Blind Date Hell

[redlight]

I had a blind date today. He was an hour late!!! When he arrived, he was nice, but so boring. YACK!

 

[Pop Daddy]

where did he take you ? and why was he an hour late?

 

[BabyPiglet]

My first date ever was a blind date. I had met him once but couldn't remember him at all! Anyway, it was a disaster. We saw a horrible movie, he barely talked to me (but called me quickly afterwards to ask for another date ), and didn't even ask me for a drink or popcorn or anything.

I'm surprised I wasn't scarred forever from the dating scene!

Better luck next time!

He was an hour late because he was helping a friend move and forgot to keep track of time. We had planned something casual, so we just went for a walk and then to Bertucci's for dinner. I begged off more, with the excuse that I had to make a call.

Well since he was dull be glad he was an hour late- an hour less of him

Good thinking.

Maybe I thought less of him because he was late and had a lame excuse.

 

[Stacerita]

Ugh! Did he call to let you know he was gonna be late?

He called me when he was about half an hour late. That's when he noticed.

He would have to be out of this world good looking and have the personality to make up for it. I hate, hate late people, my biggest pet peeve.

Ooh, that's smooth. That makes ya sit up and notice, doesn't it?





My mom and dad's first date (teenagers) involved my dad standing her up. She always said she should have known...alas, he looked like James Dean so she gave him too many chances!

Lastly...I had a blind date with someone who lived in my apartment complex. He was 21 or 22 and I was 23ish (it felt like a HUGE age gap at the time), and he came to my door, sat down, looked at my bookcase and said "wow, you must be really smart" b/c I had books. We went somewhere to eat, then he wanted ice cream on top of whatever huge meal we had, then he told me about the guns he had in his trunk (he was a cop), then took me way out in the woods to show me where he grew up (but his parents didn't live there anymore so we were almost trespassing and definitely creeping out the people who DID live there as we idled at their driveway). Finally he took me back to the complex, insisted I come up to meet his roommate. His roomie was "entertaining" and we were NOT welcome, but my date was oblivious. He was also oblivious to my discomfort as he took that opportunity to clean his handguns in the living room.

I finally convinced him that I HAD TO GO, because I had an early morning class (true, though I can't remember if it was a weekend which meant it was an exercise class or if it was a weekday which meant it was an academic class), I walked to my apartment and got ready for bed. Got in bed, got comfy, closed my eyes, the phone rang. I got up out of bed, turned on a light, answered the phone, and he said, nastily, "I thought you were going to bed".



The next day I called the friend who had set us up, told her it wasn't going to work, then told all my classmates his full name and what precinct he worked for, just in case.

And the following week I was pulled over and given a ticket.

I will never know if it was a crony of his...it was a righteous ticket (let's just say I'm glad I had just left the 55 zone and was in the 65 zone or it would have been bad) but BAD timing.

However, I was glad for it to just be a ticket, after the gun stuff and strange possessiveness during the date.

So sorry, I remember those days. I did finally make one rule for myself~ Never wait an hour, if your time doesn't matter when making a first impression just think of how much it wouldn't matter in the future.

redlight, here's hoping you meet the man of your dreams on your next date. For starters, I hope he's a bit early because he just can't wait to meet you.

 

[Disney Doll]

Well, an hour late would have kind of turned me off, but I would have maybe been able to forgive it if there was some kind of chemistry, if he was truly apologetic and was otherwise a nice man.

But and hour late and dull...buh-bye.

Holy Crap!!!! Are you sure this man's name wasn't Drew Petterson....lol. That is creepy and I bet you never did a blind date again!

An hour late?!
Be still my beating heart.

 

[intheworks]

I went on my one and only blind date almost 20 years ago..then I married him lol

 

[LisaNJ25]

I had one and only one blind date.. he showed up in suspenders with piano keys on them

 

[Disney Doll]

I had one blind date. I had on a nice sweater and pants. He showed up in jeans and a leather jacket wearing a bandana...so not my type. He was pleasant enough, but wanted to take me to the local biker bar to meet his buddies...so not my scene. We went out for a casual dinner, and called it a night. He was nice enough to talk to...we were just literally from different worlds.

 

[SharpMomOfTwo]

Well... at least you got a free meal!
