Kissing Creep

After a bout of boring dates I decided to try the online route. For two weeks I scanned profiles and enjoyed the $30.00 a month in entertainment. One day, I received an IM from a seemingly attractive guy; he had a quick wit and an interesting career in television production. One night while we were talking, he asked me to meet him at a local bar for a drink so we could cut the crap and see if we hit it off face to face. I agreed and drove to meet him. As I walked up to him outside the bar and went for a hug he bent down and planted a nasty wet kiss on my mouth, tongue included. Put off by the kiss, but telling myself to give him a chance, we walked inside and he chose a table in the corner. Quickly the conversation went helter skelter. He proceeded to tell me that I was now his submissive. WTF?! He then reached across the table and took my hand, pulled it to his mouth and sucked on two of my fingers, grinning as he did so. I kept laughing, thinking he was joking, but then he got a serious look on his face and asked me if I would introduce him to my parents.

Before I could answer with “No, you freak,” he said, “Well you’ve already been a bad girl. Why didn’t you tell me who your father was?” Turns out he’d stalked me online and found out that my dad was basically really high up for the television network he worked for and was going to use me to climb in the company while punishing me. CREEPY! Opting for an early exit I said I had to go. Afraid that he would kill me and wear my skin as a dress, I made a smooth exit by giving him a kiss and telling him I looked forward to our future together. Oscar nomination please! For the next month I ignored his texts and calls. But here’s the real kicker: about a week after that creepy date my roommate came in my room and told me she had met a cool guy online and showed me his pics and it was him! I was in some of her profile pictures with her so he must have known I was her friend. We screamed, shut the computer and turned on the house alarm!

The one thing about this date that creeped me out the most is the sucking fingers thing. Why do men do this ?! I know lots of men who enjoy having their fingers sucked.. there’s a lot of innuendo involved. But I’ve never met a girl who doesn’t just feel a bit cringey when a guy has done the same back to her.
I think a lot of guys use this ‘Well I like it when she does X so she must like it if I do exactly the same back’ logic.

That is damn creepy…. ugh! Kudos for not running out screaming with your hair on fire!

KandyjoAugust 12th, 2010 at 7:56 am

^ THAT’S the thing that creeped you out the most??! I feel like I need a long Silkwood shower after reading this.

I know women who like their toes sucked. Go figure. It’s not a gender specific thing.

tronnerAugust 12th, 2010 at 8:11 am

Was his name Travis Bickell?

LisaAugust 12th, 2010 at 8:23 am

I get turned on by sucking my OWN fingers, but only when they’re baited with barbecue sauce, or creme anglaise, or a similar aphrodisiac.

Good bad date, but the kiss you planted on him seemed unnecessary & even counterproductive. Fake-outs of this nature should be reserved for when you’re trapped in a basement pit, not in a public bar.

AnneAugust 12th, 2010 at 8:36 am

But… but why did you go to hug him at your first meeting IRL? You’d only been IMing, no?

karenAugust 12th, 2010 at 8:47 am

i would be freaked out about the stalking, that is really scary.

tronnerAugust 12th, 2010 at 10:10 am

@ Anne – Hugging on a first meeting isn’t’ that big of a deal, is it? Sounds like this guy wanted a lot more, but it’s not that uncommon to give someone a quick hug.

ThandiAugust 12th, 2010 at 10:13 am

Oh man OP *sigh* good story and really creepy but you lost me when you kissed him :(

MeshellAugust 12th, 2010 at 11:42 am

Oi, while the thought of being a sub to a nice, attractive Dom excites me I WOULD LIKE TO TRULY GET TO KNOW THEM FIRST. Eek, this guy was an idiot. Seriously. No Dom with their grain of salt would do that.

Ok, I am giving too much away about good ol’ Meshell. That was a funny date.

FaithAugust 12th, 2010 at 12:00 pm

I’m with Meshell. That’s the kinda guy who gets into the BDSM scene and gets a girl killed or seriously injured because he doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing. Moron.

I’m actually not as loathing of the kiss as everyone else…you felt endangered, he freaked you out, you opted for a gentle exit that wouldn’t run a risk of the guy chasing after you so you could get home without him knowing where you live.

“Afraid the guy would kill me and wear my skin as a dress…”
LMAO!!!
You poor thing.

MMMichelleAugust 12th, 2010 at 1:09 pm

Put the fucking lotion in the basket!

LisaAugust 12th, 2010 at 2:00 pm

Okay… okay… okay. Mister, if you let me go, I won’t – I won’t press charges I promise. See, my dad is a real important man at the television network… I guess you already know that.

gregAugust 12th, 2010 at 2:45 pm

As creepy and wierd as he was, doesn’t it make sense to look-up a stranger you are “considering” dating to see what you may or may not have in common? Like a job interview, learn as much as you can b4 the date so you can have conversation, likes/dislikes, etc. Wacko guy, smart thinker.

gregAugust 12th, 2010 at 2:45 pm

one clarification, there is NO need to look the parents though, that’s crossing a line

DuncanAugust 12th, 2010 at 2:46 pm

So hang on… given he was able to apparently impress upon both you and your roommate his charming normalcy online he must have some basic grasp of what you should and should not say to someone; what is and what is not normal. While it’s best that you know how nuts this guy is right off the bat I find myself wondering why he couldn’t pretend to be a bit more normal offline if he was capable of passing for decent online. This is actually a question; does anyone know if there’s anything in the way of research on this? I know I seem to act and ‘speak’ pretty much the same as I do offline – how common is it that people would be ‘witty’ and ‘interesting’ online and then weird, stalkerish, finger-fucking S&M gadges offline?

This story makes the top 10 of my favorite “bad date” stories.

tronnerAugust 12th, 2010 at 4:06 pm

@Duncan – It’s been awhile since undergrad psych, but I’d bet the research would focus on Personality Disorders like Narcissistic, Borderline, and Anti-social Personality Disorder and how people with those impairments interact with others. It seems to me that a lot of the people are superficially very charming and very together, but they have significant pathology underneath.

LeisuremanAugust 12th, 2010 at 5:45 pm

So you’re not his submissive?

IwasstalkedAugust 13th, 2010 at 7:05 am

Apparently Lisa and Thandi have been very lucky with men in their lives and apparently have NO IDEA how to deal with creepy stalkers. The kiss was an excellent idea, as it gave her a quick and fast out. Women with real with experience with real world creepy stalker dudes know this. You ladies are very lucky to never have been put in this sitch.

LisaAugust 13th, 2010 at 8:40 am

True, I’ve never inspired a stalker– I just don’t have that certain je ne sais quoi that stalkers look for.

Iwasstalked—- since she wasn’t in physical danger in the public place, are you saying that the best way to diminish a stalker’s urge to stalk is to show false enthusiasm & interest? Is resistance the vital element that ignites the stalker’s urge?

I suppose that’s plausible— maybe it’s all about the chase. You can’t stalk the willing.

LisaAugust 13th, 2010 at 8:43 am

Only, how do you know in advance that they’re a potential stalker? Don’t you risk sending mixed-signals to garden-variety assholes?

YGAugust 13th, 2010 at 12:46 pm

Garden Variety Assholes…sorry, that phrase made me chortle. Carry on!

missSalanderAugust 16th, 2010 at 11:34 am

this story is hysterical because i lived it! i was not “the roommate” in the story, but was another roommate living in that house and heard ALL about this crazy guy. trust me, he was definitely a “normal dude” online and did a 180 in person. knowing my uber smart friend and then-roommate, i’d probably have done the same thing to get rid of that guy and then get right home to wash my mouth out with soap.
