Chapter 1: What wild dating story begins with a shrine to an ex?
Hello, and welcome to Reddit Stories. I'm Shane, and today's theme is all about some wild dating stories. And I am joined by two people who I think have had wild dating lives, Tommy and Chance. Woo!
You just kick him on the leg down. If we both did that, the couch would fall apart.
It would just rip in half. You can do yours now if you want to.
It's a good roller coaster right there. Thank you. So these stories apparently pretty wild.
That's great.
Apparently. I mean, I feel like most of the dating ones are. Yeah.
People get crazy in love.
Yeah. It's true. Okay. Shall we just go get right into it? Let's do it. Okay. I'm down for some wild stories. We know this first one's going to be good because it comes from Best of Redditor Updates. Okay. Love it. It's going to be a couple parts to this. The guy I'm dating, this is a 36-year-old man, has a shrine to my, 37-year-old woman, ex-husband in his house.
The guy I'm dating has a shrine to my ex-husband in his house. The guy I'm dating has a shrine to his? The writer's ex-husband in his house.

Chapter 2: How did a boyfriend steal a stranger's ice cream?
He had framed posters of all my ex's bands, autographed signature guitars, and every record he has ever released were framed on the walls. He even had magazine articles about him and some of his bands framed. Every wall in his game room was covered with my ex's face and his signature guitars. So I may have messed up here, but I kept my mouth shut and didn't say anything.
He knows I'm divorced, but he definitely doesn't know it's from his idol. Girl. We are seeing each other tonight for our fourth date and I know I need to tell him, but how? I really like this guy, but I'm afraid if I tell him he will freak out and run. What should I say? Where should I tell him? I just don't wanna damage our relationship because I can really see it becoming long term.
I know I should have told him at his house, but honestly I was in shock. Does anybody know how to approach this?
And he has his final part of the collection, his ex-wife. Yeah, wow.
I finally collected everything.
Are we sure he doesn't know? Yes, that's what I was gonna ask.
If he's a big fan.
If he has got magazine articles, he's got all this shit, he knows he was married to someone. Yeah. This dude knows. If he's a die hard. He's a die hard. He's like, I wanna, I wanna kiss the girl that he kissed. No, no. He's got to know. But also, she should have told him right then, right there. Because also, he knows. She should have been like, oh, he definitely knows this guy.
He probably knows who I am. Right then, right there, get it over with, rip off the bandaid.

Chapter 3: What happens when a mom’s fiancé wants to be called Dad?
I'm a little, I guess maybe, I'm a little surprised, because we're all like public figures in a way, and it's like, we know that information gets out there, even information that you do everything you can to keep secret, that I'm kind of surprised that she was married to him for seven years, and she's not even questioning whether he's, like if his whole basement is filled
And it's like, he's Googled him. He's Googled him a lot.
Imagine him having never Googled the man he's a guest with. He's like, I've never Googled him.
I don't know anything about his life.
He knows.
He knows, how else can he get all that shit? Which does make it freaky that he hasn't brought it up to her, maybe, once he showed it. But also, it's like, I'm gonna show you this. Like, do you have anything to say about this?
Someone said, have you ever been in photos with your ex-husband that this new guy might have seen? I find it hard to believe that in this day and age, he wouldn't know who the former wife of his idol is. She said, this never dawned on me until I posted it, but there are pictures of us all over the internet. Now I'm a little freaked out that he already knew.
Lastly, someone said, if he's such a fan, he knows you. OP said, yeah, I think you guys are all correct, and I don't think I should continue seeing him. I'm beginning to think it's not a coincidence at all. Okay, update.
Also, Carrie from Sex and the City says, friends who set friends up with other friends are the most evil people on the planet. So this girl, I don't know who, she has not been mentioned, but Miss Girly Thing, who's ever setting her up, she was doing some nefarious shit, I bet. Two weeks ago, I met a guy through a friend.

