First Date - Pathological
One guy, a few years older, out of school,
had seen me where I worked and asked me out.
His look was nice. His car was super cool!
He took me to some big event about
an hour from our town. Till late we sat
on bleachers, and he had so much to say
so unbelievable at one point that
I had to ask myself, “was he ok?”
He had a girlfriend in my PE class!
I hadn’t known this. She came up to me
and threatened she was gonna kick my ass!
A major liar he turned out to be!
Tall tales of glory on that date I heard
No wonder I had found them so absurd!

(A true story. I was 16. I ended up dating his roommate, also an "older" man
but more handsome and truthful!)
