What if your date said they'd watched someone else play Persona 4, and had seen the anime of it twice?
Whut?Binnsyboy said:
That's mental. It's a good thing you got away from that, that's emotional manipulation at it's worst.
OP: I don't think I have any stories about dates being crazy or weird.
Wait... Does that mean that I might be the crazy one?
Hmm, acceptable enough. I don't really bother with the anime though, every time I go to watch it I get around two episodes further in and get the urge to go and just play the damn game. The endless references to the game does it, soundtrack, sliding day calendar etc etc. Plus I really do not care for the anime's interpretation of the main character. It's a tough one for them to do really, seeing as they have to take all the possible conversations choices and condense them into one character. Either way you're going to be pissing somebody off.sky14kemea said:But dude, Kanji is awesome! D:The Wykydtron said:

Apparently I'm not your dream girl. Just FYI.
Anyone who can write an essay on Persona 4 (I can accept 3) is at least worth a first date.
I can forgive your lack of League because at least I don't have to listen to half arsed excuses as to why "ehhh I don't need to ward, they're a waste of money!" >.> i'm more of a 2D fighter kind of guy so i'll have to convert you to BlazBlue because ArkSys is the best right now.
However, the lack of glasses is kind of a big deal... Instead, can you pull off wearing a beret or any other sort of hat stylishly? Then we'll still be in business.
[sub][sub]I-I just have a thing for women wearing cool hats alright?[/sub][/sub]
Indeed. Though I went on to point out pulling the suicide card was downright evil, I had the satisfaction of absolutely flooring her with my initial reaction: "how is that my problem?"Colour Scientist said:
Shame about the date. It seemed to be going so well...[/sarcasm]
I've been on a date with a girl who told me that she'd had three first dates, but that all of them somehow involved proposals of some form. When I hinted with the most blatant hints possible that I would not be doing that, she seemed extremely disappointed. Not the best date I've ever had, and I wasn't interested in a person who would constantly expect me to propose.
I've made a point of only doing small embellishments, if even that. It's worked a lot better, and produced a few quite memorable dates. I am a good cook, and I can be pretty witty and charming, so I just let it roll. I don't brag about skills I don't have, unless it's clear I'm being sarcastic.

Well that's how a thread entitled 'Dates And Bragging' is likely to go. You knew what you were getting into when you signed up.SimpleThunda said:
I know a few braggarts. People are too polite to pull them up on it, but I'm a bit of a twat so I do so merrily. The most recent was a former coworker, who, rather unprovoked, announced he had an officially recognised IQ of 186.
My brother has...153 I think and has an official Mensa membership. I asked the 186 a few questions leading in the wrong direction about the treatment of his massive IQ and he conceded that "The online tests might have been unreliable..."
He probably doesn't think much of me. Then again, I brag too, but at least I boast about things that actually happened.
HAHAHA I actually properly laughed at this. Guys really do that? I would never have thought that would work. I guess now I know for sure it doesn't.LiberalSquirrel said:
OT: I've never really been on a date I usually just attempt (and fail 80% of the time) to pick up girls in clubs. So I guess I don't really have much of an experience like that. Also I find that girls don't really tend to brag too much anyway?
I guess a kind of fun story I could share at my own expense is recently I turned 20 and went out, and I was talking to this girl and we seemed to be getting on okay. I'd asked her what she was doing at college to which she answered "Music Production". A few minutes later the conversation kind of died and so to continue it I decided I would ask her more about her course. Unfortunately however as it was my birthday I was totally blitzed and had forgotten what it was she did. So I said "What is it you do again, art?". To which she looks at me blankly and says "Art?". "Yeah" I say. She then proceeds to walk away from me. Whats worse is I then realized I'd also forgotten her name.
I hated myself for the rest of the night.
It's not public shaming when sheSimpleThunda said:
A) doesn't use his name,
B) didn't post it anywhere he was likely to go (video games were never mentioned in his list of many hobbies),
C) didn't do anything but report what he said and let us make our own assumptions.
If we, the readers, believe him and his amazing skills, then he is not shamed.
my high school ex lied so much it still makes me laugh
she made up a fake sister just so she could talk shit about my ex without me getting mad at her
she made up having a kid who was "living with her dad" pointing out a picture of said baby on her own mantle which happened to be a picture of her
she also made up a brother, and friend of her made up brother who TOTALLY hit on her ALL the time LIKE seriously, in order to make me jealous (it didn't work as I'm not an idiot)
those are the big ones I suppose
I don't know what she was thinking

