You know what's odd? It seems everyone on here has had that experience except for me. My friends, whom are few and far between, have always understood that I walk my own path. It saddens me to hear about people being so misunderstood by others in the guise of "friend."

Dale, it seems you had a great first date. But did you see the lass afterwards?
Regards,
Mike

Alas, no. She wasn't explicit about why, but I had the strong impression she was embarrassed by her own behavior at the bar and back at her place after that. (One of those "I'm a nice girl, and nice girls don't behave this way!" kinda things.) Personally I'd have been willing to put up with much more of the same, but. . .no.

I've had friends do things like ask me to wear a less yellow shirt and so on... Those are the wrong shoes, the wrong hair cut, etc...

I don't like people anymore and I've become a long haired, desert hermit; not yet grizzled yet, though.

I also haven't dated, etc, for about fifteen years, so you'll have to get advice from MacLowlife.

Leave me alone and stop clanking the lock on my gate! :Mad:

I think the shorts would have looked wonderful as a hat.

If you wanted to be agreeable you could have put the shorts on.............under your kilt!

Now it's a pitty you didn't have a spare kilt at the time and announce to your "friend", ...."But, I was going to ask YOU to slip on this kilt so you would'nt have to be embarrassed to be with me."

Your "Friend" must feel and be very insecure amoungst his "Friends" in the Bar !

Remind your friend "Real men wear kilts".

I have worn my kilt on many an occasion in England of all places (The Old Enemy) and never had a critical comment. My true friends do comment that I may spend a lot of my time being held upside down .... just to check if you see what I mean.
