He acted very nervous. On our date David took a thermos along, and hid it under the table. He ordered coffee, and filled the thermos one cup at a time, taking advantage of the free refills. When ordering, David inquired whether the restaurant had any live food. During our meal David held a debate, taking both sides. On our date David ordered a baked potato for a side dish. When the waiter brought our food, David hid the potato, waited a few minutes, and asked the waiter for the potato he "never got". When the waiter returned with another potato for him, David had the first one back up on the plate. And he repeated this later in the meal. David spoke in pig latin throughout the meal David insisted that the waiter cut his food into little pieces. And insisted that he take a bite of everything on the plate, to make sure no one poisoned it. David accused me, his date, of espionage. David didn’t use use any verbs during the entire meal. At the end of our meal David passed the hat in the restaurant. He said he planned to use the proceeds to pay the bill. On our date David fed imaginary friends. After he was finished David licked his plate. Then he offered to lick mine. Comments David made to dates: David said to me, "Are you any good in bed? Because I want to know if I'm wasting my time here." "Where did you say you moved here from? Oh, that town has some great hookers." While we were eating, David made funny faces at other patrons, then sneered at their reactions. On our date David read a newspaper, and then a book, during our meal. While we were eating David stood up every five minutes, circled our table with his arms outstretched, and made airplane sounds. He ordered a bucket of lard. In the middle of our meal David pulled out a harmonica and played blues songs.
