Aphrodite,

The first one that came to mind was a date with a fellow Gemini, someone I'd known since we were kids. We ran into each other one day and flirted like crazy; the next thing I knew he called and asked me out.

It was actually very nice -- a formal dinner dance. The food was delicious, we danced a lot and I met some interesting people. He was a perfect gentleman, treating me like quite the lady. It was a lot of fun, except for ONE THING: He - talked - too - much!!! (Imagine that, coming from me?) When he picked me up he told me a funny story about something that happened at work that day. I was amused; that was fine. But then he proceeded to repeat the same story to every person we met throughout the evening! After hearing the same thing over and over -- and OVER -- his wittiness became a little stale and I wasn't so amused...

We had one more date after that...another formal affair (company Christmas party), and it was nice...but pretty much a repeat of the first date. He was a nice guy and I liked him enough, but I decided to keep him for a friend and there were no hard feelings. I am the first to admit that I can be long-winded (as this and other posts prove, lol) but this guy really "talked me under the table"! And it wasn't some kind of poetic justice either, because first, I always try to draw out my date with questions to get him to talk about himself, and second, I've dated other Gems and the conversations were prolific but much more balanced.

I went out with a gemini... well, I've been out with a few geminis Anyway... this one in particular would tell the same story over and over and...

What was so funny is that each time he told it .. it seemed to get larger and grander than the previous. Finally, I had to ask him what "really" happened.

The best dates to me were the worst to others because they were so bizarre. With my husband the first date he got a sinus condition and I had to help him and nurse him out of it. He showed me what to do of course, I'm a Taurus sun in the sixth house, he is on the cusp of Libra/Scorp in the fifth house and I spent the first few months with him nursing him out of one illness or another. Plus his stomach is always upset so I learned to carry Pepto. He told me he'd love to be my boyfriend and wanted to know if I ever thought it was possible? and when exactly? Very cute. Gave a great massage. I can't understand why no man I ever dated offered to give me a neck massage before, I mean it's so obvious, Taurus is very sensitive in that area. His mercury and neptune are in the sixth house, venus in virgo, moon and ascendant in gemini, he is very virgo like and organized but I like him anyway. It was the most bizarre date and the best. He is truly a work of art. The only other man who came close to my heart was a Gemini.

I told him I didn't want to be kissed because I was funny about the men I kissed so he snuck up behind me and kissed me on the back of my neck. He pretty much had me there.

The most "sparky" dates I had were,
One Aquarius who told me that he had shaved his beard off especially for me and looked hurt when I asked why? It wasn't like I was kissing him, I didn't even know him. He was a little condescending because I couldn't figure out why he was hurt. I still feel bad about that but I get very emotional about people I kiss.

One Sag who showed me his Woody Woodpecker tatoo on his butt right away, I had to start laughing and singing the theme song which made him very angry. I ended up running.

A good friend of mine, a Scorp with a Pisces moon a woman like me needs running shoes around men. I have a big mouth, mercury in gemini opposing mars and my ascendant makes me talk loudly and bother people especially men, they either get angry or think they are in love.

I have been stalked by a Pisces for two years, an ex priest, he would send me one single red rose and express his love/hate in letters that were about 8 pages long with illustrations and described how we were meant to be together as we were soulmates and if we weren't together I would pay later. I finally wrote him a nice letter asking him to stop. He showed up with a big diamong ring. I ran.

A Leo stalked me once with letters and poetry but at least it was original. First technical lover. Leos always have the courage to go where no man has gone before. A real slob though. I cleaned his entire house and kitchen and left one dirty dish by mistake. He ate of that one dish and got sick. His house was a disaster zone. I clean men's kitchens on dates.

An Aries sent me plagiarized poetry and tropical flowers. The Aries lied to me about his job, told me he did pro bono work as a lawyer but didn't and had a weird friend like Squiggy on Laverne and Shirley who would pop into his home every few minutes to see how things were going. We would try and watch TV and his buddy would pop over and so we could never really have a conversation.

I have a found a lot of men have a "buddy" who keeps an eye on things, one who likes to come over at 3am and watch TV and generally make trouble with me. If there is no mother to worry about there is the buddy.

I dated a Taurus once, the ex boyfriend of my best friend (an Aries) and nothing happened between us. Another ring, smaller than the Pisces one with no diamond. The diamond would come later. He wanted to make love outdoors, I did not. Then about a year later a Gemini ex girl friend of came over and pulled my hair. I think she and he made love in a barn somewhere and he told her he asked me first and she was jealous. I know this because her roomate gave me her diary (A Sag).

My dating stories go on and on, but the best had to be a Scorpio who feigned death when I arrived. I had to break in and he told me he had just overdosed and was dying. Lots of drama. Moaning with one eye open to see if I was buying it. Of course he is alive and happy with an Aquarian woman who shot him but they reconciled. He is a Psychiatrist and must feel he has a boring life. I can't even be alone with Scorpios without getting into some trouble. He was very sexy but he didn't know it. Desperation IS sexy depending on the person. We had one date before this where we were going to watch the eclipse of the moon from his balcony. It was very Romantic. The night air, the seating, waiting, expecting. It never came. Later I found out he got the dates wrong. Was I Angry! Now when my husband tells me he wants to make love during a thunderstorm I ask to check to make sure it's actually going to happen so I am not Wasting my Time so he spends a lot of time watching the weather channel.

Good Luck out there and wear your running shoes. If you are a Pisces moon then you are too sensitive to date. Pisces moon seem to me, to like their privacy anyway. If you want sensitive, Water sign men aren't so bad when they aren't telling you the entire truth about their lives. At least they are honest. Earth signs are good too as long as they are secure.

I've had Aries boyfriends - I don't think we ever had dates, we had adventures. With one we climbed over a wall of a botanical garden at night, and got chased over the grounds by a security guard driving after us in this ridiculous little Renault LeCar. After awhile Aries men and I (Aries too) get exhausted with each other; how many pinnacles can you take?

I dated a SagSun/ScorpMoon guy once, but it began badly -- passion, sure, but we had little in common and I know he didn't want to fall in love with anybody, too inconvenient at the time for him-- we're driving down the highway to his place for our first night together, and J.Geils comes on the radio singing "Love Stinks", and he CRANKS it full blast and starts singing. He was running away right at the start! Go figya that one was brief!

He must of had a bad experience with a woman who used and abused him for a Happy Meal.

Now I remember a date when I was a teenager, where he showed up at the movie theater to me meet me but had only one ticket because it got it for free. He snuck me in because he was too CHEAP to buy me a ticket and smoked pot during the movie and laughed like crazy. If he had money for pot why couldn't he buy me a Ticket?

I became very wary of cheap dates after that. No I do not believe you left your wallet at home, no I do not want you to pay me back and so on...Especially the ones that loved me after I paid..I was now Sugar Mama.. My sister's nickname for me for a while was Sugar Mama. Sugar Mama now just blows kisses..

Oh and there was the Capricorn who read the paper during dinner. That's hard on the ego.
