Worst Date Ever!

[meloneyb21]

The whole gun thing is weird...Hmmmmm, "maybe if I show her this she'll think I'm a bad boy and all chicks love bad boys right?"

But see with bad boys, you know from the jump that they are bad, it's the quiet "nice" guys you have to look out for.

I'm seeing a consistent theme about bad dates showing off the big guns.

I'm seeing the same trend here...and I don't know what the deal with some dudes and guns is??

I've been in law enforcement 17 years. I NEVER pulled out any of my guns in front of a date..of course, I only was dating my future wife, but still...and of course, I did live by myself, but my college buddies would come by all the time (I was a cop near where I went to school) and I wouldn't pull anything out. Oh yeah, and I WAS/AM a SWAT guy....oh yeah, and a senior firearms (pistol, rifle, submachine gun, shotgun) and tactical instructor for my agency.

I go out of the way to keep my weapons stored/secured/locked/concealed. If I'm wearing it (which is a lot, I"ll admit), it's concealed quite well. If I'm at home, it's locked in the safe or it's in a place where my 2 year old can't reach it or get to it--which by the way, are becoming fewer and far between. To my knowledge, he's never even SEEN my gun(s).

My wife knows how to safely operate each one of the weapons in my safe, and has one of her own, which stays in the safe.

Why some guys INSIST on showing EVERYONE what they "got stashed" is beyond me. Makes them feel macho I guess.

I attribute it to professionalism

Don't know but I would sense that it is the same compulsion that made you feel the need to tell us all about your guns and connections with said weapons and safeguards and times when worn and times when not worn and about your wife's guns and so on and so on and so on.

It's a power thing. Always has been always will be. Nothing wrong with it as long it is only a private obsession and not used in negative ways. I personally have never owned one and only fired them when I was in the military. Other than there I have never felt the need. Hence, any of the stories mentioned in the thread that involved some guy flashing his gun on a first date...did not involved me.

FERNDALE, Mich. -- Police say a first date went from bad to worse when a Detroit man skipped out on the restaurant bill, then stole his date's car.

Twenty-three-year-old Terrance Dejuan McCoy was bound over Thursday to face trial in Oakland County Circuit Court on a charge of unlawfully driving away the woman's car, a five-year felony. McCoy waived a preliminary exam in the case.

Police say McCoy dined with the 27-year-old Southfield woman April 24 at Buffalo Wild Wings in Ferndale.

The Daily Tribune of Royal Oak reports the woman told police McCoy said he left his wallet in her car and asked for her keys. He then sped away in the 2000 Chevrolet Impala.

Police identified McCoy using a photo he earlier sent to the woman's cell phone, as well as his phone number.

Ignorance is BLISS.
Goodness, DUMB comes to mind too!

Ya know...there are a lot of serial killers whose neighbors have said "ya woula never known, he was so quiet, never messed with anybody!"

Yea, I agree with ya hereyago.

Ive been on worst dates.

lol....my worst date :
My cousin set me up with her boyfriends brother... only after a couple minutes into the date did I realize he didn't speak English

Ya think she couldnt have told me that

I was a good sport. We went and ate, went and played miniature golf (my conversations were with her and her boyfriend obviously with the occassional nod and laugh from my date) ...The end of the evening, we went to the park. I found out he knew sign language, and ONE word. He gestured to me, then to him, and said "Kiss"..

That's when I got up and asked to be taken home

Back in the 80's I had a date take me to a SuperBowl party in a town about an hour or so from where I live. He then proceeded to line after line of coke. This was our 3rd date, and on the other 2 dates he had been perfectly nice and never exhibited any drug behavior, so I was rather surprised.

Anyhoo, since I had no intention of letting someone who was totally coked-up drive me home, I called my parents, who had always told me if I was having an issue I could call and they would come get me. The only problem was, THEY WEREN'T HOME!!!!!!!!!! This was in the days before cell phones, so no way to reach them.

So I called a cab.

The cabdriver, of course, was a bit aghast when I told him I needed to be driven to my home approxamately 1 hour away. I explained my situation. He was a gentleman who was, at the time, probably around the same age as my father, he had daughters and so on, so he told me I was a smart girl and proceeded to drive me home. We had a lovely conversation all the way home about his wife, his kids, life in general.

I get to my house, and of course, NOW my parents are hoome! There was the long explanation of why I needed $65 to pay the cab driver... a lot of money back in the 80's and he had given me a break because I was a "nice girl and used my head". My father and the cabdriver had a long conversation, with the cabdriver telling my father that he shouldn't be mad at me because I had used my head. Truthfully, my parents weren't mad...they were glad I had used my head and I will say that I don't think they ever went out again when I was on a date...they waited by the phone, just in case!

Then my date called me the next day to apologize and tell me that he hoped we'd go out again because he really thought I was "the one" for him. I told him I was quite sure I was not the one for him and that we would not be going out again. He said a few choice words about me and hung up. I never heard from him again. It was no loss.

How about this one. I was 15, my boyfriend took me to his house for a going away party. He joined the military and was about to go into basic training. Well, closer to party time he and his younger brother started getting nervous for no reason, that I knew of.
Party guests show up and then another guest was dropped off by parents. I thought she was a relative. Apparently the only people that didn't know what was going on was us two. Until we get suspicious and start talking. He started panicking at that point.
As he starts to walk away I use his full name and he takes off running into a cornfield and hides. Before he comes out the other girlfriend calls her parents to pick her up. He was my ride and I was not calling my parents to take me home. He brought me, he can man up and take me home. He did too. All the while begging and promising never to do that again.


yeah, he left for basic, got a dishonorable discharge and then started stalking me. I was able to get out of that eventually.
