Guys, how would you have handled this?

[shish_kebab]

It was the first date and I met her online. She was pretty, funny and had a great personality. She even flabbergasted me by insisting she pay for her half of the meal. (You don't hear that very often)

Toward the end of dinner she told me there was something she needed to tell me. I thought for sure she was either an escaped convict or married or worse. I asked her what it was and she told me she was a witch. She told me she would like to see me again but she totally understands if I'm uncomfortable dating a witch.

I was the quintessential deer and headlights. All I could think of was to joke about it. I told her she was an amazing person and I'm sure there are plenty of guys that would be comfortable dating a witch, but it would scare me a little bit. 😜

What if I accidentally left the toilet seat up or something?

[sage2021]

I'd be walking on egg shells around that one. God only knows what she would do to you if you made her angry.

Did she bring her broom 🧹 with her on the date? Hehehe 🤣 😂

[shish_kebab]

Sage, she was sweet as apple pie just like you. She was a great conversationalist and fun to be around. It's just that I arrived at the restaurant in a Chevy and she flew in on a Swiffer.

[sage2021]

@shish_kebab
That's too funny! 🤣🤣😂

[shish_kebab]

I have to give you half credit for that for suggesting she flew in on a broom. 😜

[sage2021]

Thank you for the MHO 🙂🧡

[shish_kebab]

You're welcome

[nastyb]

you met her online right? yea... online is filled with freaks. Meet people in real life... they're way higher quality.

[shish_kebab]

I had 22 different online dates. Believe it or not the witch was the best one by far. 😂😂

[nastyb]

I been on those dating sites for almost a decade. I can promise you on this... you will never meet anyone high quality on there. By high quality... I mean someone who isn't weird af, has decent social skills, very attractive, can hold a conversation

[shish_kebab]

You're preaching to the choir. The reason online dating is so popular is because it's so damn easy. The reason online dating doesn't work is because it's too damn easy. 😜

[nastyb]

It's unfortunate how this country doesn't use matchmakers. In most other cultures, there are people responsible for helping couples meet. In America, we get no help at all. You just throw yourself out in the wild and pray you meet someone nice. It's so harsh out there

[shish_kebab]

There's a site you can join called Meetup that's pretty good. You sign up for free and join as many different groups as you want. The groups then announce various functions they're having and you just RSVP if necessary. If it's a hiking group you don't have to RSVP but if it's a restaurant you do. That's understandable because they need a table big enough for the group.
Those are pretty fun and way better than the idiotic online dating scene.

[nastyb]

@shish_kebab

I've been to meetup socials, never made any lasting friendships or even got a date. I find most of them to be less attractive than those i see on the streets

[shish_kebab]

It will happen when you least expect it but probably not if you're at home sitting on the couch.

[nastyb]

just because you join, it really does not mean your chances of finding love is high. don't get your hopes up too high. I've been to a lot of these without any luck

[shish_kebab]

I wasn't referring to the meetup groups I was just saying get out of the house and maybe you'll meet someone in the produce Isle of the store.

[nastyb]

unfortunately i don't live in a friendly city where strangers talk. I would rather focus on more effective ways to find dates rather than just to have expectations by just getting out of the house. Things like single events, signing up for matchmaking, speed dating

[shish_kebab]

How do you sign up for that?

[nastyb]

@shish_kebab

Go online. To be honest, best way to date is to join a career field or activity that is dominated by the opposite gender.

[nastyb]

I noticed you are 46 so your dating scene probably is very different from mine. I'm still young so people around my age are flooded with options and have no urgency to settle down. Everyone is ultra picky. When you're older, people tend to get less picky due to having fewer options. So I guess dating might be easier for you than me.

I heard match. com worked very well for a lot of older folks.

[shish_kebab]

I've learned that no matter which dating site you're on it's always the same people. Also, I'm not dating right now I'm seeing someone. I was just posting one of the crazy things that happened to me on a dating site.

