Tell me yours and maybe I'll share mine.



GO

ok, I was like, 16, and not quite convinced that a guys attention was not really a way of making fun of me.

I was crushing on a senior, but his friend was crushing on me, so they talked me into going on a group dinner movie thing with a few other people and I agreed.

We all met at TGI Fridays and right away I knew I was in trouble. The 'group' consisted of couples, and I was paired off with 'the friend'.

ok. It’s not that bad.


After dinner all the guys slip away and return momentarily with roses. Every guy receives a delighted kiss from his girl, and I am mortified. WTF? Really?

'The friend' gets a hug and the group resounds with disappointed ‘aw’s.

ok. It’s not that bad.


We all go to a movie, some crap thing with Kirk Cameron and Ione Sky about lawyers I think. I am sitting next to 'friend', who does the creepy thing of …well…creeping. He creeps his hand so that it’s touching mine.

ok. It’s not that bad.

He creeps his hand so that it’s holding mine.

Ok. no big deal, no big deal, don’t raise a fuss.

He leans over and touches his head to mine for the remainder of the movie.

Weird. ok. I can deal. Don’t raise a fuss.

Movie over. I exhale and am glad to be going home. Finally.

In my driveway. I go to give a hug. He’s expecting a kiss.

Ok. fine. I’m home and safe. I’ll give him a courtesy peck.

Next think I know, his cold fish-tongue is halfway down my throat.

I shove him bodily into the car with all the force my 16 year old self can muster.

“Cool it!” I say, brilliantly, then storm off into the house, pissed.



I decided that ‘ok, it’s not that bad’ would never ever be acceptable to me again.


and yeah, I may have posted this experience before, it bears repeating.

I never actually had a shitty date.
Does it count as a date when you're already officially a couple?

When I was seventeen, a guy invited me to this really expensive restaurant with all these liveried waiters, but he chose the cheapest item on the menu.
So I to be decent, I chose the same cheap item I didn't really like. And the atmosphere was just horrible and scary.

But I wouldn't call it a shitty date. He was just inexperienced and trying to impress.

Way back, in my teens, I went on a casual date thing with a young lady. Burger and a movie style set up. After the film ended and we exited the cinema, she turned to me and whispered in my ear;

"would you like to come back to mine and see my model airplanes?"

Awesome! I thought. She's riffing on the old Cad line of 'Come up and see my etchings, fnar fnar'. So naturally, I agreed.



She had Spitfires, and Lancaster Bombers and B 52's and Fokker Triplanes and Sopwith Camels and Hurricanes and Messcherschmitts.

But... but girl + geekiness = sexy!

i don't really have any shitty dating experiences...because girls won't show up for dates with me, even when they agree to them. terrible things seem to happen to prevent them from being there. ah well.

She was a booty-shakin' gopher. I was an awkward bunneh foo-foo. After months of flirtation she finalleh went out to the golf course with me, and this idiot shoved a garden hose down the gopher hole and flooded everehthing out and she drowdeded.

not a date exactly, but when I was in high school we had a roller skating rink that did skating until 9pm and then it became a dance thing, on Fridays and Saturdays, and I always did both. I was 15 or 16, utterly awkward and unattractive, and one night one of the guys from my class, football team, middling attractive, he asked me to skate with him during the slow songs/couples thingy. So I did. I skated backwards, so I wouldn't have to look at him much and didn't bother talking to him. I had seen him with his friends, earlier and I knew it was a dare. So I didn't speak to him, I pretty much ignored him and did what I always did, sang along, if it was a song I liked. Eventually he said, You'll sing to the song, but not talk to me? I said, I won your bet for you, that doesn't mean I need to actually talk to you. He had the decency to look shocked, but wasn't stupid enough to deny it. So I asked him how much he got and he said $10. I asked him if it was worth it and skated away.

Seriously? That's kind of cool.

The worst date I've ever been on was one I didn't really even get to.

I setup a time and place to meet someone I'd been talking to at work for a while. We agreed to go to a movie on my Sunday off.

He then got drunk and followed me around my workplace for eight hours.

He eventually pulled me aside to call me a prude, which is when I told him to just go home.



Then there was the Jeep tumble. That one almost killed me. Yeah, that was the worst.

Okay, so I've been on shitty dates before, and I've been stood up before. It's been a long time since I've done either, but when this girl wanted to go see TechN9ne with me, I was kind of geeked out. She is a very, very, very pretty girl who, well, I have a sort of crush on I guess, though I try to act like I don't. I was so excited and happy and all that jazz so we go and eat and she's cool. I buy dinner, no biggie. I bought the tickets, no biggie. She's all flirty and cool and I'm having so much fun.

I even open up to her a little and get comfortable which is a problem I have. I can't be comfortable with people. But when we finally get to the show I'm in a great mood, she is extremely flirty and touchy and its all going great.

We meet paul wall, she is excited. I buy her a tech shirt cuz she asked and why not, right? I buy some drinks and we're hanging out. She's dancing and we're having fun in the company with all these people. She wants another drink.

I go get it, she's dancing on some dude, I don't see her again till the end of the night when its time to go.

I'm not of the belief that people owe you anything for spending money on them. Would have been nice of her to not be manipulative and misleading. She obviously didnt want to be there with me. My feelings were terribly hurt but what could I do?

I felt stupid stupid and insecure and now I feel awkward at work because she sits next to me.

A cute girl asked me out on a date. During dinner she mentioned that I seemed like a nice guy so she told me she had AIDS. I always wondered if I had been more of a jerk if she would have told me the next morning.

That was kind of a crappy date.

Its good she told you when she did.

Eldi:
She asked you to buy her a shirt?? The nerve of some people.
That was, like, the first date or something, wasn't it? Gah, people who ask for freebies on first dates are up to no good. Also, people who expect you to finance the whole evening because you're a guy. Big warning sign that you've hooked up with a Gimme Pig. Try and avoid, if possible.

I think she was incredibly rude and if I were you I'd stop talking to her. Seriously.

It was the first date but I've known her for a while, she sits next to me at work. Its hard to not talk to her but it won't be so hard the next time she asks for something!

*really mortified now*
Girls like that give girls a bad name!

Well, with the information you have given, certainly crappy in the "someone I think I could like has just told me they have a life-limiting condition". But also - she liked and trusted you enough to give you a very sensitive piece of information about herself. That's got to count for something.

(And there's a lot of people out there dating who have no idea of what conditions they have. And at the dating stage it's a good idea to assume that almost anyone you meet could give you that information the next morning.)
