I don't understand why anyone would find that appealing, unless they were hunters too. And that guy wasn't so nice after all. The more that I thought about it, the more I wished I hadn't apologized to him after the date because I feel like he owed ME an apology.Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-66463068433680332372018-04-13T07:32:30.313-05:002018-04-13T07:32:30.313-05:00Luckily not humiliated, as far as I remember. I...Luckily not humiliated, as far as I remember. I've probably been moody and surly or too opinionated (not that we shouldn't have opinions but when even my own inner voice is telling me "shut up already, you're being too dogmatic!" there's a problem). You're right -- how nice a guy could he be if he thought that kind of joking was funny, and if he wasn't even willing to consider switching seats?<br />Ugh, pictures of animals they've killed, really?

When I sent him a message on Facebook making it clear that it wasn't okay for him to say stuff like that, he ignored me; he didn't even have the decency to apologize. I think he was just scrambling because his entire act was awful. NG's inability or unwillingness to understand made me wonder what else he wouldn't get.Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-49798047066918015082018-01-29T08:46:43.515-06:002018-01-29T08:46:43.515-06:00A break sounds like a good idea--so does writing a...A break sounds like a good idea--so does writing a book about all these dates. ;-) <br /><br />I'm sorry you had to put up with that comedian and that NG turned out to be be missing the N, after all.

I also sent a message to the host of the show, and he tried to downplay it by making it seem like it wasn't a big deal; I insisted that it was and that the behavior (and his attempt to excuse it) was unacceptable.<br /> A friend remarked that maybe that "comedian" helped show Nice Guy's true colors. It did bother me that NG didn't fully understand how much that jerk's statements hurt me.Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-39732919285745509342018-01-26T14:48:16.572-06:002018-01-26T14:48:16.572-06:00UGH sexual harassment from stage is NOT COOL.

Nice Guy claimed that we had to sit there because it was assigned seating, but I bet that several people would have been more than willing to swap seats in order to sit closer to the stage. And it did bother me that that guy didn't understand how much the loser on stage bothered me and humiliated me.<br /> And see that's the thing. I don't make a lot of requests of the guys I go out with, at least not on the first or second date when we're still getting to know each other. So it did bother me that he didn't understand where I was coming from.

I sent an angry message to the host of the show and he tried to make it seem like the comedian didn't do anything wrong, but I made it clear that both he and the comedian were wrong. <br /> Seinfeld, though, would be okay. I feel like even if he picked me out of the audience, he wouldn't be a jerk about it like that "comedian" was.Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-90036309996048130052018-01-23T20:14:21.781-06:002018-01-23T20:14:21.781-06:00Oh girl.

Go sit and be where you want and say, "you can join me here at this table if you want to continue this date. Otherwise, have fun being a target for terrible jokes."<br /><br />I'm totally cheering for you!!!! Start demanding and never feel guilty. This is your forever guy. So if they can't at LEAST try to please your littlest of requests, have them move on.Tammy Theriaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128574900510175415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-85404566996477349622018-01-23T19:02:17.004-06:002018-01-23T19:02:17.004-06:00That comedian was extremely rude and there's n...That comedian was extremely rude and there's no way you should have had to deal with that.