Chapter 4: Why does a husband dream of his first love?
I thought it was a little odd, but I felt fine with it until I remembered his man cave basement. I asked him if he knew I was married to his favorite musician, then why the fuck would he bring me down there to show me all of the memorabilia? His response was too weird for me. He said, I was trying to see if you would confess. I was like, confess to what? And he said to my being married to my ex.
I told him that I thought it was pretty concerning that he tried to trick me into some weird confession and that I didn't think we would work out. He accepted it and didn't seem upset or anything. Dinner had already been served, so we started eating when he proceeded to bombard me with questions about my ex.
And now we're onto the real reason we're all here.
When is he releasing new material? What is his favorite band? What does he do during the day of a show? Is he vegan? What's his mother's maiden name? Okay, so I made up the last one, LOL. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Finally, he could sense my discomfort and we ended the dinner and parted ways. He said he would text me the next day just as friends, which I said was okay.
Well, his text the next day was trying to get him and his friends VIP passes when my ex comes near us to play. I did not respond and I blocked his number because he kept texting again and again, begging me for the hookup. It was desperate and weird. Anyway, I called my ex to warn him about this dude, even though he seems harmless. He doesn't know where I live, and I didn't get any psycho vibes.
I think he just wanted me as a trophy, as some user put it in my last post. Ew, thanks Reddit. I'm sorry, you didn't get any psycho vibes?
Yeah.
Girlie, you need to be a little more aware. So he became friends with Emma in order to get to her.
Yeah. That is like Megamind crazy shit. That is like the Joker planning a giant Gotham extravagant shit.

Chapter 5: What’s the story behind a puppet made of a boyfriend?
You're never looking at someone as a means to an end. You're fascinated by every person individually as well. And that's fine. That is how networking works. Networking is being like, I'm friends with you, and oh, I've met people through you, and now I'm friends with them, and now I'm meeting people through them. That's fine. He did this with intent.
of getting to other people. And that's never okay. He's got an end goal.
He was never interested in Emma as a human. He needed her to get to her. Well, I'm glad OP escaped that.
And he was never interested in her either.
He was not. It was the idea of her.
And as soon as she said, we can just be friends, he's like, great, I need this from you, I need this from you, I need this from you.
Oh, God. She, frankly, needs to be a little more paranoid. That's why, yeah. She is not paranoid enough.
Well, I think, yeah, I guess her husband is a celebrity, so she might not have to be that paranoid.
Well, the thing is, yeah, the thing is this, though, like, it's almost the more niche of a community you're in, the more intense the fans are. I don't know what metalhead fans are like, but I know that's not mainstream stuff. That's true. For them, it means so much more to them. So they're way more diehard about it. There's probably, I don't know.

Chapter 6: How does a 'gaycation' affect a marriage?
Wild. Wild. That hits a, what, like an eight or nine on the wild scale.
Yeah, that's scary. That's like a stalker, like straight up.
Okay, it's fair to bring this up. Would any realm of this be a deal breaker if someone knows you or something, like from your career, from Smosh or from YouTube?
Does it happen often to you? No. It's happened twice to me, and it's not a deal breaker. Really? Really. It depends on the level. If they pretend like they don't, and then I found out they did, and they're like, I actually, then that weirds me out.
Yeah, but if they come into it, and they're just like, hey, by the way, you're hilarious, love your shit. Hey, let's get a drink.
Then you're just like, oh. Boom, I'm in. That's fine. I think there's levels to it. I never experienced it before. And, you know, out here in LA, you might experience a bit, like, they might be also a peer, where they're like, oh, I'm an actor. Oh, I've seen your stuff. Right. Yeah. But a fan, like, where they're like, oh, I'm a fan. I've watched tons of your stuff. Oh, yeah.
I think where I would have had an issue with it is that I'm like, oh, you know an idea of me. Yeah. And this is going to be complicated because this is... Can't wait to disappoint you.
Because it's kind of like, oh, you know the mask that I've put out. Would you like to get to know the person under it?
I love your take. My take is like, oh, you know the mask I put out. Are you ready to be disappointed?
