For Better or for Worse (Agency citas)

[papi]

I was watching the news the other night and there was a story about a guy who agreed to get tied up and his date got vampire on him. If it bleeds in leads…apparently, he barely escaped with his life. I kid you not.

Well, this story got me thinking that while I have had my share of bad citas I never had ANY chica that nuts. There was the girl that wanted an extra slab of baby beef carryout to feed mommy and the family pooch, the occasional taxi scam and of course the notorious tennis shoe bandita.

My best first date was probably when my cita posted at the agency and said she’d prefer to get pizza domicilio instead and watch TV

On your mark ready set let's go
Dance floor pro I know you know
I go psycho when my new joint hit
Just can't sit
Gotta get jiggy wit it

So what was your best and worst date?

[markanthony7]

I remember I went on a date with a young lady and her cousin was with us ,I paid for both of their meals no big deal but then she said she wanted me to buy some extra carryout for cousins lunch at work tommorrow!, the young ladies were actually nice but they just had that its a "Gringo on the block mentality" and if you look like a lemon they will squeeze you!

But some of the nicer dates I have experienced were dates women young ladies offered to stay in my apartment and prepare a meal rather than me wining and dinning them and expending my personal finances, I find this to be a selfless act demonstrating her genuine concern for the relationship more than the extravagant or convenient

then she said she wanted me to buy some extra carryout for cousins lunch at work tommorrow!,

that is incredible. i have 0 patience for this stuff anymore

[markanthony7]

It use to make me mad but I don't know if I am a softy but I can empathize with their poverty and duressful situation, I would not wish their dilemma on my worst en enemy, the way I handled it I just checked her through an interpeter and explained her indiscretion and then monitored the situation

[sean126]

Wow, you guys handled those type of situations ALOT better than I used to.

Some girl I had just met tried to pull some like that stuff on me.  We was sitting in a restaurant and we was done eating.  When the waiter brought the check, she said she wanted an order of Baby Beef for her sister at home. So I calmly and politely set my book that I had with me and two canned goods on the table.  I looked in my Hong Kong Book of Kung Fu to see which technique to use for such and occasion and then I asked the waiter for a can opener and I took one of the can goods off the table and I OPENED UP A CAN OF WHOOP A** ON HER!!!! Needless to say I didn't get a good night kiss for the dinner that she ate.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
I crack myself up.

Well Sean and Papi, I always struggle in this area, when I see the impoverishment they are subjected too on the continual bases, I have sympathy for them and I feel judgement because I wounder what type of person I would be if I were born in a bad situation like but there is another side of me that speaks to my conscience and says there is a certain amount of moral responsibility that is required of everyone, if you paid for a young ladies dinner to a certain degree she should be grateful but they see it as an opportunity to exploit you, the deceitfulness is what irritates me

[sean126]

My story didn't really happen.  I just think it sounds funny.
I know what you mean, I've got a big heart and I'm a soft touch.  I've had people take advantage of me and I used to get really irritated, now I just chalk it up to me doing the right thing for the right reasons and if they decieved me....shame on them.  I let The Boss upstairs deal with it. 

I don't think I ever had a BAD date.   The closest I've come is meeting someone through the telephone dating in the newspaper.  It used to be really popular.  I met her for dinner and she was nothing like she described her personality to be and we didn't have anything to talk about. After that I learned to meet for coffee rather than a whole dinner.  If it went well after an hour, I would usually spring for dinner to talk more.

Bring home something for the cousin's lunch??? That kills me.
Hey Baby, How cute is your cousin? Maybe I can take her to dinner tomorrow? jeje

Mine aren't agency citas, but I can say that from my 2 Venezuelan's both were always willing to pay for everything and sometimes I let them. My best date was probably at the top of the mountains in Caracas. It was a good view, good food, romantic setting, everything! It ended up running like a $130 and she was 100% willling to pick up the tab because she wanted to take me somewhere special. She got big points for that.

