Dating Gone Bad

Real life story

Skirt-chasing playboy Daniel Anceneaux of Marseilles, France, spent weeks talking with a sensual woman on the Internet before arranging a romantic rendezvous at a remote beach - only to discover that his online sweetie was his own mother!

"I walked out on that dark beach thinking I was going to hook up with the girl of my dreams," the Daniel later admitted. "And there she was, wearing white shorts and a pink tank top, just like she'd said she would."

"But when I got close, she turned around - and we both got the shock of our lives. I didn't know what to say. All I could think was, 'Oh my God! it's Mama!'”

But this was not the end. Just as the mortified mother and son realized their error, a patrolman passed by and cited them for visiting a restricted beach after dark.

"We were so flustered, we blurted out the whole story to the cop," recalled matronly mom Nicole, 52. "The policeman wrote a report, a local TV station got hold of it - and the next thing we knew, our picture and our story was all over the 6 o'clock news."

"People started pointing and laughing at us on the street - and they haven't stopped laughing since."
