Make The Best Awkward Come-on Tape

j.blo — Fri, 02 May 2008 16:38:38 EDT

Years ago, for a first date, a certain gentleman caller made me a mixtape with both "Pony" by Ginuwine and "Freak Me" by Silk

You say that like it's a bad thing.

@ Nic Fit: Thanks! I actually had a brain fart (or was that a brainwave?) and added another classic to the mix -- New Edition, "Can You Stand The Rain?" Oh yeah.

@ BowlingAlleyLawyer: I own the CD which, actually, could probably be a good entry for this. Am thinking I might add Terence Trent D'Arby's "Sign Your Name" next.

Sorry Nick, but my satellite connection here at the farm is way to slow to upload to muxtape. So I'm attaching a picture of my playlist called How I Will Kill Your Fat, Lesbian Lover (who happens to be an interior decorator), and Make You Mine.

I hope creepy is the same as awkward.

@The Dewd: Wow, that is an amazing playlist.

The lead singer of Rammstein was fucking one of the hottest women in NYC for a few weeks (someone I happen to know), and I'm almost certain Du Hast was on his sexy playlist, too.

Once my computer was on the fritz, so I had my friend put songs on a CD to give to my boyfriend when we had been dating for a few months. She "accidentally" slipped Lady Marmalade by Christina Aguilera in the middle of it.
That was awkward when we were making out in the back of my car.

Years ago, for a first date, a certain gentleman caller made me a mixtape with both "Pony" by Ginuwine and "Freak Me" by Silk. The rest of the tape was a mixture of limp hip hop, Herb Alpert and the Tiajuana brass, and Mission of Burma. There was no second date.
