Hey Mama

I’m pretty sure this was an episode of “Ally McBeal”.

Guess the mom wasn’t hot enough to warrent a second date??

That’s insane. That is hands down, seriously bat-shit insane. What kind of a freak brings their Mom on a date? What kind of an ass eats before a date? What a freak. Seriously. That was horrifying. That chick needs to be hunted down and clubbed like a baby seal. INSANE! I don’t blame you for not wanting to be alone and giving it a shot anyway, but that’s what you do with a date that like… wears winter scarves in nice weather or has on fake glasses or socks and sandals or claims not to own a TV or whatever… this one was too much. I might not have even made it through the initial introduction.

“And this is my mom–”
“Buh-bye!”

the reason she brought her mom was to let the o/p see what she’d (his date)look like down the road. guess mom was no m.i.l.f.

seriously though, who would bring their mom on a date?

Wait… you awkwardly walked around the mall with this girl and her mom for 3 HOURS?! Without actually engaging in any sort of activity? That’s already 2 to 3 times longer than any first date should be. I would have been gouging my eyes out with the studded belts at Hot Topic by that point. Guilt-tripping you for leaving is just rediculous.

I’m wondering if there’s some sort of cultural explanation for this one. Maybe the girl’s from a culture where the family is involved in all decision-making, and there is no casual dating, just potential matrimony?

So these online sites where you can meet a 23 year old and her mom are actually true?

Ted – “What kind of an ass eats before a date? ”

The kind of ass that takes advice. Many dates end up with girls miffed they weren’t fed. A smart person eats a bit so they aren’t bound by hunger or being full.

But yeah, she was a tool.

Meshell- I’m totally with you

For some reason, I hit the “Enter” button before I was done. I’m a ding-a-ling.

Anyway, Meshell- I’m totally with you on eating before a date. I’ve been in situations before where I was expecting to eat, but my date sucked so I skipped out early and I went home and ate a Lunchables on the couch.

And OP: Your date was weird and liked to walk around malls? Was this her?

5 stars!

Meshell, but that’s not what happened here, was it? No, see… she didn’t eat “a bit” to ensure she didn’t end up “miffed” and unfed. No, she ATE and then sank HIS dinner plans, so he ended up not being fed… so… thanks for… I don’t know… not paying attention and yet speaking up… again…

@ ted That’s all.

I’m guessing she brought the mom to tag along, since she was meeting a stranger? That’s about as far as I can get as I try to delve into the psyche of this psycho…

What did she expect to happen on the date if she gave him no options of things to do?

I imagine she bought her mum because she’s socially inept so a) she didn’t know how to socialise without her mum there b) didn’t realise it was inappropriate to bring her.

I really hate to ask a question like this, because it has the potential to, well, be rude and judgemental, but it needs to be asked.

Was this girl homeschooled? That could account for why she may have been a little socially inept.

@ Troia: I don’t think home-schooling is to blame. The date was 23, so even if she was homeschooled k-12, she should have been out in social situations in the last 5 years, such as work, her place of worship, or college. Also, when homeschooling is done correctly, children are enrolled in activities in order to socialize with other children like sports, clubs, Scouts, play groups, camp, etc.

I agree with Freya that this girl is simply socially inept.

I’m impressed that the this poor guy stuck with this nightmare of a date as long as he did. You, sir, are a study in patience. I salute you.

She sunk all his plans for the date (already ate, didn’t like coffee, already watched a movie, bought her mother along), and then tries to guilt trip him when he gracefully tries to bow out. This girl was just plain weird.

This girly’s got problems, says Captain Obvious.

Maybe the date realized she was boring as dirt so she brought her mother as a conversation piece. I mean, shooting down every damn idea and insisting on walking around as all get-out, but having your mother on a date with you is just so fucked up and confusing that it at least sparks some sort of mental energy wondering why anybody would do such a thing, even if it is in a negative way.

Er, insisting on walking around *is boring* as all get-out. Way to typo, man.

Oh, my typoed post is still waiting moderation, but my post correcting it is already posted. How awkward…

Dude, she brought her mom along? Oh hell no! If that were me, just to piss her off, I would have payed ZERO attention to the date and hit on her mom like crazy without giving your date an inch to talk or breathe. I’m talking like super inappropriatley and even be a little dirty. Over the top, border line creepy flirting.

All typos should be announced in advance, Rawr. It’s non-linear narrative, like the movie Momento.

You’re tres avant-garde , and I’m tres jealous that I didn’t think of it first.

Mais, c’est vraiment un ménage à trois.

@rawr,
wow!!! there is actually another person on the planet besides me that uses the expression “as all get-out”
i get the strangest looks when i say that. first time i heard it used, was in a bedtime story as a kid. asked mom what it meant and have used it ever since, LOL!

okay guys i am the author for this story.
to answer some question post in comment section. i will start by saying
it happens, i mean, i know, it was bad date but if this did not happen to me, i could have not share this story with you all. i will take it for what it is. more detail about the girl after reading through the comments, you guys are almost spot on, no she was not home schooled her mom told me so and least she was not level 5 stalker. i really enjoy reading all of you guys comments, please ask any questions i will try best i can to answer the question best that i can.

I bring my Mom on dates, too, but not in the physical sense. I have a Mom in my head like Norman Bates.

Girls love it when I argue with myself. I got the “Mom” voice down pretty well. Sometimes the girls take Mom’s side in the argument.

Mom: You are such a LOSER JChief.
Girl: I have to agree
Me: You keep out of it.
Mom: DON’T YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT
Me: Not you, Mom. Her.
Mom: AND STOP LOOKING AT HER CHEST

JChief: The voices in your head sound suspiciously like the ones in Pinto’s head when he is about to have sex with the Mayor’s passed-out underage daughter in “Animal House”.

What a wasted opportunity! He could have had a shot at the mother-daughter threesome!

@jetjackson my guess is that is what the mom and date thought would happen. They were all confused when the OP offered dinner.

Perhaps they were worried about the girl meeting you alone after only having contact with you over the internet?
The first time I met a date online, my mom freaked out. She was worried about all the possible dangers of meeting someone (being robbed, bashed, and whatever else her paranoid little mind could think of).
It still absolutely does not excuse physically bringing your mom on the date. Wow.

Now this is how it’s done. It wasn’t working out, so he bailed. Read and learn, all of you who go on second/third dates “just to be nice” and then come on here complaining when you are stuck with a psycho stalker who puts a picture of your smiling face on every single coathanger in their closet. Jeez, it is nine months after the OP and I am commenting for the first time just to say this.