I almost said my favorite character was Adachi, but I figured I couldn't give him credit for things he said/did in the Comic Videos. "Let's talk about MUR~DER!!!"The Wykydtron said:
Mmm... I have not historically had good luck with non-Namco style fighters. The "fireball motion" has never come naturally to me. Thus Capcom-style (and similar) fighters have been pretty much impossible for me to do well in. I practiced a lot with Darkstalkers 3 and was semi-okay at that one with a couple of characters, but that thing's massively out of date now.The Wykydtron said:
And risk hat-head?! And looking like a Hipster?!The Wykydtron said:
[sub]I was actually going to post a picture of someonoe wearing a beret here, but when I went to look one up, I found someone who looked kinda like me... and wearing a beret, she looked like such a hipster I decided against it (and instead added the hipster comment above). I really dislike the hipster aesthetic. No offense intended to any hipsters reading this - I just don't like the choice of attire for myself.[/sub]
This might be out of place, but since you write "another episode" and "this is why I'm single" I take it you mostly meet crazy (and not the fun kind) people. If you only meet crazy people (again not the fun kind) the common denominator is you. This is not supposed to be an attack of any sorts its just the advice I always tell people if they complain about only meeting the "wrong" kind of people.SaetonChapelle said:
For some reson you are attracted to the wrong kind of crazy, or vice versa, but for a reason none the less.
OT: Bragging is just a rookie move, and the first couple of facts you wrote about him clearly depict him as a rookie so... no real suprise there. It's a bit like you went out with someone in his early teens.

xD You are probably very right. Funny enough right now I am seeing a kind gentleman of whom I'm very interested in. Of course anyone who is attracted to me seems to have some sort of problem. My guess this time is he collects deceased cat heads in his basement. Only time will tell
I'm pretty terrible with women on dates (and in general). I often times will go to the other extreme and state about all of the boring humble things in my life. I try to say good things about myself, but to be honest I get incredibly nervous and revert to being overly humble, which any girl will tell you is just as bad as being overly braggy.
OT: I have been on dates when the girl talks about how socially outgoing she is, how much she accomplishes at her office job, how she goes out to the mountains and beaches for her awesome vacations, how she is involved in this or that sport with the most awesome group of teammates ever, and how she gets to do so much with her posse of friends. I don't think that's overly bad, she's basically telling me about herself and it's nice to hear information about my date. But I find two issues with this, first it puts me on the spot since I'm very much an introvert (which is just a difference of personality that makes me nervous to talk about myself), and second telling me about how socially awesome you are isn't very attractive to me.

Well, I have certainly never been on a date, but I have come across people that think they know everything. Nothing irritates me more than that.
I suppose I will provide one example. I study military history, specifically the Second World War and the Pacific War in particular. Most of the time when somebody asks what I do I give them that answer and the conversation pretty much ends there. However, every once in a while I will meet somebody who insists that they must lecture me on all their extensive 'knowledge' of military history. I have spent the last 6 years of my life studying the stuff and I'm headed to graduate school in the fall, yet I don't even consider myself anywhere even close to an 'expert' on the subject. So no, unnamed person, you are not even remotely informed about the Second World War because you watched some terrible, C-grade 'History' Channel documentary and read an Osprey history of the Tiger tank.

Well, you will never find someone without problems, just find someone with the right problems, if that makes sense.SaetonChapelle said:

I guess I'll whip out my one and only date story, then.
The girl was absolutely nuts about me and I was meh about her, but being inexperienced I assented to a date because I had been in her position so many times. We ate after school (I was 17, she 16) and then went back to my house and made out in my room for a few hours, which SEEMED like a good idea since I had been in a state of crushing loneliness and depression for a few years at that time. My phone started ringing off the hook, and when I investigated several of my friends and my theater director had called me asking if I knew where this girl was- and it dawned on me that they didn't KNOW she was with me; they were literally calling everyone just to get the word out. The director had stopped the play and mobilized the entire audience to find her, because she was supposed to be there when the play had begun.
You see, she didn't get along with her parents very well, so she took it on herself not only to lie to them, but to create an entire web of lies several layers deep and involving three or four of her friends and fake cover stories to make our tryst happen. I drove her from my house to the school, where her parents were waiting, and her mother started yelling at me as if I was some kind of abductor. Her father joined and told me that I had "failed to be a true gentleman" but nonetheless it was mostly his daughter's fault. (This also happens to segue into my first drinking story, which happened immediately after and because of this event's conclusion, but it's a different yarn entirely and just as tiresome to set up.)
The next day she asked me where we stood via text messaging, and I told her no dice.

As for dates:
I have had a few, albeit all of them were quite pleasant, though the fallout wasn't quite as pleasant.
With my first gf, I had quite a few very nice dates, so hurray for that, though she managed to dump me in the most spectacularly asshole-ish way possible.
So, this year I tried to put myself out there again, and I asked a girl out, who flat-out didn't respond most of the time. AFTER we had already been on 2 "dates", which was quite aggravating, to say the least, but since I am a calm and balanced individual, I simply moved on and did certainly NOT almost break my hand as I punched a hole in a door, no sir.
