Being a middle-aged divorcee who has stumbled into the dating world, I have come to realize that dating at this time in your life can be interesting...to say the least. Some of the things that I have experienced have literally made my left eye twitch. I have often said that I was going to to write a book of dating stories because they are just too unbelievable NOT to share. In the course of talking about this with friends, I have heard some of their dating stories and suffered 'sympathy twitching' on their behalf, thus "Dating Tourettes" was born. You are more than welcome to submit your dating stories and I will post the ones that get my left eye moving. Please send your submissions to datingtourettes@gmail.com along with your name and location. You may use a pseudo name or just a first name, if you prefer. Your date's real name will not be used as it's not the name that matters but the spasm-inducing tale.

Mr. All That and a Bag of Chips...


Yet another tale of a blind date gone awry...
(Where do my friends find these men?)

All through dinner he winked at, "honey'd", and "sweetie'd" the waitress (much older woman) and told me she was like putty in his hands. His cell phone went off several times during the meal...texts and phone calls. He answered every single one of them. He told me it was his female friends and that I would be calling him all the time, as well, because women just couldn't get enough of him. *twitch*

While he was preoccupied inviting the waitress to sit next to him and join us for dessert, I pulled my cell phone out of my purse, wrote his name and number on a napkin (which I left for the waitress) and deleted his number from my phone.

As we parted ways for the evening he winked at me and said, "Call me. You know you want to."
