"&amp;amp;#8220;For the four years of our relationship, before going to sleep, my [English] boyfriend would pick up the phone and call his &amp;amp;#8216;mummy&amp;amp;#8217; across the ocean to say good night! Enough said.&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8212;Diane B., 33New York City &amp;amp;#8220;I once went on several dates with a guy whose name I only remember as Track Pants. Every time we went out, he wore the same pair of black workout pants with two white stripes down the sides. Eventually, I was going out with him just to see if he would wear any other pants!&amp;amp;#8217;&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8212;Emily Cantrell, 31 via e-mail &amp;amp;#8220;I met a guy online who seemed great, and we made plans to meet up. As the evening approached he said, &amp;amp;#8216;There&amp;amp;#8217;s something I have to tell you. Remember that girl I told you about that I used to date? Well, I still live with her. I hope that isn&amp;amp;#8217;t a problem.&amp;amp;#8217; Hello!&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8212;Rebecca Schwartz, 29 via e-mail &amp;amp;#8220;An ex of mine couldn&amp;amp;#8217;t fall asleep without a ratty red and white blanket he&amp;amp;#8217;d had since he was a baby. Not sexy.&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8212;Danielle D., 26 via e-mail &amp;amp;#8220;I was on a moonlit stroll with a guy I&amp;amp;#8217;d been seeing for two months when he asked, &amp;amp;#8216;Do you ever wonder what your soulmate will be like?&amp;amp;#8217; My heart did the obligatory flutter as I said, &amp;amp;#8216;Well, um, what do you think yours will be like?&amp;amp;#8217; Smiling and gazing up at the sky, he said, &amp;amp;#8216;She&amp;amp;#8217;ll be beautiful, spunky, artistic and into yoga.&amp;amp;#8217; He&amp;amp;#8217;s describing me, I thought. Then he added, &amp;amp;#8216;I guess I&amp;amp;#8217;ll know her when I meet her.&amp;amp;#8217; We split the next day.&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8212;Jamie Kiffel, 30 Nyack, N.Y. &amp;amp;#8220;My boyfriend, bless him, once came over to watch a football game in a pair of tiger-striped pants in his team&amp;amp;#8217;s colors. He also had on a matching tie-dyed shirt. It hurt my eyes to look at him.&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8212;Andrea Pasquine, 26 Bensalem, Pa. &amp;amp;#8220;My husband dresses really well now. But when he came to my office to pick me up for our second date, I was mortified to see him standing in the lobby, wearing a cashmere mock turtleneck sweater tucked into far-too-tight acid-washed jeans. I avoided meeting his eyes, ran outside and hid behind a car about two blocks away. Then I called him from my cell phone and said, &amp;amp;#8216;Oh, you&amp;amp;#8217;re at my office? I must have missed you!&amp;amp;#8217; We met in a nondescript bar far from my coworkers&amp;amp;#8217; prying eyes. He still insists that sweater looked great! He says the saleslady told him it matched his eyes.&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8212;Dana Carada, 34 Stamford, Conn. &amp;amp;#8220;I never knew about my boyfriend&amp;amp;#8217;s clown fetish until the day he decided to decorate our living room. I came home to find a large framed Ringling Bros., Barnum &amp;amp; Bailey poster hanging on the wall, next to a poster of a single clown face with the corner ripped off. The clowns both look possessed. My boyfriend insisted, &amp;amp;#8216;They&amp;amp;#8217;re cool and retro,&amp;amp;#8217; because they were constantly stolen from his dorm room in college. I don&amp;amp;#8217;t think they&amp;amp;#8217;re cool or retro&amp;amp;#8212;just creepy and depressing!&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8212;Cassie Barasch, 28 Miami Beach, Fla."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
