort of rolling my eyes at the predictable good white man go to heaven/ bad man with an accent go to hell thing. So when a "bad man" died, I was ready for the wraithlike devil dogs to come and get him, and I meant to say "hounds of hell", but I said "Ok, here come the dogs of hell", and the wiener (I mean, date) turned to me and said "Um, I believe the correct term is hounds of hell"
ding. Date Over.
Around the same time I went out with a Swiss guy who was super nice, but super exuberant, and a little arrogant like the "wild and crazy guys" from Saturday Night Live. On the day of our first real date, we were in the school computer lab [insert sound of many people typing] the Swiss guy turned to me and said, grinning, "Let's have sex tonight! Would you like that?" [All typing ceases in computer lab]