I went out on another date and it went well and I asked her if she wanted to go out again. She said yes and admitted she only does it for the free food.
😜😜

[nastyb]

@shish_kebab

being honest with you, it does get harder to meet a high quality person as you get older. High quality ones are usually taken by then.

[nastyb]

and honestly, I'm so sick of dating. I just want to get married. I'll be happy with someone mediocre. I have went out on so many dates in my 20s... it get sickening.

[shish_kebab]

I know a gal who took an electrical class at the community college just to meet guys.

[nastyb]

I'm joining the police department to meet guys. haha

[shish_kebab]

Good idea!

[AviatorTom]

That's interesting. I would have handled it by saying something like "I like witches."

[DonaldDarko]

Witches are pagan Shamans like the Navajos and other tribes have. The whole mystique around them was built by early Christians who wanted to take over. Whether this girl knows this it hard to say. there's a good chance she doesn't. Either way I wouldn't date a religious nut.

[shish_kebab]

Well then, you and my gut instinct agree. 😬

[Screenwriter]

Well that's a hilarious end to a date! If I were you, I'd want to know how or what witchiness level she was at: white magic or black. What witch things she did, etc. She might be interesting, tho a little nutty. It's up to you...

[shish_kebab]

I didn't stick around to find out. 😜

[Screenwriter]

You poor thing!!! Could've been a short term adventure!! I'd date a warlock a few times.. just to see...

[shish_kebab]

If I forgot her birthday she would turn me into a toad!

[Screenwriter]

A good witch doesn't waste her time on tiny shit like that. IF you forgot her birthday, she'd disappear you to a terrible town. Toad making takes too much energy.

[shish_kebab]

I think that ship has sailed, But I'll go back and look for at the restaurant.

[molonski2]

Absolutely no problem with you dating a witch , research it ( I'm sure you have ) , nothing like you are thinking.

Good Luck.

[shish_kebab]

Sure, nothing to worry about.

[Kvass]

Putting their d in a lunatic doesn't usually end well for guys.

[shish_kebab]

I had about 20 online dates and she was the pick of the litter! The best of the best.

[Kvass]

I smell a disaster but okay🤷‍♀️

[shish_kebab]

It's okay because I never saw her after that day. We parted ways amicably.

[Cidknee]

She may have been Sam! Samantha, of Sam & Darren!

She was very nice but had some hellos family members. Not Uncle Arthur though. He was on Digbats side.

[shish_kebab]

I remember Samantha and Tabitha. This gal was perfect except for that one small flaw.
Does this mean I'm a witch racist?

[LazerBean]

It sounds like you handled it very well. No way in hell would I date a witch lol

[shish_kebab]

I didn't want to make the post very long so I'll tell you a couple other things I said.
"So do you guys all meet up at night in the woods somewhere? And do you ever sacrifice goats?"

She just laughed and we both parted ways on a friendly basis.

Apparently she wasn't the type of witch we see in the movies but either way I was out of there. And that was the end of my online dating career. I had had it at that point.

[LazerBean]

Well that's good, it's probably a bad idea to unnecessarily make a witch mad lol

[shish_kebab]

Exactly! With a normal girl you might find yourself in the dog house once in awhile. With a witch you might find yourself being an actual dog. 🐶🐶 (Or a toad)

[LazerBean]

Or stewing in a cauldron lol

[shish_kebab]

Gosh, I could see it now. I'm in the cauldron and they're all dancing around me like they did in that movie Practical Magic with Nicole kidman.

"Put the lime in the coconut, drink them both up," and "Put the lime in the coconut and call me in the morning." 🧹🪄🧹

[LazerBean]

Exactly 😂

[Miristheiss]

You walk away and end it immediately.

You would be an idiot to pursue this.

[shish_kebab]

We parted as friends.

