Okay y'all, we've all got our dating horror stories.  What's yours?

I'll start us out.  I looked a lot older than I was in high school so when I was 14 I got asked out by an 18 year old.  We went to see a movie and it must have been really short because it let out early.  Now, I didn't have a driver's license at this point and I'd just moved in with my dad so I really didn't know anything about the area. (That's important, not one of my side trips...)

So we get in his truck and he looks over at me and asks, "So where's a good place to hang out around here?"

My response: "Uh...I don't know.  Do you want some Bubble Tape?"

He just sort of blinks at me a few times and says, "Wow.  That was a hint."  Then he got into this really bad mood and just drove me home, despite my explanation of not knowing where anything was in town.

You know, I think he just had something against the bubbly deliciousness that was Bubble Tape!

 Mine was pretty tame. I had two bad dates. One was a guy, who on the first date went on to tell me about his three divorces. The other was when I went to date a friend. We got on so well, figured we'd give it a go. Well, it was horrible. Wet weekend, couldn't even face holding his hand.

I suppose my worst date has to be when I returned to my home town after years away and got invited out on a blind date by an old school friend and her boyfriend. She wanted me to meet her boyfriend's work mate who hadn't had a girlfriend in months and needed his confidence boosting. When I arrived at the pub in which we had agreed to meet, he turned out to be a lad I had known and dated briefly years ago. He had cheated on me blatantly so I thanked him for coming, said I owed him something, slapped his face, and walked out!

 When I was 21 I drove almost an 2 hours to meet a girl at a drive in theater where she lived.  It turned out to be a no show on her part, this was not a happy day for me at all.  I imagine it would not have been so bad if I did not have to drive home for 2 hours and think about the situation.  I was pretty heated over this one, but you live and you learn I guess.

 I think that everybody has had a bad date here and there.  Most of my bad dates, were just because my date and I really did not hit it off.  On the other hand I can talk to just about anybody so there were never any truly awkward dates that come to mind, but I am sure that I have had one or two.

I've had plenty of bad dates. If I had to pick just one the first one that comes to mind is when I met a guy for drinks after work one day. He started off the date telling me that I was overdressed for the ocassion. Gee thanks. And then all he did for the next 90 minutes was tell me about himself and how awesome he was. Whatever. Good luck finding a girl that agrees with you!

Here for your reading pleasure(or not), is the dating horror story of a friend- who have been there.

Two years ago, my friend agreed to have a dinner with a guy friend. At first, it seemed like the date was on it's way to being a success. Everything was divine until they called for the bill. It turned out the guy didn't have enough cash with him. My friend didn't have enough cash either. She ended up borrowing money from her sister who lived near the place. 

A few years ago, I was introduced to a guy whom I thought was fun and nice to be with. We set a date. He was charming the whole time and the ambiance was heavenly. But reality bit when it was time for him to take me home. Imagine my chagrin when he refused to drive me home. I mean, any woman would dream of a man who shows how much he cares. Chivalry doesn't have to be dead, you know.
