			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I wrote recently about an <a title="Online Dating Scam" href="http://www.onlinedatingmuse.com/2009/08/online-dating-scam/" target="_blank">online dating scam</a>, but how about a scam that didn&#8217;t stem from the online dating world?  Well, this was such a <a title="Bizarre First Date" href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/2009/08/31/2009-08-31_worst_date_ever_he_ditches_her_sticks_her_with_the_check__and_drives_off_with_he.html" target="_blank">bizarre first date</a> story I had to post about it.  Did you hear about the guy who stole his date&#8217;s car on the first date?</p>
<p>So yeah, they met at a Detroit Casino, hit it off, and decided to go out on a date.  Well, she picked him up, and after they finished eating, he said he forgot his wallet in the car.  Well, he wasn&#8217;t exactly about to pay for the meal at all.  She gave him her keys, and instead he decided to drive off with the car.  Oops!  At least the cops found him not too long afterwards.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="First Date in a Car" src="http://lavalifeindiegirl.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/tim-car-both-hands.jpg" alt="" width="368" height="276" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;d classify that as a pretty bad first date.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s funny to laugh about that stuff, but it does bring up a good point.  When you&#8217;re going out with a guy for the first time, don&#8217;t pick him up.  Don&#8217;t even let him pick you up.  Maybe wait a few dates until you&#8217;re comfortable enough with him to drive in the same car.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve met some guys online, and when I met them, I thought they were scamming me.  Maybe they said they were 5&#8242;10&#8243;, when they were really 5&#8242;7&#8243;&#8230;at best.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 198px"><img title="Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes" src="http://www.topnews.in/light/files/tom-holmes.jpg" alt="510? " width="188" height="259" /><p class="wp-caption-text">5&#39;10&quot;? </p></div>
<p>Maybe they said they were &#8220;Athletic&#8221;, but in actuality they were just as much of an athlete as John Daly &#8211; with the exact same build.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 204px"><img title="John Daly" src="http://www.northmyrtlebeachgolf.com/course-architects/photos/John-Daly.jpg" alt="Athletic Build?" width="194" height="271" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Athletic Build?</p></div>
<p>But I&#8217;ve never been <a title="Online Dating Scam" href="http://www.ottawacitizen.com/life/More+complainants+come+forward+after+arrest+alleged+Ottawa+online+dating+fraudster/1940198/story.html" target="_blank">scammed quite as much as these girls</a>.  I&#8217;m not sure which online dating site it stemmed from, but apparently a guy would find girls online, chat them up a bit, and after awhile would scam them out of $5000 each.  He told them it was for an investment in getting wine grapes from California and Italy.  Come on, really girls?  So my Online Dating Captain Obvious Tip of the Day is, Don&#8217;t give a guy you don&#8217;t know any money.  In fact, make sure he pays on the first date too <img src='http://www.onlinedatingmuse.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
