I couldn't help giggling that he thought you were a "dangerous freak" for not eating meat. Never heard of vegetarians being referred to as dangerous.

I've had plenty of bad dates but I tend to look at them as learning experiences. Also they usually make for a good/funny story later. I'm just happy to get out of my comfort zone and meet new people!

The fact of being vegetarian is a winner! I don’t eat dairy either and people think I am odd for that reason. How odd is it to rip apart some tortured animal’s body and eat it?

Sometimes, when we meet new people, the lesson we receive is what to avoid in the future ! <grin>

Odd is good. People have told me I'm strange, and weird my whole life, only now I've come to take it as a compliment. My husband and I are complete opposites, he was a jock(still thinks he is one) I was a weird artsy kid that played guitar and always had paint stains on my clothes. He was in the military and needs someone to take orders from and I have always been defiant with an appitude for doing my own thing (I could never made it in the military). He believes in god and I don't. But I think the fact we are opposites keeps us constantly learning something new from each other and creates balance. We can compensate for each others weaknesses. I agree with you about honesty. I've been accused of being too honest, like honesty is a bad thing. In a relationship if you can't trust who your with you shouldn't be together. Trust is a hard thing to earn, and when it is broken it is ten times as hard to gain back...as bad as your date sounded, at least you got your table fixed out of it! Thats a win! Who knows maybe he likes odd. My dad is in his 60s and dyes his mustache cause his hair is dark blonde still but his mustache grows out grey (and he gets hilariously embarassed about it) shockingly he hasn't a bald spot yet, and no one believes his hair is his own but it is, he hasnt changed it in 20 years! So its possible he wasn't lying about the hair, even if unlikely.
