My weirdest date was the Ghostbuster's guy – a laid off contractor. Not uncommon at the time, I cut him slack. The restaurant we were meeting at closed so we went for coffee instead. I paid for his coffee when he announced he had no money but wondered if he planned to stick me with the dinner tab. He invited me to his house but he stopped for beer on the way and paid with money that magically appeared in his account.
The house was huge and beautiful and I walked in....filthy. I thought "Just needs a woman's touch". Then he showed me his foreclosure bills --major turn on right there, ladies!! Then, he showed me his "gear" (you know, proton packs, ghost traps, special patches, his suit)...and wanted me to watch him interact with his "crew" online. They get together often to roleplay GB live. There are actual clubs for this. He told me how he got a pole from a jobsite and wanted to install a it as a fireman’s pole to go from his living room to basement like in GB’s but ran out of money. When I tried to leave, he kissed me and I backed away very quickly. I walked out and saw his fireman's pole that he got at a jobsite.... rusting his dreams away...
The next weird one was a knitter. In his profile, he said “If on our second date, I bring you a sweater, don’t worry – it’s not a marriage proposal”. There was no 2nd date…
Re: Weirdest People You've been on a date with?
This guy and I were talking on the phone. We hadn't even had a date yet, just this phone call. We were talking about what we wanted to do with our lives. He told me he wanted to be a porn star. I thought that probably wasn't the greatest thing to tell someone you aren't already dating. Then he launched into this whole thing about how he looked into it and contacted agencies and everything. I was like, "Oh, okay..."
At the end of the phone call he asked to meet up for coffee. I only said yes because I wanted to get another look at this guy. I didn't remember him being that great looking. I remembered right. Maybe he could have starred in a Chubby Chasers or something. With him being the fluffy one. (I say this as someone who needs to lose some weight.)

Similar. But with red hair and no pony tail.
ETA: Probably a little heavier though.
[QUOTE]I went on a date once with a guy, well, over to his house and he cooked me dinner. Later we went to the living room where there was a couch and a reclining chair. He took the chair and I sat on the sofa. He offered me a beer. I declined. He offered me weed. I declined. Then he fell asleep in the recliner after a few and I hit the road.

At least that gave you an easy out!
Maybe FI and I are too picky. We've had some terrible double dates though...

[QUOTE]omg best thread ever! Muppet and Rachel, yours cracked me up! I have SO many, but here's a few that stand out: For our 2nd date (hindsight, maybe too soon), the guy wanted me to come over and him to make me dinner. So we do. The whole time he brags about how lucky I am that he makes me dinner. I said thank you like twelve times, but cut it off there. He eventually said something to the effect that I need to be thankful for this. After, we hung out on his deck, watched a hockey game, and somewhere on the couch, he half jumps me by laying on top of me and making out. He asks me if I want to take a nap in his bed. LOL I about died. For some crazy reason, I agree (hey a nap sounded good), but then he clings/cuddles me. It feels so awkward, I cannot even relax. Eventually I make up an excuse that I have to go home (I think I said I had to mow the lawn LOL for the dumb excuse). He even called me out saying it sounded made up.I left and within the week I called him to tell him myself that this wasn't working out where he screamed my head off and talked to me for about an hour b!tching...one second saying he didn't care and the next saying why couldn't I make it work? What is wrong with him?. I quickly realized he was bipolar. Another one was when I was a first date as a teenager. Nothing notable except after dinner the guy took me home to play video games with his brother. I was not impressed and thought it was weird. Another guy took me camping with a bunch of his friends where one of his friends was drunk and making out with my neck (literally) in the RV. They also later sat around a campfire trading racist jokes for about an hour. This same guy had racist propoganda on his bedroom walls I eventually came to learn. That's all I got off the top of my head, hope it provides some amusement, muppet!

YES. There are actually blueprints and CAD drawings that people sell to make them and people sell the spare parts. A few guys have a mold that they will make the outer part out of fiberglass withy. From there, you have to buy the rest separately often in pieces because to buy a put together proton pack, it was between $500 and $2000k. This guy had 3 proton packs of various price ranges and features and he was telling me this like it was an investment. The expensive one vibrates, lights up, and projects some sort of beam. He buys the lights that people hook up to them from China at a few dollars a piece, and resells them for say, $20.00 a piece. After all of the postage and expenses are said and done, he makes like $10 pre order. He thought he might be able to make a living off of this because he's getting about 10-20 orders per month. Then, he showed me that these metal backplates are really expensive to buy and wanted me to find out if I could supply them to him from my metal shop at work real cheap.
The ghost trap just made a noise but it looked like the movie one. He was very proud of his suits.They are basically khaki flight suits that he got from an army store....and he orders VERY official patches online. People actually cater to this specifically. So he had his name on it and a special patch from the local ghostbuster club that has the shape of the state of NH on it. At the time, he was having a fight with the organization and they wanted his patch back.
Holy crap - I found their website: <a href="http://ghostbustersnh.com/" rel="nofollow">http://ghostbustersnh.com/</a> You can see their proton packs, the special NH logo....and THE GUY!!! He is in the back row, 4th from the left.
And here's the equipment!!! <a href="http://ghostbustersnh.com/equipment" rel="nofollow">http://ghostbustersnh.com/equipment</a> bahahahahhahaa
The first I refer to as monotone voice boy. He litterally had no tone. He sounded like he had a tracheotomy. He was not a very interesting person and this made talking to him so much more boring. i was stuck with him for 4 hours because we had taken his car. As the date progresses I learn that he believes in cryptozoology and legit thinks bigfoot is real. He was also really rude to me when we first met. I said "Hi, my name is ______" and he replied "I thought we already established that" I should have taken that as a red flag and never gotten in his car. Needless to say there was no second date.
The other guy I refer to as PTSD cop guy. He was ex-military and currently worked for the sherriff's department. He literally spent the entire 1.5 hour lunch date tellling me in detail about every time he has been tasered or maced as part of military or police training. Then to lighten the mood he chose to end the date with an in depth discussion of his PTSD from hsi time in the military. Which it's fine that he needs to talk about that with someone but a first date isn't the right time or place. At least with that date I got good sushi. With monotone voice boy all I got was mall food court food and I paid for myself.
