Define normal
I was divorced and back in the dating pool before I met my first nutter. They're not all on the dating websites, you know, they move among us in real life too.This was a blind date, set up as a double date, and he would rather have been with the other lass. Fair to say we didn’t hit it off. When he found out I had a young daughter he said he bet I didn’t allow my ex to see her. He was so effing sick of meeting women who screwed their husbands for alimony AND made it impossible for them to see their kids.
Actually my daughter spends every weekend with her dad.
So he’s stuck at home looking after your kid while you’re out partying every weekend? That’s so effing typical . . .
Oh aye, he was a prince. He then started to complain about his last girlfriend. Women were insane. They say they want flowers and cards, and then when you give them everything they want, they go to the police about you. Effing insane.
Ummmmm - what happened?
He left a flower and a card every day under her windscreen wiper, the way she reacted you’d think he was an axe murderer. Effing b*tch. Just trying to show he was caring, and interested, seriously interested, isn’t that something women were supposed to want?
I’d have moved my car elsewhere, I said with perfect honesty and he glared at me with mingled triumph and hatred.
Like that made a difference! She never left it anywhere I couldn’t find it. Next thing I know I’m being told I’m a stalker! Effing mental.
****
I left, and he spent the rest of the evening telling my friend that I would never get a boyfriend, I was too effing uptight.
When she passed that on, I said he was a lunatic and should be locked up. She was quite taken aback. Yes he was a bit intense but compared to some of the blokes she’d dated, he was pretty normal.

In real life or on CS
I would actually define him as an overgrown child, judgmental and lacking self-respect.
Its a good sign that you didn't consider him normal either..
The abstract idea that individualism is grounds for commonality.
It is as elusive as the water in orange cordial.
Such an experience!
Normal is anything that is not strange, unexpected, or unusual. What majority considers valid and imposes it: the norm.
Normality is only defined in opposition to abnormality, which is itself left undefined
Saying that and according to my experience, your date was pretty normal to me LOL!
Johnny Depp.
There very well may be a woman out there who matches him perfectly.
So hopefully he will find just that.
Good thing the guy showed his Mr.Hyde side right away when you met him. Some people get involved with someone who they think is nice and caring and loving and all that licorice and mustard stuff.
THEN, later they find out the other side of they guy, the side of him that, dare I say it, does not like Peanut Butter.
I knew a lady that acted like that. All she talked about is what guys do wrong.. nothing about what she did wrong. No guys wanted her, well until she won the lottery.. now guys flock to ask her for her hand in marriage, regardless of the monster side. I wonder why?
Interesting story. Have a fun day.
Normal -
'The prevailing psychosis in any given time & place.'
Quite simple when one thinks 'bout it, no?
and he's be the way to normal...
sounds like a great match!
Sometimes I wonder if it's the new fashion?
Sorry Biff...normal is relative isn't it? Compared with or to what?
I've had dates even weirder than that...and still know one on this site in fact.
Uhhh...that's very interesting, Dani.
But maybe the less said about some subjects, the better
Wouldn't you agree?...........
On topic, I've been lucky never to date a weirdo.
Maybe it is because by the time we eventually go on one, the weirdos have given up and moved on
For the last two years I have been in a relationship with a nutcase like this.
For six months he was the most wonderful man a woman could ask for
I ask myself who must go to the nuthouse?
should he go for being what he is?
Or should I go for taking his nonsense for so long?
I don't know why he bothered with me
He hates women. So much anger bottled up inside him.
Not to say I haven't found myself on a date with a weirdo despite talking to them first, that happened once too
When I wrote a book on how to meet people through a website the 'angry singles' section got so long I very nearly renamed the book
Glad you got free without major harm and it is lovely to have you back
Most of you were saying what is undeniably true - normal is the norm in your social environment! Non, Baig, Molly, Cach, Deedee, all intelligent comments
I've thought and said that mature singles carry more baggage than most but this guy was an early starter, he'd have been early 30s and had still managed to build up a massive head of angry steam!
CS was my only hope
Vier, hope you meet her haha
Lamhe, definitely kick, yikes, my last double date
Mick, I honestly have no idea how normal he was, I never dated a stranger again in SA. He was the first person I'd met like that, I took great care not to meet any more
Annlee, I agree, he seemed pretty abnormal to me! and yet as Daniela said, she's dated weirder than he was.
Map, you make a very good point, some people bring out the best, or the worst, in us
Define normal?
Hmm.. I have no clue.
Hey, Kal, I just report the words she used
Geronomo, WOW, what a date! An ex of mine from way, way back has now been on the single scene for about 8 years and he said darkly I had no idea how insane some women could be but he wouldn't talk about it, just shook his head. Suddenly I realize what he's talking about
I may not be completely normal - actually I know I'm not - but suddenly I feel confidently sane
You're perfectly normal!
You're whacky and funny and warm and nice and completely genuine, but you ain't normal
