Reality can suck. But, in hindsight it's also funny.
Think you had the worst date ever? Think you were the worst date ever? Here are a few nightmare date stories contributed by your fellow FlirtySomething daters.* They are not stories presented to exercise revenge, but are a fabulous (or very unfabulous) reminder that, at times, even the best plans go awry. Or, sometimes, very awry.
(*Some are from offsite experiences, some are from onsite experiences-but ALL names have been expunged to protect the innocent, and…. the incredibly guilty.)
My most humiliating dating experience happened just last year. This attractive and seemingly intelligent guy came and knocked on my door to welcome me to the neighborhood. He was wearing jeans and a t-shirt, and he seemed completely harmless. Since we hit it off, he asked me on a date, and I agreed to go.
He showed up to my house dressed in ALL 50s attire and driving an avocado green and cucumber Ś55 Ford Custom. On the way, we listened to AM radio and talked 50's politics and chatted about the good old days, when the Rat Pack ruled the world. He wasn't even alive in the 50s, but he'd definitely done his homework. And, he was trippin'. Did I forget to mention that it WASN'T Halloween?
At dinner, I felt so awkward. I was wearing a camisole, jeans and pointy-toed shoes. He was wearing a bowling shirt, pants, and his hair was slicked-back Elvis. Unlucky for me, I'd agreed in advance to go to the Comedy Store after dinner.
He preferred to sit front and center at the club. The comedian referred to him as Elvis on several
occasions, while the standing-room-only audience laughed at my date (and me, I felt, for being with him) uproarously. I'm still blushing. |