On the other hand, all my other Venezuelan best dates always turned out to be the worst. Usually everything was kosher and then the chickee would start acusing me of something crazy.  One example: "V-Dude you will never be faithful because you have a Jeep". (Yes, and don't ask me why. I have no clue) Later in the date, I would start spending a lot of time trying to understand this werid crap, and then we would end up fighting. That usually ruined the date, but all in all though, I have not had an outright bad date down there.

In hindsight, I think in Colombia I may have been led to a nicer restaurant assuming that I would be paying, but I'm cool with it.

While I am thinking about it. When the Venezuelan was here, we went to Arby's. Later when I was talking to her sister. In this really sad voice like a pouting 4 year old, her sister says: "My boyfriend never took me to Arby's" That just makes me laugh.

Careful Sean...

One example: "V-Dude you will never be faithful because you have a Jeep". (Yes, and don't ask me why. I have no clue)

LOL! sounds logical. welcome to latinaville

Ray, good cartoon.

Sean, why did you have to do newspaper ads? You are young and almost as good looking as me  Is it that bad nowadays in Gringaland?

[sean126]

Papi,

I did those newspaper adds before the Match.com and yahoo personals thing took off, back around 94-95.  You'd see a very brief description in the paper (all the adds were together) and then you'd call this number, punch in the girl's code and hear her profile and then you'd leave a message if you wanted to.  I didn't have a computer then and I think I was about 26 or so at the time and I was tired of trying to meet girls in a bar.

I was always trying new ways to meet women.  You name it, I've tried it.  I've done everything but stand outside the girls bathroom and wait for them to come out. 

I don't know, I was always shy and I guess on a dating relate thing, it was easier for me....because I knew they was there to specifically meet men.  It's alot easier on the Ol' ego than to walk up to a stranger and try to strike up a conversation. 

Can you imagine....Me walking up to a strange woman and stuttering my butt off trying to strike up a conversation?  She'd probably think I was one of Jerry's Kids or something and give me a dollar before I could say "yyyyoooour ppppprrretty, wwwwwhhhhhaaaaats your nnnnnnnnnaaaame?"  Either that or call the cops because she thought I was a drugged out wacko getting ready to do something to her.  LOLOL.    I was always used to just standing there smiling and waiting for them to approach me in a bar or something. 

It was better when I was drinking.  I didn't stutter at all then, but that didn't work out to well either.  It wasn't the lack of opprotunities to meet women, it was the lack of quality women and my bad decision making at the time.     

[papi]

i don't get it pretty boy...but hey looks like you found your way. seems like you would have done just fine in streets unless things are really that bad out there. does not say much about the chance for the rest of us if we tried to go domestic vs import. By the way, i am an old fart and remember the newspaper personals before the internet

[sean126]

I remember a bad date when I was in my "hey-day" prime.  I was about 22 I think, had the Johnny Depp hair, tan and goat-tee thing going on and I remember, what appeared to be at the time, a pretty girl at a bar that I was at who was coming on to me and invited me back to her place.  So, having more than a few strong high-balls in me and being young and full of "p and v"  I took her up on her offer.  
Well, after going back to her place and having the freaky monkey sex... I guess I sobered up a little and I realized that while laying in her bed with her beside me, exactly why men say "the women get prettier at closing time."  Wow!!!!  If Moses would have seen this girl in the light, we would've had another commandment...."Thou Shall Not Be So Ugly".  So what was I to do?  She had passed out with my arm resting underneath her mammoth size head. So, I did what any self respecting man would do in a "coyote ugly" situation.  I chewed my arm off.  It sounded like a good idea in my head at the time, but in my drunken stupor I CHEWED OFF THE WRONG ARM!!!!!!!

Of all the damn bad luck, huh?

[catz]

Sean,

 You need serious help young man... LOL 

Catz

P. S. Coyote Arm: The worst arm of the day!

[papi]

Sean, don't feel bad, it could have been worse....una chica con un antena   

[markanthony7]

Well as I disclosed in my last post I did not take a hard stance against the young ladies indiscretion, do you guys think I should? some times I wounder if I am to soft and passive, the good book proverb says "the leach has to sisters give and give"
