Listeners, in your opinions, what is appropriate first date chat? The weather? Stocks and shares? How many kgs you can bench-press? Ugh, no – but surely not dental work or having sex in paint, as contended with by questioneers in Answer Me This! Episode 288:
Also on today’s agenda:
Northern Hemisphere vs Southern Hemisphere
nerdy Jewish vampires
cat toothbrushes
Facebook culls
sex pickles
The 64,000 Sixpence Question
washing up
communion wafers
fangs
and
the Clam Van Damme.
Plus: Olly tempts terribly fate by ignoring chain letters; Helen needs to learn to love ‘visually striking cerebral foreign dramas’, whatever Netflix thinks those are; and Martin the Sound Man studies human behaviour via the greasy spoon breakfast.

A long question about the bawdy requests of Australians. A handful of cuss-words.

Answer Me This! Podcast

My first ever first date was a clusterfuck from start to finish. He was at least three inches shorter that the 5’8″, he said he was, and with me being 5’4″, that was quite noticeable.
The only “compliment” he gave me was to remark at how blue my watch was, and he spent a considerable chunk of our time together telling me about his last relationship which was with a submissive woman, and how much he enjoyed BDSM.
I knew it was bad when even the barman was looking at me with pity from across the room…
Needless to say, I used the old ’emergency phonecall’ technique and got myself out of there.
