I have always found it funny that whenever a man relays a negative story about an ex-girlfriend (even if he is just stating actual events that took place) he is always seen
as bitter and having issues. Love this post.

I think you should tell her. That way, you have nothing to hide. The girl should appreciate your honesty and humor…even when it’s bad. LOL, kidding.

Ahhh. Okay, that’s understandable.

Why not, surely she should like you for all of you, negative blogs and all? Why hide part of who you are from someone you like?

Hmmm… Quite the contrary, mate…

You should tell your date upfront about the site. Let her read it and get to know you better. If she doesn’t get the humor, OR if she is the kind that misunderstands the way you frame your earlier relationships, then really… is she even right for you?

She’ll get to know the REAL YOU. Scary, but that’s the way to go. You’ll get more strike rates, but when things go well, it would REALLY go well…

So, on that context, I think you should just start off every date like that. Every first date, wear a T shirt that says “Interpret me at Pointlessbanter.net”. Have table musicians sing to you the words “Hola darling, let us wander… To find out more, visit pointless banter”, have cheesy cards with mushy messages, but follow it with a disclaimer saying “Affections in demo piece not part of actual package. For more clues, go to Pointless Banter”

Of course, some of your dates will scream like frightened jackrabbits and sprint from your date like their dress had caught fire, but THOSE people were not quite the right sort to begin with…

It shouldn’t be a big deal to reveal your blog to her but on the other hand I can see how you’re afraid she’ll get turned off by it and stop dating you since you said somewhere on this page that it’s happened before. Im sure we all have certain fears based on things that have happened in our past. I can’t tell you what to do just go with the flow and listen to your gut. Anyone who doesn’t know this woman can’t really say how it would turn out.

I think that if this woman has already agreed to go out with you, then she must have an incredibly robust sense of humour and nothing here shall offend her!

The ovulation explains a lot… I am fretting because I actually had someone recently find my blog after we went on a few dates and decided to not hang out with me anymore…

yeah, Im ovulating so Im not in the best mood but I have a child out of wedlock so fuck yerself, and since when is this springing it on her? You’ve been out with the girl what, twice? It’s not like you’re seriously dating her. Frankly, I dont even know why you’re fretting over something so petty. It’s not like you’re blogging on MySpace for all the world to see. Heh. I made a funny.
Oh, and fuck yerself!
