"When I wrote this post defending mentioning exes with new dates, I left out one little detail: the night before, I had talked about my ex-boyfriends on a first date. But, um, that wasn&amp;#x27;t the most out-there conversation we had that night. Nope, not even close.I always make sure my first dates take place at Medieval Times, just like these folks.Appetizers were still on the table when when my date said to me, &amp;quot;If only it weren&amp;#x27;t so late, you could try on the wedding dress.&amp;quot; Wait, what? Let&amp;#x27;s back up... Somehow, we got on the subject of how tiny I am, and our conversation reminded him of a boutique just down the street from the restaurant that has a wedding dress in the window with a cool story. He&amp;#x27;d been in the boutique with a friend and started talking to the owner about the beautiful vintage wedding dress from the 19th Century. Despite the amazingness of the dress, she can&amp;#x27;t sell it because it&amp;#x27;s so small, and she&amp;#x27;s never had a customer fit it. The owner has apparently vowed to give it away to the first person who can zip into it. My date&amp;#x27;s friend, also small, tried but couldn&amp;#x27;t fit, &amp;quot;But I bet you could,&amp;quot; he told me. &amp;quot;If only it weren&amp;#x27;t so late, you could try on the wedding dress.&amp;quot; I didn&amp;#x27;t freak&amp;amp;mdash;actually, I laughed, and loved his spontaneity and obvious comfort in his own skin. For the record, I totally would have tried on the dress. Y&amp;#x27;know, for research. I work for Glamour, after all. How epic of a first date story would I have had the store been open! Later in the night, I was responsible for the second strange conversation; I admitted I&amp;#x27;d asked for a pre-date vote of approval from a friend I knew had friends in another city who used to know my date. Yep, we&amp;#x27;re talking third-degree date-vetting here. Fessing up to Google-stalking someone isn&amp;#x27;t really a big deal&amp;amp;mdash;it&amp;#x27;s practically its own verb by now&amp;amp;mdash;but my confession was definitely worthy of some eyebrow-raising, especially during a first date! What can I say? I think the pussyfooting-around-propriety thing was ancient history by then, anyway. And yes, in case you&amp;#x27;re curious, we&amp;#x27;re still seeing each other! What&amp;#x27;s the oddest, strangest or biggest no-no topic you&amp;#x27;ve ever talked about on a first date? Were you or your date embarrassed, or totally Gung-ho? P.S. You want more dating stories? We&amp;#x27;ve got tons of true dating confessions here. Photo: Thinkstock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
