Bloom Where You're Planted
One evening, as a 19-year-old college student, I met a guy. We spoke very briefly, he asked me for my number, then shortly thereafter called to ask me on a date. He picked me up and we went back to his house, where we made dinner. While on the date I found out that he was 28. He knew I was 19 when he asked me out. That's a little more of an age gap than I'm comfortable with. After dinner we re-potted his aloe vera plants. He had a lot of aloe vera plants.

Why Did I Have to Keep Telling the Truth?!
Guest Blogger!
It's not a date, but definitely one for the books.
My roommate came home from work for lunch. On her way out of the parking lot she saw a short man running towards the building she works in. Upon arrival back at work, this man approached her. Walking up to her desk he initiated a lengthy conversation.
He asked her a variety of strange questions, ranging from what her job was to whether or not she served a mission. She did not serve a mission, but he proceeded to ask her about her affiliation with the LDS church. He asked her how many children she had, she responded that she isn't married. He then asked her if she had a boyfriend and "like an idiot, I said no." He asked her how long it has been since she's had a boyfriend, "again, like an idiot, I answered honestly. It had been years." He was shocked.
He asked her if she saw him running earlier, which she had. He proceeded to tell her that he doesn't forget someone that beautiful, he came by several months earlier but was too shy to talk to her then. He told her she looks like someone he knew who is really beautiful, he told her he doesn't forget a beautiful face. He asked where she was from, she returned the question, he's from Peru. He took her business card and told her he said he was going to call, acted like he was going to call her then leave. Unfortunately, he didn't leave. He proceeded to ask about her brothers and sisters, and if they served missions. Her brother went to Paraguay, he said he hoped they could speak Spanish together sometime. At this point she emailed her office neighbor asking her to call her to call because this guy kept talking to her. She was sitting there sweating trying to get out of it.
He then asked what her undergrad major was, which she told him was public relations. His response was, "Oh that's really good, you know why? (huge smile) Because you're really beautiful and you need to be really beautiful to be in public relations." He then asked how many children she wanted, 12? 5? 12? She wasn't answering his questions anymore, simply answering with "I don't know." At this point she decided to fake deliver something, picked up a piece of paper. When she walked around her desk, he gushed about how nice it was to meet her. He said he was so grateful to meet her finally. He shook her hand and bowed while shaking. She walked away and locked herself in her boss's office for 10 minutes. When she came out he was down the hall and luckily he continued to walk down the hall then downstairs.
