“Bad Egg Date”
When my mom was in her early 20’s, she agreed to go out with a man from Spain who spoke very little English. She was bored to tears until he broke the silence with a last minute attempt to win her heart with a sincere compliment. He said in his best romantic tone, “Your hair is as beautiful as a fried egg.” Mom left trying to conceal her laughter…. And never saw him again!!

“No Romance in London”
In London, 20something Daisy went out to dinner with a handsome man. After they had dinner he told her that he wanted to go to bed with her! Daisy stated in her thick Dutch accent, “Nothing Doing!!” He then told her that she owed him that for dinner by saying “Why do you think I took you out and bought you dinner?” Daisy then told him “Too bad!” she slapped some money on the table and caught a cab home and left him at the restaurant. Daisy is now 91 years old and has been happily married for 30 years!!

“Don’t Lose Your Pants!”
When I was 19 years old I was so excited to go on a date with an older man (21years old) and ride on his motorcycle! We had just started riding when I slipped off the back and we both fell! The fall ripped my pants right off!! Fortunately I was okay but so embarrassed! I must have had made quite an impression because he did eventually propose and we were married for over 50 years!!
