OutOfStep View Profile History	The Final Straw Posted : 15 May, 2011 06:28 PM I got set up with a Deaf girl from Gallaudet, the local Deaf college. I am a fluent signer, so I was fine with communicating, but I don't do blind dates. My co-worker said he thought we would match perfectly. After 2 minutes into her not making any attempt to conversate, I spent dinner trying to ask her questions and regalling tales of humour, but to no avail. We were eating at this Irish restaurant in D.C. and they have THE most amazing Guiness ice cream, kinda like a creamy version of Dublin Mudslide, sans the chunks of stuff.(ice cream is Gods gift to taste buds, if it isn't in the Bible, it should be) Before ordering, I asked her if she wanted anything, she said no. When my ice cream hit the table, she took 2/3 of it to the face in one breath. On the inside, I lost my mind. I smiled through it, walked her back, stayed a gentleman. But there was no 2nd date...

Rachel_Grace View Profile History	The Final Straw Posted : 19 May, 2011 03:14 AM That must have been some pretty tasty ice cream! I don't blame you, though.. Taking food off of someone else's plate is rude.. ESPECIALLY if you just met them.. Sorry, buddy. :( Post Reply
