First Date. Terrible. Sigh.

Be thankful he didn't take you down the local park and show you how to cast a fly line.

Agreed.

Fishing is a bit...pikey.

Started off fine, but then he began saying how we should go back to his when the pub closes, so he can play me his guitar. Cue many elbow nudges from me, nudge nudge, wink wink. Turns out he doesn't have much of a sense of humour (strike one) and insists that he is a great guitar player and would love to play for me. I squirm uncomfortably as I realise he's serious.

There are so many blokes out that who think they can play a musical instrument (I used to play the recorder at school myself!) and are actually quite terrible, that you should feel quite safe saying "Oh god, you're not a musician are you?" in a totally condescending voice anytime a bloke makes a suggestion you let him play his instrument for you...

Especially the guitar - It's so boring and derivative, the way most people play, and frankly naff.

But unfortunately, it seems to work

I know a few ladies locally who have been charmed by the local guitar strumming gigolo. It seems to convey some depth of personality which some find irresistible

Better luck next time, MP. Trust me, there are some non-guitar-playing non-sleazy blokes out there. I hope you find one. Or at least get a decent sh@g!

I play the oboe, a pink one.

Anyone else care to share bad date stories?

I could write a book - I have hundreds of them.

I'll pull up a chair to listen.

You're lucky! Some of us dream of even having a bad date. That how sad cases end up with something like ex-mrs HAB

It's a lot better now I dress on the other side.

[cojak]

Nowt wrong with a geek!

Only ones without a sense of humour or the ridiculous...

Don't let it put you off Mary!

You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find one that speaks English...

Erm ... I don't think he's Pogle's hubby. Double points if he is though - communting between London and Manchester is quite tough

? Or are you calling Polge & MP munters?
