Man Meets Girl In Bar, Man Tattoos Her Name On Arm, Man Can't Find Her

He had just moved his mother--the most important woman in his life, the woman he'd lived with his entire life--into a nursing home, and he'd recently had his heart broken by a woman he calls "a flirt who played a game with me." His dad died 20 years ago. He's "never been intimate with anybody," but when she kissed him on the night of February 28, 2004, he fell in love with her "on the spot."

The Minnesota Music Café, on the East Side. That's where 46-year-old St. Paul native Kevin Kupferschmidt met a woman he knows only as "Denise." She had brown hair and "a great shape." She wore slipper shoes. He remembers as much because he watched her feet as she danced in front of him. He thinks she looks a little like an actress from The Gilmore Girls, a photo of which he downloaded and looks at constantly on his cell phone.

She was celebrating her 44th birthday, but feeling bad about getting older. He is, he says, "a caring person" and he cheered her up by saying she has a pretty face and looks 10 years younger. She gave him "the sweetest kiss I've ever had in my life." She asked what he did for a living, which "showed she cared." She took him by the hand, led him out onto the dance floor, and taught him how to dance.

<snip>

He heard nothing. He has placed a version of his ad in every issue of City Pages every week ever since. Two years, over one hundred ads, to the tune of $1,500. Last week it ran in the "Message Center" category. "Denise: Miss you. Sweetheart...love you true, only took one tender kiss, touch, yeah, miss sweet kiss, company much, what's phone? Keep in touch, MMC 2-28-04, dance, talk, more? Kevin is lonely, need you only, much."

He thinks about her every day. He looks for her at bowling alleys, coffee shops, anywhere people gather. He thought he saw her at Pappy's in Stillwater one night, but it wasn't her. He saw a brunette at the Minnesota Music Café another night, approached her, and asked her what her name was. She wouldn't say. She was drunk and ran out the door.

He doesn't think he's "a stalker," because these days, the object of his obsession can only be found in his mind. Kevin doesn't talk to anybody about her anymore, because nobody understands. They don't understand how a love like that can happen, how he can't forget her, how she came into his heart that night to stay.

He used to talk to Barry about her, but not anymore, "because Barry thinks I've lost it--ever since after I got the tattoo." He got the tattoo on his upper arm a year ago in Lake City: an etching of two hearts, the names "Kevin" and "Denise," and the words, "You're a sweetheart."

1. Don't laugh. This might be me in 23 years.

:cry:

[matcom]

[SmileyBoy]

3. I'm thinking of a porn star name.

:D

[ContraBass Black]

20. Or me.

:scared:

[skygazer]

4. Oh, my

Over one hundred ads? Um... I don't think she's feeling the same thing you are, Kev. Ya think? :wtf:

5. LOO-HOO-HO-HOO-HOO-ZUR!

6. That is really funny because my ex-husband had my name

tattooed on his arm. I told him he would be sorry that he did that. We divorced and his next two wives had to see my name on his arm every day. I told his last wife whom I was friends with that I would make him wear a band-aid over it.

12. My wife insisted on getting my name with a rose on her ankle....

...but I told her "not me" as far as her name.

7. Poor schmuck.

You've gotta be pretty badly socialized to wind up like that. He maybe should moved out of mom's house, oh, I dunno, 28 YEARS AGO?

[no name no slogan]

11. I was looking at houses by the MN Music Cafe

but if that's the sort of clientele that hangs there, maybe I'll look elsewhere...

14. Hmmm... hadn't thought of that

as long as they got "Freebird" on the jukebox, I'm there

[LisaL]

8. Man is an IDIOT.

[no name no slogan]

10. but what if he meets her again

and ends up hooking up with her.

THEN who's the idiot?

[Crazy Dave]

9. Slipper shoes?

The girl must have tennis shoes and ran as fast as she could away from that guy. My guess is the next kiss he gets, if it even happens, he'll be instantly over "Denise" and just a quickly be madly in love with the new person.

I know one guy who did the same thing, tattooed a woman's name on his arm but at least he had a couple of dates with the woman and even scored a couple of times.

My advice, don't mention the "M" word if you've only been seeing someone for less than 2 weeks.

15. RUNAWAY BRIDE!!

[LostinVA]

18. Isn't this a country song?

The lyrics just write themselves.

[progmom]

19. wow. that's sad.

...and scary.

[DrGonzoLives]

21. Freak

n/t

[DS1]

22. A smart tattooist would have spaced out the letters in the names

So when he finally gives up, he can go looking for Dennise :rofl:

[ET Awful]

23. Okay Kevin - rule number one of tattoos . . . I don't care WHO it is

or what your relationship to them is, don't ever get any name of anyone tattooed anywhere on your body. Just ask Johnny Depp about his "Wino Forever" tat :)

Anything else goes.

24. Nothing is more attractive to a woman than abject desperation.
