WRT RT's orginal post in this thread, what's so bad about the last boyfriend? I mean, he got really drunk once and crawled off to sleep in off in a relatively harmless manner (even with the implied pointless and agrevateing search and rescue operation the party almost certainly had to mount). It's not like he yakked on her shoes. Unless this was more of a pattern, in which case I can understand.

Stop fantasizing about my mother giving you a sponge bath! EWWWSICK!

Between this and sunny's crush on my father, I've decided not to invite my parents to the next big fb function.

On the other hand, I'm a big fan of the "repressed librarian takes off her glasses and bursts free of her tweeds in a frenzy of explosive erotic liberation" fantasies, myself, since it is the one that best plays to my general [self?] image.

Now you're talking. Waaaaaaay better than nurses. Note that "lawyer" works just as well as "librarian" in this scenario.

I could at least conceive of some moron yakking in some repressed frat-boy college throwback (though of course, I would throw away the shoes and kick the guy to the curb), if only because it wouldn't be sporting to at least fake some sympathy for his distress at the time. I am far less likely to imagine some clown asking me to let it rip on him on the first date.

I think that the important thing here is these were first (and only) dates. Boyfriend status was only a possibility, and a very dim one after the events that occurred in the respective evenings. There's some stuff that's perfectly fine for subsequent encounters. Golden shower requests, losing the date, declarations that you want 6 kids with the date: probably should be saved until you know her dog's name.

If a guy is stupid enough to get THAT hammered on a FIRST date (See Elimidate) then you can't really expect much better on the second or third date.

Female lawyers aren't "repressed". They're cleary all slutty bitches.

I mean that in a good way.

Screw the "don't discuss it on the first date" rule. That declaration would cause me to dump Mrs. Finch.

Well, it does maybe imply a "not trying very hard to impress you" vibe - don't people try to stay on their relatively good behavior on dates anymore? (Don't they generally?)

But, yeah, if he was generally a good guy and it just got away from him one night, it doesn't seem too bad.

Au contraire. He got to be completely freaky, and ensured that he'd never ever have to really get serious with her, but still could hook up with her for random "subsequent encounters". That's a smart man right there.

Yeah, I'm sure that any time she needs to take a piss, she'll have him speed-dialed in. Smart man, indeed.

Sorry, I misunderstood that part. Makes more sense now. I agree, first date looses it, no second chance. Once you've been dating a couple of months, though, this should not be a deal killer, unless, of course, it is part of a bigger problem.

I've had both things happen to me - drunk first date; way, way drunk date well into the relationship. With the first I would have loved to have ended the date immediately if it had been safe for me to do so (I instead took her home and helped her roommate deal with her). The second was no big deal.

Dan Savage has written about the Hobson's choice faced by fetishists. Should they run ads seeking like-minded people, thereby limiting their dating pool by definition to freaks and weirdos, or date in the general population until they find someone they like, and then hope like hell it's an accomodating person?

Sounds to me like the guy's settled on Plan B, and is not a timewaster. Coffee* is for closers. Always Be Closing.