[MrChinaski]

People's religious views aren't very important to me in a partner. What they do with them is important. If she's more the 'dancing naked around bonfires at winter solstice' type than the 'boiling the neighbours' dog and serving it as entree' type then it is fine with me.

[zagor]

Sure she didn't have a lisp and intended to use a "b"?

[shish_kebab]

Nah, she admitted being part of a coven.

[zagor]

Might be interesting to see how the sex went.

Though don't let her tie you to the bed - she might have a dagger under it.

[shish_kebab]

No, I don't have a death wish.

[Laulenke]

I would have continued dating her I’m a witch as well

[shish_kebab]

You want me to see if I can get her phone number for you?

[Laulenke]

Wished I could take it but would upset the wife some though lol

[Laulenke]

But she is definitely hot and any guy would be lucky to have her as a partner

[shish_kebab]

I often wonder if I made a mistake with her.

[Laulenke]

How so? Thst you let her go or you chose not to date her

[shish_kebab]

Out of 22 online dates she was the best of them all. I began to think that she's as good as it gets.

[Laulenke]

I say go for it she’s pretty
If you want to make a really good impression ask her for protection stone

[shish_kebab]

It's too late for that, that train left the station.

[Laulenke]

Damn

[shish_kebab]

So what kind of witch stuff do you do?

[Laulenke]

I like my protection spells myself

[Laulenke]

For Halloween (Samhain’s) I’m going to try my best again to contact my father and my daughter through spell work

[shish_kebab]

How do you go about that?

[Laulenke]

About years worth of research lol
Finding the right herbs making the spell and big thing making sure the wife has to work thst night so I have quiet time lol

[shish_kebab]

The right "herbs" sounds interesting. 😜

[Laulenke]

It’s not whst you think I have asthma do smoking won’t happen

[shish_kebab]

Gotcha.

[MzAsh]

Stay on her good side

[shish_kebab]

Oh I was!

I be like: "Wow, what a fascinating hobby you have."

I did ask her if her and her coven sacrificed goats at night. 😬😬

[exitseven]

She might turn you into a newt.

[shish_kebab]

That was so very much suck! I couldn't even see over the steering wheel anymore.

[exitseven]

hahahah

[XXTruthfulOgrexx]

Bye, mental illness is a very real thing.

[shish_kebab]

You would say that to the witch?

[XXTruthfulOgrexx]

Yes, sorry but the whole witch thing is stupid esoteric nonsense.. You can wave a wand around shouting nonsensical words like Harry Potter and you still won't see books flying or houses cleaning themselves.

Even self proclaimed witches in history just practiced essentially herb remedies no different than any other culture.

[shish_kebab]

Remember the movie with the guy came home and found his pet bunny boiling in the pot? 😜

[rgb008]

I love magic. I’d stick around.

[shish_kebab]

Well yeah, but...

[rgb008]

Eh could use a couple sick days 🤫🫢

[shish_kebab]

I would be able to burn the candle of both ends

[andreasderjuengere]

I'd have asked her for a nice red apple 😁

[shish_kebab]

I consider myself a fairly intelligent person but I don't have a Baker's Fuck of a clue how apples tie in with witches. 😜

[andreasderjuengere]

Snow White, seven dwarves, and... a witch 🙂

[shish_kebab]

I don't know how much experience you have dating witches, but I did go on that one date. You find yourself walking on eggshells around witches.
I could have probably gotten away with the Snow White story, but I wouldn't dare bring up The wizard of Oz story, because I think a house once fell on a witch and killed her. The wiz thing might be enough to set her off and that wouldn't be good for me. 🧹

[andreasderjuengere]

I have yet one to meet who can fly a broom.
Bewitching witches is probably not your own preference. That's fine.
As for me: a good adventure or challenge is just to my liking.

[shish_kebab]

I will send her your way.

[andreasderjuengere]

You show greatness. Thank you.

[shish_kebab]

You are quite welcome.

[AngryCarl3]

Ask her where she parked her broomstick.
