You made this up!!! This could not all have happened to you in one evening!

"Is this your punk rock look?" I would never say that to a lady with a purse, they might have a brick or gun in it!

Stuff happens, as long as you can laugh at it?

Probably the worse date of my life? I went with a lady I was dating long ago to a party at a college frat house. I was 18-19 she was 28-29, we had been dating for awhile, she knew the people at the frat house I didn`t. One of the college boys kept making cracks about our age difference and I was really getting tired of hearing it. I asked him politely to knock it off and he copped an attitude and started running his mouth even more, so I invited him outside. I came back in after, he couldn`t, but I did embarrass the lady, although she did understand and agree. Just not my idea of a great time.

Oh, men and fist fights! I'm constantly surprised that any of you make into your thirties, especially if there is alcohol involved.

Tokin- Sorry, I missed our flight

Yes--unfortunately I have had some bad dates that I caused--i could tell from the start it was NOT going to be a good date--but instead of fixing the issue--I went on to screw it up even worse. ME and my BIG MOUTH!!

Thank the Lord! All the birds were asleep, or else one would have pooped on my head!

Gonna get busted for chatting again, and in my own thread!

When I was 18, a friend of mine set me up with his cousin. I had saved all my money and bought a 1973 Old's 98. Baby blue. Looked like the batmobile. Anyway, the young lady was kind enough to agree to go to the homecoming football game with me. When the game started and the National Anthem was played, I learned she was a Jehovah Witness and her faith did not allow them to pay respect to the flag. At the time I did not know this and when folks started standing and putting their hand across their heart-(hey this was Texas-) she just set there with her arms folded. Folks were staring at her so I ask her why she wasn't standing. She told me why and at first I didn't get it and ask her to at least stand up. She got mad, said "Let's Go!" so we left. Well we walked out, folks starring at us, me red faced with embarrassment. Got to the parking lot, which was on top of a real high incline; the main highway 500 yards to the west, a blacktop road 500 yards to the east. There's a reason I'm telling you this: Got to my batmobile, heard,"Take me home!", and commenced to vacate the premises. Well.......Got started west toward the highway down the hill and realized I had NO BRAKES!
Tried stomping the emergency brake, putting the care in neutral, NOTHING! So I got the car turned around and tried going back up the hill toward the blacktop road thinking it would slow down enough so I could get it stopped but it never slowed down. About halfway down the blacktop road I remembered where it led to. It was dark, big blue car hurtling into the darkness, girl was screaming, I was panicking,and BAMMM! Crashed into the bus barn. Of course being a young MAN with his first car, my first thought was "I wonder how bad I messed the car up." Then I heard a lot of cussing and remembered the girl. Those were the days before cell phones, so I in my blue leisure suit, and the girl, in her blue ruffled homecoming dress, (still toting her mums with the long ribbons dragging in the dirt) walked through the woods to find a phone. Found a phone, thank the Lord my dad was home,( he usually wasn't). No way in the world Dad would let me use his brand new Monte Carlo to take the girl home. Had to get Dad to take the girl home with Me in the backseat.

hi gioia. that was great! i wouldn't necessarily close the door on this relationship. you had a slapstick date, not a bad one. if your lucy imitation didn't get him in trouble at work, ( although you would have been water cooler fodder) he may not be all that upset. if you can laugh at yourself after you did all that, he may see it as a sign that you can handle stress. plus, anytime you want to self-righteous, he has a get out of jail free card. personally, i say "go for it"

after all the bad dates i've been on, (both ways) i would love to be able to tell this story about my so.

Oh no, is there any icecream left??

I'll make it up to you, sweetheart, I promiseJust leave me a little Chunky Monkey

Got that lasagna warming up in the oven.

Now I see where your heart is.

Hummmm… Lasagna? Maybe we can negotiate.

Ugh, I know what you mean! Fellow healthcare professional over here I was very proud of myself for just going home, normally I would try to "fix it"

I've seen a lot posts where people talk about their bad dates. But, tonight, I was the reason for the date going badly!

I've been seeing a man for a while and we're really trying to make a go of it. Tonight, he took me to a party at his new supervisor's house. I was just a hot mess from start to finish!

To begin with I had a bad hair day, really bad. I tried to tell myself that it wasn't that bad. But, when I got in his car the first thing he said was "Is this your punk rock look?"

We are walking up the drive to the house and he says "Oh, boy, you have a huge run in the back of your stocking?"

We get in the house and they have one of those little, poorly trained, dogs. The thing had peed on the floor. I didn't see the puddle, stepped in it, and slid across the floor. I didn't fall, but I spilled my glass of red wine down the front of my blouse and ripped my skirt.

So, there I was with bad hair, a run in my stocking, wine down my front, a ripped skirt and dog pee on my shoe, standing next to this poor man who just wanted to impress his new boss.

I said "Go get my coat, I'm calling a cab" He said "Thanks, babe"

So, have any you ever been a bad date?

Gioia
Sorry this is so long

You should have fallen and not gotten up andthen called 911.You could have owned his boss's company.

Gioia, this is the type of date I think you should have had. I was too busy teasing you last night to think, sorry.
