So you met Mr. or Miss Right (Now) and you're looking for some place in the Charlotte area to take them on your first date ... and you're trying to do it without breaking the bank.
Usually people say skip the movie since you can't talk and it's dark. I say go to the drive-in in Belmont. It's an old throwback to 1950s dating and the cost for admission is $4 a person. Though it's discouraged, you can pack a dinner that you two want to eat and watch a movie in the car. But the food at the drive-in snack bar is much cheaper than what you pay for at most cinema-plexes around the Queen City.
At the Belmont drive-in, you can buy fries for $1. Their menu is online along with the prices.
You can talk all you want and not worry about someone telling you to shut up.
Show time is at dusk.
L had big plans for her boyfriend's birthday. But you know what they say about the best laid plans.
The day started with breakfast at Landmark on Central Avenue and she said had she known what was going to happen later that day, she would've stuck to just drinking orange juice instead of getting eggs with cheese.
After breakfast, they headed to her car and it wouldn't start. She swore inwardly as he asked her to pop the hood. Time was not on their side because he had to work that evening. She needed a battery for the car, so they were able to drive down the street to Auto Zone and get a battery installed; however, it cost them an hour that she had planned to use to model the black lace teddy she had on underneath her maxi dress.
She thinks that all of this stuff happened because she wore the wrong shoes. Flats instead of the five-inch heels she'd purchased to go along with the lingerie. But it had been raining Monday morning, and she didn't want to slip and fall. L said she should've risked the fall.
After the battery was installed and the car was running properly, she headed to her house and they ended up on the sofa watching TV.
Why are we talking? She wondered as they joked about something they saw on CNN. Finally, the birthday sex began. L was happy, then she was surprised when her boyfriend grabbed the anal lube. She didn't know they were doing that today. Not that she had a problem with it, but this act usually took preparation on her part, a long bath, a day of eating food that didn't make her have to go to bathroom. She would've never eaten eggs and cheese. But it was his birthday, so she went along with flow and for the first 20 minutes, it felt really good. Then she felt something coming ... and it wasn't an orgasm. Though she knew he was about to climax himself, she knew if he poked her one more time, it was going to be really ugly. She turned around, pushed him away and ran into the bathroom.
You know what happened in the bathroom. After she'd moved her bowels, she flushed the toilet and the water didn't go down, it came up. Quickly, L turned the water off wondering who put a curse on her. After 25 minutes of using the plumber's helper, she got the water down, then she was able to clean herself up.
By this time, her boyfriend was sleep and he had to be to work in three hours. "Damn," she thought as she climbed into bed beside him. He woke up, kissed her then got out of the bed and went to the bathroom. She was glad that she'd lit a candle and averted the disaster of having brown stains of the floor.
She heard him washing up and figured that they would be able to go at it one more time before he had to go into work. Then she felt that feeling again. This isn't happening, she thought as she tried to hold back her bowels again. But as her boyfriend returned to the bedroom, she made a beeline back to the bathroom. Fifteen minutes later, she thought that everything was all good and after cleaning herself again, she headed back to the bedroom.
They were able to go at it again, but it was a quickie and not the marathon session that she had planned since circling his birthday on the calendar in with a red marker. And she was kind of ashamed.
While trying not to laugh at L while she told me this story, I thought, "I guess your boyfriend is the man because he really did fuck the shit out of you."

There's nothing worse than a 15-year-old girl who has decided that all men are scum because she lost her virginity to the wrong boy.
Here's a story I heard over the weekend that proves sex education is leaving a generation of kids dumb:
The girl told her friend that she'd been seeing an 18-year-old for five months and he talked her into having sex. She fell for it because so many of her friends were having sex and since this was her first "relationship," she thought he was really a good person.
But it turned out that he was doing what teen boys do: trying to add a notch to his belt. And that's what he did. Now she's left feeling lost and angry. She's unable to tell her parents what happened, and she wants to act out in a bad way against the boy who she had sex with.
School-sponsored sex education fails kids because while it tells them about the mechanics of sex, a lot is left out about the emotional scars that come from sex when you jump in too quickly. It seems that schools are so busy scaring the kids with the dark side of sex that they aren't preparing them to deal with the aftermath of sex or the right way to say "no."
Girls and boys don't know when they are ready for sex. They don't know when they are being taken advantage of because these things aren't discussed in these classes and too many parents are making kids afraid to talk to them honestly about sex until there is a problem like a pregnancy or an STD.
It's bad enough that most sex ed classes only teach abstinence when time and time again that lesson plan has proven not to work.
It's time for schools to realize that there is more to sex than the act and it is high time for kids to learn it so that they will make better choices.Itions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} -->

Last night I had an interesting conversation with a friend who said women become selfish when you take them to a swingers club.
X said that he and his "freak" girl had talked about going to a local swingers club and once he got her tipsy, she was excited to go. He said this was his first time going and he was expecting big fun.
It was kind of slow, he said since it was a Friday night, but there was one couple who caught their eye. The woman was kind of cute, X said but he wasn't attracted to her. His Freak Girl was, though.
He said the two women hit it off and hopped into the pool. They were kissing and then the two women headed upstairs where they began to have sex. While X and the woman's husband watched, X said he wasn't feeling turned on and he didn't want to join in because he wasn't attracted to the other woman.
When it was all over, X said he and his Freak Girl left. She asked him what was wrong. "You acted as if you weren't into it."
"I wasn't," he said he told her. "You were selfish, but it's OK. You had a good time."
"But I did it for you."
"Nah, you did it for yourself," he told her all the while thinking that he would never take her back to the swingers club.
So ladies, here are some rules that X wants to share.
But X said the most important rule is don't be selfish. That's just wrong, he says. I tend to agree.
