Well, I think you all will find my worst date experience an entertaining one, and so I am letting you have a chuckle on my expense…

I seem to have only had awkward first dates. There was another in which the boy started crying before we even had dinner… will share that gem for another time perhaps.

My Freshmen semester of college (before I met Gabe), I met a guy who liked to play tennis. He was pretty friendly, and since there weren’t many other guys who played, I eagerly agreed play a match. He casually mentioned afterwards that we should hang out sometime….

I saw him across campus a few times..always talking to some girl (which in retrospect should have been a hefty hint). One day he ran to catch up with me and asked if I wanted to hang out with some people in his dorm building that night. I had friends who knew him so I thought nbd…..it would be good way to meet more sophomores and juniors and escape my freshmen only boy crazy dorm wing.

I walked into the dorm and he was there in the main lobby. He introduced me to a few people and then told me we were hanging out in the social room of the guys wing. He took me into the small social room that apparently he had reserved … for just us. My thought process….oh snap. So with the lights off he turned on the movie Princess Bride (which I used to like and now loathe. I wonder why.) This wouldn’t seem to be all that bad if it was a guy you had a crush on, but nope. No attraction to him whatsoever and hence tense awkward silence on my part.

However, he must have read into the situation a slightly different since he…..wait for it…..decided to start tickling me. I was so flabbergasted that I brushed it off by laughing awkwardly. (I mean what on earth??) In a matter of seconds he went from cool to creepy. When he tried to tickle me a third time I basically slapped his hand and asked him to stop. In my naievety, never wanting to offend someone mindset, I sat through the entire movie in mortification, said a hasty goodbye, and successfully dodged him for the rest of the year.

This is the summary of the date in which I was tricked into and tickled against my will. It could have been worse right??

Okay well now its your turn friends. Worst date experience??
