Worst date ever
 
Lisa's dating thread made me think of the idea for us to each share our worst date ever. I will start!

Started talking to this man on the internet. He could spell, and used proper grammar (unusual when you meet someone online!) and we seemed to enjoy a lot of the same things. I was impressed that he had custody of his 15 year old son (not a dead beat dad). He didn't have a picture of himself though.

Fast forward after several weeks of talking online, (but no picture), he suggests that we meet for dinner. I would only meet someone in a public place under these circumstances and we hadn't talked on the phone or anything. He mentions in a chat that I'll know him because he always wears a denim cap. (First red flag.. a cap, indoors? denim?)

I arrive way too early at the restaurant and decide to drive around the area and see what else is around. As I pull back into the parking lot, I see another car pulling in and the driver is wearing a baseball hat. Hmm, could be him? There is someone in the passenger seat though! I didn't see them go into the restaurant since I was parking my car. Deep breath, go into the restaurant. There were only a few people there, and I look around and see this guy waving at me. He has a big grin on his face, and is missing a couple teeth in front. He is wearing his denim cap which is completely oil covered and an oil covered jacket. He has long, very greasy hair poking out from under the "cap". I think "What am I doing here?". But, I will be polite.

Then I realize, there is a teenage boy sitting across from him in the booth, mohawk, numerous piercings, and equally filthy. So, where am I going to sit? Next to toothless man or mohawk boy? I perch myself on the very edge of the seat of the booth, as far from toothless man as I can. I was a little concerned that something might crawl out from this guy's sleeve!

We have some small talk while waiting for food to arrive. At this point, I was house hunting and toothless man (referred to as TM from here on out) says "How is the house hunting going?". Mohawk Boy (MB) says "You know, you could just get a nice double wide in that trailer park down the road". I just smile politely and say I would prefer a house.

Conversation turns to the day that MB came home with the mohawk and how mad TM was. I mention that I used to work on an adolescent psych unit and that every child rebels in some way.. saying that a hair cut is the least damaging way that a child rebels.. something like "If that's the worst thing he's done, you're doing alright". I had stated the name of the hospital as well. TM says "You worked at ____?" I nod yes. "HE" (pointing at MB) was there, just in February!" (which was shortly before I left there). Now, I worked the outpatient unit most of the time but covered some groups on the inpatient unit as well and this young man was inpatient so I didn't know him well. Then MB speaks up "Yeah, me and ___, ___, and ___, started a riot. We were kicking the nurses and security guards". Now I DID know the other boys he mentioned and knew them to have incited the worst riot we ever had on that unit!

This was my first date after my divorce and my worst nightmare come true!

I got away from that restaurant as fast as I could and put Toothless Man on ignore from IMs forever.

And people wonder why I stay Invisible when I log onto Yahoo...

Wow, AGDee, that REALLY IS bad! I'm not sure if my story could beat that. Anyway, back in high school, a friend of mine, B, set me up on a date for a Valentine's Day semi-formal. I was told that he was very nice, cute, and played hockey :D. Another friend of mine, K, was hosting a dinner party prior to the semi, and I would be meeting the date there. He was supposed to arrive with my friend, but didn't. He arrived about an hour later, just as everyone was having dessert. OK, fine, so he had something to do before. So B introduced me to him, and K was like, "hey, have some pasta and cake". The date was "uhh, my mom fed me already." (he wouldn't even have the cake!) OK, maybe that was why he was late. Then, around 9:30 or so, people were starting to head to the school for the dance. B then tells me that she had to "go home to get something" and that she and J (my date) would "meet me at school". We get to school, and they show up a few minutes later. We go into the dance, music blares, etc. A bit later, she and J disappear! I ended up slow dancing with another girl's date (which she later finds out that I had a huge crush on...long story) I never found out what happened to J, nor do I really care now. I think B wanted to set me up with him so she could have him too. Strange thing is, B had a date that night too.

ETA: I forgot to mention that J hardly spoke to me at all! I tried the usual, school questions, like "what's your favourite class?" as well as "So I hear you play hockey. How long have you played?"...I got one word answers!

The worse date I have ever had had to be in high school. I dated this same guy off and on during those 4 years. Well, one night after having not gone out in months we decide to go see a movie... but of course we are there early (don't really know why we were there early) anyway, the movies were in one of those shopping centers that also has Target and American Eagle, along with all of the Limited Inc. Shops.... so we go into Target. My date for the evening had been acting silly all evening but I just though he was being goofy... while in Target he mentions having the "munchies" (aka He was high)... I was mortified... (I was/am a goody goody... never touched the stuff)

I demanded that he take me home (though looking back I should have called someone to come get me... days before everyone had a cell phone).... it wasn't the fact that he was high (I had known that he used every once in a blue moon but it was the fact that he knew how I felt about the stuff and that he had to get high before a date with me.... very insulted. Along with the fact that he had put my life in danger by driving.

I have 2 bad date stories, although fortunately neither of them happened to me. They did, however, happen to the same person, my best friend/chapter sister/roomate (A).

Date #1: One of our sisters, J, is from a tiny town in upstate NY that has more cows than people. She had a good friend from home that used to visit her all the time, and was friendly with other sisters. So, J's friend thinks it's a fabulous idea to set up A and another sister, M, with these two guys from their town (who J doesn't know). (To clarify this story, A and M are very much city girls - one is from NYC and one is from the Philly area.) So, the big night comes, and a bunch of sisters are sitting in the living room of the house, awaiting the guys' arrival. They arrive in a beat up old pickup truck, and when they come up to the door, we see that they are the very definition of redneck, and a look of absolute horror comes over A and M's faces. However, they can't back out after the guys drove 5 hours to go out with them, so the four of them go off to dinner. When they got back, they said it was the most awful date that either of them had been on. Neither of the guys had ever been outside of their county and neither had any aspirations or ambition, so basically they had nothing at all in common to talk about. Then, the guys started telling stories about their guns and how one of them shot himself in the foot just for fun. To top it all off, they started talking about shooting squirrels! That's about when A and M asked them to take them home. Neither of them will let anyone set them up on a blind date ever again.

Date #2: A met this guy at a party, and he seemed nice, so they went on a date. The date itself went pretty well, and they were chatting on the way home, so A decided to invite him up to her apartment. When they got to her apartment, they started kissing, and then, out of nowhere, the guy pulled her hair really hard. She pushed him away and told him to stop pulling her hair, and he said, "I was just lightly tugging it." She told him it wasn't acceptable, thought that was the end of it, and they started kissing again. Then, the weirdo snapped her thong, which was the last straw. She screamed at him for being a sick b@stard and threw him out of her apartment.


(Just so you don't think she always has luck this bad, A now has a very nice boyfriend who doesn't shoot squirrels or pull her hair and snap her thong. :))

OUCH!!! Those are bad dates! I am collecting my thoughts and will wait to post my nightmares.I have to watch "The Batchelor" and see what happens to Trish.

My Mary Cathryn did a modelling shoot with her in Atlanta 2 yrs. ago for a Bridal Mag. MC was the flower girl to her. She was very nice and so sweet to MC. I can't believe she has turned into such an awesome hag.
