My best date (that never happened):
I'm a huge Sabres fan, and my boyfriend was (is) a huge Penguins fan. We met at Pitt and had been dating for about 6 months when he started dropping hints about hockey. Well, I found out (later) that he had bought Pens/Sabres tickets so we could watch a game together. I couldn't go to the first game, so he traded in to get tickets to the next game. I couldn't make it to that - so he gave up because there were no more Pens/Sabres games in Pittsburgh that season.
He didn't tell me any of this for months after because he was worried that I would be even more upset about life if I knew what we missed, especially because the second game was during the time when my family was going through some really tough times as far as my mother's illness so there was no way I was even going to appreciate going that day anyway.
He's still a sweetie for going through the trouble to harassing one of his friends with season tickets into letting him buy, then give back, not one but two sets of tickets for Pens games.
