What's the funniest or strangest thing you've done on a first date?
 |
Monica, 27, Orlando, Fla. On a first date this guy and I got manicures together. I have never done that with a guy. I told him to meet me at the manicurist, not get a manicure with me! I never called him again after that. |

Alexander, 31, Washington, D.C. I set myself on fire. I was at a cafe table across from my date, and in the processes of telling a story (with obligatory gesticulation, of course). Unfortunately, something distracted both of us, and when I looked back, my sleeve (which had stopped directly over the candle) had caught on fire. This kind of thing happens to me on a regular basis. So, I reached across the table for his beer -- mine was empty -- and extinguished myself. Strangely, his cell phone rang not thirty seconds later, and he fled the incendiary scene to deal with an alleged "family emergency." |

Wendy, 35, Lawrence, Kan. Michael and I had our first date in San Francisco while on a photo shoot for Yahoo! Personals. Now that was pretty strange! Other than that, boys need to get a little more inventive. I can't think of anything that stands out as funny or strange. |

 |
Eric, 26, Orlando, Fla. Forgot to mention the fact that I already had a girlfriend. |
|
 |
Tammy, 34, Raleigh, N.C. Got food poisoning and really sick, if you know what I mean. |
|
 |
Josh, 25, North Wales, Pa. I excused myself to use the restroom after noticing my fingernails were a bit to long. I ran outside the restaurant and next door to a gas station and purchased nail clippers. I clipped my nails and returned with her none the wiser. |
|
 |
Kathryn, 34, Northville, Mich. I don't think it's strange, but a ballroom dancing lesson! It was one of the best first dates ever! (Good thing I liked him!) |
|
 |
Tim, 41, Springtown, Texas There was one time I knew my date was a big coffee lover. So instead of bringing flowers along to give to her, I brought a special roasted bag of coffee. She loved it and I earned points! |
|
 |
Sylvia, 37, Kingsville, Texas I went on a first date with a co-worker and it was my idea to go to a sports bar so that I could watch Monday Night Football (the Dallas Cowboys were playing) and he told me he didn't watch sports. |
|
 |
Brocke, 54, Lakeland, Mo. Got on the Harley and rode around the lake. Watched a couple of movies and talked until about dawn. Went to a field trial or to a horse show. |
|
 |
Michael, 37, Lockport, N.Y. I had to use the Heimlich maneuver on a person who collapsed at the table next to us. Heck we got our meal paid for! |
