Dating in NJ...

in International Nesties

On Wednesday, I was set up with a 43 year old Jersey Shore wannabe. 

Tonight a 43 year old retired NBA player hit on me...and lied about his age.  Apparently I'm "beautiful" to him and he wants to take me golfing...even though he's currently dating someone else.  His opening line, "You look like you've never been with a black man before"

Can dating get ANY better?!  OMG!

    I was intrigued at the retired NBA player but the rest of that paragraph was pretty nasty.  Yuck.

    At least you have some good stories!

    Yikes! Oh, the joys of dating. Some experiences are great, others comical, others just filed under "strange".

    You look like you've never been with a black man before;... Is that a proposition? I don't understand exactly how that works as a pickup line lol

    That's fabulous.  Ah, the adult dating world.  It makes me laugh. (I dated up into my 30s, so I did a LOT of dating).
    I like pineapples...they make life just so much more interesting.

    I probably would have said, "I have, actually.  He was a lot better looking than you." and then walked away.

    Haha, love this!  Actually I told him I only date Jewish men.  He said I don't look very Jewish.  I said, "Well, you don't look very black!"  He thought it was hilarious.  Oy!

    Yikes!  You'd think a 43 year old man would have a bit more class and a bit more game than that.  But he was right, you are beautiful!!

    Thankfully no!  I was at a local pick-up bar with some girl friends of mine.  It was nice to get out with the girls, but I think I'm going to steer clear of bars like that for a long time!

    So what would you look like AFTER you are with a black man? lol. Would you have a tan all of a sudden? lol I cannot believe he said this to you.
