To make a long story short - I gave eHarmony a try in an attempt to meet someone. I went on a first date with one of the girls they matched me with tonight. We met up for coffee and after 45 minutes it was going great...until:
She asked me how many girls I had gone out with from the site and I asked her the same. She said the first date was "ok" but lacked a connection. The second guy, however, she said was a disaster. She said the guy seemed normal and she was having a good time until she found out he was a "crazy gun-toting Republican weirdo". "Oh, ya?" I said. "He told me he had a gun with him! What kind of guy is paranoid enough to think they have to carry a gun with them?" - she says.
I'm sure my jaw dropped a little. I paused for a few seconds and said... "Oh." And paused again. I think she picked up on it, but I explained why I have and carry guns - my father was LEO, learned to shoot at 6yo, and I understand there are people in society that would do harm to innocent people for no reason.
She spent 10 minutes back-tracking then changed the subject altogether. The date lasted another extremely awkward 30 minutes before we left... She never thanked me for buying her coffee.
