I had wated a long time years ago, to get the courage up to ask a #10 beauty out on a date. She was a cheerleader for a large University here in Utah. She was my fantasy girl so to speak. She was all I thought about day after day. I was suprised and on cloud nine at the same time when she said that she would love to go out. Our date went great-the perfect evening, until she invited me into her home. Just for this date, I had purchased a $250.00 sheepskin coat. I thought it looked pretty good on me and was proud of the look. Being invited in was a dream come true. Then she brought fido in. Her true love, a miniature schnauzer with an attitude. We sat down on her couch and the dog started in on my coat sleeve fiercly growling and biting. I tried and tried to push the dog away, to no avail. It only attacked more fiercly. I was so suprised that my date did not control the dog, but then it hit me, maybe this was her way of making a man prove himself to her. So I stuck it out for a couple of more hours, until my coat was torn to shreds and then shot out the door knowing I would never return. My fantasy had gone to the dogs.

She obviously cared more about the dog than she did for you.

She lacked even common curtesy -- you didn't miss out on anything with that one! That was a cheap lesson in the long run and that's what you should do --RUN!!!!

Whomper, thanks for the comments and your support. I can only look back on this with a sense of humor, and with gratitude that I made the right decision. Chalk one up for life's little learning experiences.

Just curious, but dream date or not, why didnt you remove your coat and hang it up away from that dog. That woman was very rude and inconsiderate. I cant imagine allowing my pet to go bezerk on someones clothing let alone a coat which cost alot of money!So sorry for that.

Hey, all those comments are great, but remember love does funny things to a person and there was no way I was going to loose this girl, -dog, coat, whatever. Well, hindsight teaches us to see whats real and whats not. The girl was'nt real for me anyway, and the experience taught me a whole lot about life. Much more assertive now. Still wonder however what could have been if things had gone right. Young love memories. Keeping it real--Stark out.
