Reactions to the "Worst Date Ever" story

Judging from my email and comments made to me in real life and instant messaging, people seem to be taking either one of these two things from the Worst Date Ever story:

• “Thank God I’m married no longer stuck in the ‘dating scene!'”
• “Knowing that I’m not alone with my dating woes and that even the weirdest situations can be survived gives me hope!”

Either way, I’m glad you folks liked it. Thanks!
