Awkward/Fail dates
(Anonymous) 2012-12-12 12:46 am (UTC)(link)Any fail dates f!s?
Re: Awkward/Fail dates
(Anonymous) 2012-12-12 01:21 am (UTC)(link)Needless to say I did not return his calls. But! here's why you don't go out with customers when you work retail: he came by the store a couple more times and I had to make concentrated efforts to dodge him.
Re: Awkward/Fail dates
They told me their food was free of ingredients I was intolerant too. It wasn't.
I spent forty minutes of the date simultaneously emptying my bowls, and throwing up. When we went to leave right afterwards, as I'd given my date some petty excuse for why I was gone for forty minutes, which I'm honestly amazed she stayed around for - the owner tried to charge a surcharge for not finishing my plate.
I adamantly refused, we got into a heated argument which given I'm two meters, and he was a tiny sub five foot asian guy, looked more then a little terrible on my part, and I stormed out without paying.
My date stuck around and footed the bill, despite my protests it was the principle damn it, and I could more then pay that's not the question.
I actually got a second date, which should have screamed 'abort abort abort'.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-12 04:44 am (UTC)(link)I...guess? I normally just explain, and apologize - and change the subject. So far it hasn't really impacted the dates I went on [at least, judging by the fact there was usually another date after that.]

(Anonymous) 2012-12-12 04:07 am (UTC)(link)Oh, man. I'm glad you bailed then, because that's just the point of no return, right there. I mean... damn.
The worst date I ever went on was way back when I was 11 or 12 - the problem was that I was just way too young to date. I also wasn't into the guy, but he had a crush on me and I felt bad about turning him down. (I'd never been asked out before, so I had no idea how to say no.) My parents just thought it was adorable. The whole thing was awkward and we barely spoke through the whole thing.
Re: Awkward/Fail dates
I was feeling a little self-conscious because I hadn't had a chance to do laundry, so I was in jeans (that probably could have used a wash) and one of my less-nice blouses. I countered this feeling by wearing makeup (something I don't do often).
Then he walked in with ratty torn jeans, a Hard Rock Cafe tshirt with the sleeves cut off and numerous stains, and no idea when his last shave/trim was. He spent the evening talking about the Beatles (not a fan myself), and how he got all of his tattoos on discount because the tattooist had made some tiny mistake (that he had to point out and I had to have my nose three inches from his bicep to see) and he argued them into a discount.
At the end of the date, he said he was glad to have met me, but he didn't want to lead me on. See, he's still married. They're seperated, but the divorce isn't final (mostly because the divorce hasn't started, and they're thinking of getting back together). He was just kinda hoping for a booty call to tide him over until he gets back together with his wife. And he thinks I'm nice, but there's no chemistry so he doesn't want the booty call after all.
FYI, this was also my last blind date. (And no, my sister had no clue about the wife. He was a friend of a friend, or something like that.)
