Have you ever seen the movie “The Caller”? It’s a thriller/horror film starring Halle Berry. Lots of suspense and to my surprise, lots of blood. But the scariest part of the film was my date.

We had met for lunch. He seemed a little high-energy, and slightly annoying, but I was hoping it was just nerves and he would simmer down and turn out to be a nice guy.

So we decided to catch a movie. And that’s when the crazy came out. (First rule of dating — the crazy always, eventually, comes out.) During the most gorey parts of the movie, as I was cowering and hiding my eyes, he was — wait for it — laughing. Miniacally. I felt like I was living in my own personal horror movie.
