Funny stories your FH used to impress you.

My story:

FH has a scar on his arm. I asked where it came from. He told me that he had gone camping one weekend. He was asleep on this trip one night and a loud thud woke him up. He looks outside the tent and sees a baby bear rummaging through their trash following the smell of food. FH said that he got up to try and coax the bear away. I asked if he was scared because it's a BEAR, baby or not, there may be a Mama Bear around. He said he wasn't and that the "little guy" wasn't aggressive. He said that just out of playfulness, the bear accidentally swiped his arm and that's how he got the scar.

That's what he told me. He had me going for about 20 minutes. Mind you, we had JUST started dating.. maybe less than 2 months after he told me this story.

He eventually told me he was BSing me and that... alas... this baby bear was not a bear... but...

a WEED WACKER.

Anyone have any stories like this where your FH was just trying to impress you? Share!

    Not my FH's style, but I imagine there will be lots of good stories in this post.

    I think he impressed me most when he casually mentioned the upper level math classes he took in high school. My freshman year I took Calc. . .That kind of thing impresses me LOL

    Mine is about a scar too! He seemed so proud if himself for having it (I have tons of scars...this is his only one). He explained how he and his hs friends branded themselves with a bolt. ...what? Not impressed. Still love him though.

    OMG my FH told me for the longest time that his middle name was Adolf. I was like, omg that's a weird choice, but figured it was a family name. I mean, he really had me believing that was his real name. Come to find out, his middle name is really Adam. What a doof!!!

    Caleb likes to tell this story. Its not a nice story, and I expect it to offend many a feminist. But I love that he always opens the door for me, and I commented on it. He told me this story about when he was in college, and he held a door open for a girl, and she looked at him all offended and said, "I don't need a MAN to hold a door open for me." So he slams the door shut, holds it closed, and goes, "you do now, don't you bitch!"

    Not his classiest moment, but I do think its funny. But I'm a bad person, so hey.

    Caitlin, if you are a bad person then so am I because I think that's great!

    My fiancee didn't make up any stories to try to impress me but did give me an opportunity to impress him! On our first date, he told me he once heard that if a girl reaches over to unlock your car door after she gets in, she's a keeper. I would have done so anyway because that's just who I am.

    Caitlin you are in bad company cause I think it is funny too!

    Actually the only stories that Hubby uses to impress me or make me laugh have to do with his Arkansas relatives and the things they do!

    ETA: Theresa I once had a guy tell me after I reached over to unlock his door on a first date that he never asks a girl on a second date that doesnt do that!

    The night we met, when I excused myself from the table to go to the ladies' room, FH said, "Mention my name and you'll get a good seat."

    When we travel, he'll make up ridiculous stories about how the different rivers, towns, etc. got their names.

    Caitlin: He cracks me up though with stories of his Poppy and the farm (grandfather). I cannot wait to go visit! And then there is the "Biscuit" story!

    NancyT: I do that too, really makes Hubby laugh because some of my stories sound true but I really am just making them up off the cuff!

    @Nancy T., I love that. As we pass by certain houses, I look at each one and tell my FH a story about the people that I think live inside each one. I make up the dumbest stuff but he thinks it's funny.

    With some houses though my story starts and ends with, "Oh, yeah, that one's haunted."

    I think it was shooting a rattlesnake when he was 12 or 13 from a saddle while his 6 year old sister was on a 4 wheeler next to it.

    When we first got together, FH and I were just joy riding around on some back roads. I was driving but had no clue where we were. He starts talking all these things he use to do back in the day and said he use to be a stripper. I wasn't buying it at first but he was so serious and said about a mile up the road is a little red building that use to be a strip joint and then it shut down. Well of course, we passed the red building and even though it didn't have any signs left on it, it really did look like it could have been one of those places in the middle of no where!

    He later admitted he made the whole thing up. I've done forgot now what the building really use to be - but it wasn't a strip joint!

    I am definitely the maker-up of stories. I have the hardest time saying "I don't know" so I have been known to make up an answer. For example, my grandmother's neighbor had CDs hanging in the yard. FH asked me why and I said it was because both of his kids are blind, so maybe it was some special CDs that helped their learning process. FH called my bullshit on that one!

    FH broke his nose in third grade. I am still not sure if this is real or not. He told me that the other kids were making fun of another kid so he was trying to help him and ran smack into the play ground and that is why he now has a deviated septum. Seems like a story, but FH is soooo goodhearted, it's probably true.
