He was No Edward!

*Another blind date*
We went to dinner and it was going well, he seemed normal. I was asking the regular first date questions, when he asked if he could ask a few of his own. I was excited and said of course. His first question: What is your deepest darkest secret? (Talk about a weird question for a first date...or any date for that matter) I replied "Oh I watch America's Next Top Model"
"That's not a secret"
"It is at my house...if that is no good then what is yours?"
"Oh you could handle that"
"Try me"
"Alright, but no laughing"
"Promise"
"I have vampire tendencies!"
{small giggle} "Oh really, what kind?"
"No I'm serious the smell of blood causes an arousal within me"
{realizing he is serious} "Oh...well I guess you could never be a phlebotomist" {trying to laugh}
"You don't think I'm serious, do you?"
"Oh no I believe you and look at that there is my house. I'll just walk myself to the door." (thinking that I could drop and roll with minimal injuries at this speed)
"No I will.."
"Actually, you have been a great date, I just feel sick and would like to skip the whole door scene."
"Alright thanks for coming"

I have never been so scared and on the edge of laughter like that on a date before. I later found out that the girl who lined us up had been on a date with him as well and he did the same thing to her. And people say that Twilight has only had an effect on women...that is bull, it has now introduced new pick up lines.

This is what comes from telling the truth

About nine mouths ago I went on a date with this really great guy and well things fell away and one day he crossed my mind again. So I took a deep breath and texted him (I know very big deal); to my surprised he replied. We went back and forth for awhile when I got the nerve to ask him for help (aka I lied to him) by saying I had some accounting questions for him (which I didn't) and if I could ask them over ice cream. Now I was in big trouble...do I go ahead and make up questions or tell the truth?

I'm not very smooth and knew that if I tried to come up with questions he would see right through them. So once again I knew I would have to put myself out there and come clean. The moment came faster than expected and he asked "so what about those questions?"
{deep breath}"Actually there are not questions, I just wanted to see how you were doing and was too chicken to just ask you out...so yeah!"
{smiling} "Well, Lindsee how is your family?" We continued to talk and I think it went well...I guess we will see. Right now I just feel nervous and hoping that he doesn't think I'm weird; however if not at least I can say I did all I could.
