  • What is your worst dating experience?

    Being setup for a surprise blind date by my parents:

    My dad, of all people, calling me up to go get something to eat with my mom and then both leaving me there to eat with this, this--person:  a woman 5 years older than me (I was 28 at the time), not that she was unattractive looking--but her smug, superior, attitude made her homlier by the nanosecond (her first action was to give me her business card with a bunch of letters on it--my thought was "Geesh, is that all you are: a bunch of letters?" and "Are all Taiwanese women like this?")--, and obviously looking for a quick match to keep her from getting deported since her visa expired only recently before the date.

    She was impressive all right like a Karate-Kid Crane Kick to the face.  Needless to say it took all my energy to remain civil to her.  For those who know me this is an impressive feat in and of itself.

    This was also the same--person--I had the distinct--pleasure--of meeting at my friend Jason Quan's wedding who was so excessively friendly to the point of hatefulness and confirmed hatred when she HAD to show me her rather large engagment ring and point out her physician financier & La Migra savior--excuse me financee and lover--I think I wrote a poem about her some months ago.

    I certainly wish her happiness, long life, and many lovely children as long as I don't have to interact with her ever again.  I guess Shakespeare's Hamlet wasn't off when he said, "God gives you one face, and you make yourself another."  Such women do exist.

  • @juiru - Gosh
    "Cheaters" is the current epitome of an evil show that sensationalizes,
    for entertainment, the ugly,  grotesque, ungracious, and unforgiving,
    nature of Americans nowadays.  It seems like exactly type of Sodom and
    Gomorrah behavior that should be overcome with goodness and kindness.

  • What would you do if you suspected your significant other of cheating on you but couldn't prove it?

    If one had a good communcation relationship with the significant other then one would have seen the signs already of a dying relationship.  Or would have resolved this type of issue in the first place.  Like Dr. Laura says, "A person in a relationship where his [or her] needs are met isn't going to go looking for satisfaction elsewhere."

    But with that aside, I'd probably seek help first with a marriage and family counselor and see he shrink individually first to see if the problem is my lack of trust or something screwed up with me first.

    Then I'd probably confront my significant other first.  No need to pansy around the subject and act Jerry-Springer-like or even catishly dramatic like most females that I have had the misfortune of working with.  Take the person out to a nice lunch, dinner, etc and gentle broach the subject.

    If it is serious (like I'm married to this person--if it's just dating then I'd end with the last step unless it's getting serious) then I'd hire out a private investigator.
