I love bizarre dating stories. The wackier the better. In the category of Too Much Information for a first date, I recently heard about a rendezvous that resulted from a Plenty of Fish dating site personal ad. I find the more unbelievable a story is, the more apt it is to be true. As it happens, Mike met Ginger at a restaurant to see how the chemistry was in person. Ginger was a 40-something divorcee who had been married to a man 17 years older than she was. At some point, Ginger’s hubby decided she was too old and left her for a 20-something woman. Upon discovering this, Ginger promptly went to the back yard of their McMansion and dug a grave.

I know what you’re thinking…and I’m with you. It turns out we’re both wrong. Much as I expected to hear how hubby was bludgeoned to death with a shovel and fed to the worms, it was Ginger that climbed into her freshly dug hole and, I suppose, had her own near-death experience. I’m not sure what Mike’s reply was to this disclosure, but I have to believe “Check please” was soon to follow.
