Back Seat Driver

(Howdy! I'm at the Austin Film Festival this week. If any of y'all are down here, give me a shout! -JMG)

Story Sent in by Doris:

Melvin and I sat down together at a nice American restaurant for our first date. He took one look at the menu and said, "Whoa. Look at these prices. Tell you what: we go out to my car, I'll feed you in my back seat, and we call it a night?"

I declined his offer. He said, "Then the best I can offer is splitting a side of fries. That enough for you?"

It wasn't but I was okay with paying my share. When the waitress came over I ordered my dinner to go so that I could leave.

Melvin asked, "To go? What's the hurry?"

I said, "I just want to go home."

He asked, "Need a ride? Once we're done here and we're done in my back seat I can drive you."

"I drove here myself but thanks anyway."

My food came and I bid him goodnight.

  2. First date rules: bring your own money; have your own transportation; keep your dignity.

  5. Melvin needed to be given a melvin.You can't invite women to a sausage party in the back of your car if all you have to offer is a cocktail weenie.OP was not at all enticed by the offer and wanted a real meal that would satisfy her.Sausage party denied!

  7. You, sir, are a special kind of dumb, and you give every Melvin on this planet a bad name. No good, Melvin. No good.

    If 'cock sandwich' is your idea of appropriate first date cuisine, you need to rethink your values (or actually get some). Also, don't go on dates if you can't afford it.
