Single Scenarios

The Things You Don’t Forget

• Jon:  “After being on a new date for an hour, I cut it short by pretending I’d received a text summoning me to an emergency. I don’t care how fine a woman is, I can’t stand to be in the company of one who complains. In this case, it ranged from her job to the food in the restaurant, to the hike in her rent.”

 

• Mike: “On our first date, she told me she was looking for a husband, and if I wasn’t interested in pursuing the possibilities between us, it was best for me not to call her again. I was fascinated by her directness, and I never stopped calling. We got married nine months later.”

 

• Will: “I went to pick up a date and her ex-husband opened the door, told me he was there to pick up the kids, and cordially invited me in. But my instincts told me not to enter.  I pretended I had suddenly forgotten something in my car, and drove away.  Later, I heard he’d shown up unexpectedly and pistol-whipped her into unconsciousness.  She survived, but we didn’t.”

 

• Rick: “The last woman I took out was so boring that I pretended to be sick immediately after dinner. I couldn’t even fake it long enough for dessert.  She was fine, but her lengthy conversation about her kids made me itch.”

 

• Tony: “A very wealthy woman sent me a Rolex watch as a birthday gift after our first date and though I  didn’t enjoy the date, I accepted it against the advice of my buddies.  I lived to regret that decision after she accused me of “playing her” because I was too busy to see her. again  She became an unrelenting stalker.”

 

• Isabella: “I was out with a guy on a second date, who casually mentioned that he had an ex-girlfriend, who was a “fatal attraction” type, and we had gone to a party. When we were leaving the party, I stopped in the bathroom while my date said he would wait outside.  Later, when I got ready to step out the door, I saw a woman walk up, and shoot him in the back.  She then turned the gun on herself and pulled the trigger. Unfortunately, he survived, but she didn’t.”

 

• Avery: “I’d been dating this guy steadily for two months when he told me that he was going to New York on business for a week, and invited me to come up and spend the day with him.  He flew me there, took me to a great restaurant, took me shopping afterward and bought me a new dress. We lasted a year”

 

• Riley: “I have a habit of smiling at passing strangers, and one day I was walking down the street with my boyfriend, and I smiled at a tall guy who was walking past us. Before I knew what hit me, my boyfriend smacked me across my head so hard that I fell to the ground.  But when I got up, I kicked that fool hard in his groin and left him in tears on the street.  Needless to say, we are no more.”
