Out with this woman, not really a date but kinda. She's not my type but it's something.

She's bemoaning her marriage ending. My response; "Oh, you're married?"

Turns out, she is but it's ending soon. Why? Because of infidelity. Not his, but hers. When I pressed her further, she told me it "just happened" because he wasn't giving her enough attention. I credit her for at least being honest but how do these things "just happen?" Aren't there other methods for getting attention? Why don't people take responsibility for these things anymore? How hard is it to stay faithful? If your partner is not giving you the attention you want it's because he/she isn't receiving the attention they want. Marriage isn't a stagnant thing, it's something you always have to work on.

Needless to say, I won't be seeing her again....

Wait, I just remembered another incident.

Second date with a woman (yes, I date a lot. It's a way of meeting people in a city where I don't know anyone.) and she's telling me about her past dating history. I was pretty shocked by the extent of it so when I asked if she was tested she just laughed; "Of course, I'm clean and don't have AIDS."

"What else don't you have?"

"Well I have herpes...."

After reconsidering the definition of clean I told her I wasn't comfortable seeing her again, her only response; "Why? Was I too old for you?"

I'm not going to report on every date I have, I don't want this place to turn into that but I couldn't let those slip by without mentioning something. It's a scary dating world out there.
