We went on a lot of dates and always had fun. A month or so later, as we lay in bed after he slept with me for the first time, he asked me if I wanted to see the engagement ring his ex-fiance returned to him a few months before. Then he started talking about how he didn’t want to get rid of it in case she changed her mind.

She told me she was spending the weekend at the beach with a guy she met on an Internet video game to “figure out how I feel about him, face to face.”

Aftermath: She ended up with another guy she met on the same video game.

Met cute boy. Had sex with cute boy. A lot of sex. For a full year, had sex with said boy. Didn’t have much of anything outside of the bed play and dirty texts. I knew it was over when he left his current girlfriend of three years for his best (girl) friend from high school…although she left her husband because she has mental problems.
—Nadine
Aftermath: Turns out she really is psychotic and keeps a tight leash on him. They now have a baby girl. Isn’t that sweet?

I was fooling around with a much older man, whose daughter was actually a good friend of mine. One morning, after not even ten minutes of trying to contact his daughter, he turns to me and says, “… my daughters have to be the biggest mistakes of my life!”
—Rowan
Aftermath: He actually called me later that day, drunk, trying to convince me that I should leave my little sister’s birthday party to join him and his friends for an orgy. … Haven’t seen him since.

My girlfriend wanted to drop by. Told her I was playing poker with friends that night and to come the next day. She showed up anyway. Tried to include her in the game, but it was hopeless. She sat out of later rounds, but proceeded to grope me from behind. She nearly had my shirt off in front of eight friends when I took her outside my apartment and told her to go home. She ran crying and phoned ten minutes later to break up with me. I ignored future calls.
—MJ
Aftermath: Six months later, she phoned to say she was getting married. I wished her the best. She told me the precise location and time of the wedding. I heard later this was to encourage me to pull some “Graduate”-style last-minute intervention, and she was disappointed I didn’t. She broke up with her husband a year later. She’s apparently a bit of a nutjob. Dodged a bullet.
