One Truth: My worst date ever

Literally dying…this post absolutely made my day in so many ways!! Way to survive, Anna!

What would make a grown person think its a great idea to tickle another grown person? Lol !!!! No one enjoys being tickled lol – no one!

lol awkward!! My worst first date happened when we agreed to meet at daily mass and go to lunch after. I slept all the way through lunch time daily mass (I had been working a ton and was SO tired– but how embarrassing) I called him apologizing over and over and he was so nice and still asked me to come to lunch. With untamable bed head I ran out the door and met him, and we had awkward stop and go conversation and waited an hour and a half to order because we were both reluctant to say we were hungry first haha!! I got into his truck after lunch to run an errand with him and 50 yards down the road we got into a car accident (we were both fine). He had to go straight to his house where he walked outside to take a call and at that moment his whole family and extended family walked in and I had to introduce myself as the strange girl that just got in a car accident with their son!

Hilarious. I can definitely empathize, although no one has ever tried to tickle me (?!)…I always say that I haven’t been on many good dates, but I have a *lot* of good stories. 🙂 My top three worst dates:

3. I went to coffee with a guy who was very sweet. Too sweet. I discovered that he had zero backbone when we were on the patio at Starbucks, facing a very busy street, and a cyclist was hit by a car. She ended up being OK (considering), but she screamed very loudly after she was struck and it was pretty scary. My first instinct was to get out my phone and dial 911. His first instinct was to shout “I can’t stand the sight of blood!” as he grabbed his stuff and bolted into the Starbucks. Suffice it to say, we didn’t go out again.

2. I met a guy at a party. He seemed witty and charming at the time. He asked me out via email (one of my friends gave him my email address, with my permission) and we exchanged witty banter back and forth until we went to dinner. All seemed like it was going well until the food came. He talked incessantly WITH HIS MOUTH OPEN, made incredibly awkward and eccentric jokes/remarks the entire evening, and simply put, weirded me out. Again: no second date.

1. In my brief online dating phase, I went out with a guy who seemed normal enough: he was an engineer and a bit socially awkward, but I was open to the possibility that he could surprise me. Half way into dinner, he tells me that in addition to a work deadline he has to meet, he has a freelance writing assignment due the next day. I asked him who he was writing for and he drops this bomb: his freelance employer was none other than the most popular DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS fansite. Dead serious. I am surprised I was able to keep a straight face as I asked him about how he got into that sort of thing (it began at KB Toys back in junior high) and what he actually wrote about. Oh man. The world is a strange place, that’s for sure.

I always get sucked into the “fake date” (as I like to call ’em) with guy friends with the line, “what are you up to this weekend?” Naively, I respond, “oh nothing.” Then they move in for the kill! Geez. Maybe I’m too nice, but really what makes guys think it’s ok to be so creepy!!! Sorry you got tickled 🙁

oohhh awko taco…i can’t stand being tickled and especially by a guy in a dark room with Princess Bride on….I was uncomfortable just reading that…. My worst date was Senior year of Highschool when this boy asked me to his football banquet..i didn’t want to go but dangit i’m a people pleaser so i said yes…as it got closer my awkward anxiety set in and i was wanting to back out so bad but he already bought tickets…First of all i had to pick HIM up at HIS house and take us to HIS banquet…before i picked him up i cried the whole way to his house…that’s how much i didn’t want to go!!! Then at the banquet he finished his food first then asked if he could finish mine before i was even done…It will always go down as worst date of my life!!!

Ewwwwww! Boys!!!

OMG that’s ridiculous! And my worst date wasn’t entirely terrible, but one little thing made it awful. The guy I was out with said, “So what’s it like being adopted?” I’m not adopted. At all. I never said that. So I say to him, “I’m…not adopted?” and he goes, “Oh, well I thought you were. I mean, you’re name’s pretty white.”

End scene.

OMG hahaha that is so hilarious & horrifying at the same time! Why why are most first dates just awkward?! I had too many awkward movie theater first dates where I quickly realized I absolutely didn’t want to date this person, but they sure were feelin’ it and so thus spent the next hour 1/2 – 3 hours sitting as far away from that person as humanly possible (difficult considering its a movie theater) while they continue to attempt leg touches and hand holding. Gag.

lol..oh that is bad! Super creepy on the whole tickling thing and to be tricked into it is worse! 🙁 I think dating at FUS was always a hit or miss, lol.. 🙂
PS: i linked up with the mama style post…but i don’t see my link on your blog or the others. Did i not do it right?

Oh my gosh, that is so awkward!

My most awkward date was with this one guy I met through some of my filming buddies. At first, I thought he was really cute and funny. I also thought he was older than me. Turns out he had one of those faces that could pass for a twenty something or a teenager… so, I guess he decided to use that advantage to lie to me about his age… he was quite a bit younger. I didn’t really have any intentions of “dating” him, but one day he took me out on I guess what you could call a date.

First, he took me to a cemetery! I’ll admit, I like going to cemeteries and I like Tim Burton films, whatever. But all I could think of the whole time was “what the heck is going on?!?” I don’t want to go to a cemetery with a guy… weird! He wanted to look for his grandfather’s grave… telling me his dad wouldn’t tell him where the grave was or anything about the guy. Then he took me out to eat. We ordered our food and luckily the conversation wasn’t dead, but once we got our food, he took like, two bites, while I’m woofing down on some quesadillas. He looked really anxious and kept tapping his hand or foot. I felt so uncomfortable. The waitress even looked weirded out…

After all that and finding out he lied about his age, I found out that he was a compulsive liar, and he wasn’t a good one… he told so many awful lies when all our friends would hang out and everybody started to realize it. I tried to not pay a lot of attention to him so he wouldn’t think there was anything going on… and he would have “panic attacks” if I hadn’t been paying attention to him. He ended up not hanging out with us after I dropped some pretty clear hints that nothing was going to happen. AHHHH. O_O

Oh my! Laughing/cringing…

I think our particular university was especially susceptible to such awkward dating encounters…I know many women (including myself) who had similar cringe-worthy experiences.

Tee hee Anna, this may have been bad and a little creepy, but it’s also funny 😉 My worst date ever? A date with a guy who was my first love in school. I met him again years after in Berlin, where he studied. He invited me to his apartment. He hardly talked and then suddenly kissed me. Only to tell me, 2 minutes later, that he couldn’t really see me, because he had a girfriend already. What???? God, i felt really stupid. A year later, he came by my place to make up for his behavior and get serious this time. But by than, i had met my future husband already …. Some things are just not meant to be!
