Tell me stories about your awful dates.

ReturnOfKuus:

I went on a date with a guy as a teen, and neither of us drove yet, so we took the bus.  We got to the restaurant, saw the menu with prices, and he said "Order anything you want."  I ordered the cheapest thing on the menu anyway, and when the bill came, he went white and told me that he didn't have enough.  So we had to throw in our bus money to cover the bill, which meant we couldn't get back home. 

 

We spent a couple of hours searching the sidewalks for fallen change until I had enough to call my parents, who came and picked us up.  While we waited, he confessed that he'd been having some confusing thoughts and feelings lately, and he thinks he might be gay.  This great date was topped off by the fact that I was running so late that I had to go straight to tap class in street clothes, and got yelled at.  It was awesome.

this is the best teenage awkwardness story imaginable. you poor thing!

I think this one is a win!  Great story!

One of my worst dates was a double date in high school.  My friend K. had graduated early & started college (we were going to be roommates the following year).  She was back in town & talked me into a double date with these college guys.  I had just come home from the hospital that day from having knee surgery & was on crutches & pain killers.

They show up & I get in the car & the springs are sticking out of the seat I'm supposed to sit on.  Takes some manauvering so I don't get gouged (remember, crutches & immobilized knee).  They take us to the dollar movie & we have to pay for our own tickets & snacks.  Whatever, I'm all drugged up .  After the movie, they take us to the local arcade (we're talking the 1980's, so pinball & pacman) & expect us to just watch them play games & got all whiney when we wandered off to play a game & talk to friends that were there.  I just wanted to go home.

Finally, we got them to take us home & my date tries to make out in front of my house. 

I not only never saw him again, I changed where I went to college so my friendship with K. also ended that night.

A bad first date post would never be complete without Clarissa's Titanic story.

I would try to tell it, but no justice would be done.
