Hey peoplez!
Just wanted to start a thread.. because i'm just EXCITED!
Its been SIX YEARS, since i've been on a date, and i'm nervous as hell!
Yet, rather excited! Yet kinda scared.
Why do you ask? It's simple, my last date/boyfriend was an assh*le.
He was abusive in pretty much everyway possible.
And, he was to take me to my senior prom, which he did.
But I ended up paying for everything, the ticket, my own flower.
My dad had to pick HIM up and drive us to the dance. :angry:
I looked like a princess, and he.. like count dracula :sick:
It got so bad, that I broke it off with him before prom even started.
I was disappointed, upset, and embarassed.
He even told me that his feet weren't made for dancing, or that he didn't believe in taking pictures. He even stalked me 3 months afterwards. :blink:

But thats all behind me now, I've met somebody new.
Well, not technically new. My friend Evan, i've known him for five years.
He's a really nice guy and not at all like my other boyfriends.
I feel all is going to go well, I can just feel it.

Ok so the purpose of this thread, was for you all to post your dating storys.
Whether good or bad, maybe even leave me some advice!

I've started now its your turn!!! ^_^

I went out on a date years and years ago with a guy that I'd met through the personal columns and his name was Barry. Yes, I was officially sad and desperate.

He called me and said that he was taking me out to dinner. Excellent, I thought, a nice sounding guy and a classy restaurant. I dressed up nicely, went all out.

Barry picked me up in a clanky old station wagon that smelled of wet dogs, the windows didn't roll up all the way, he was wearing blue jeans and a T shirt, and he STUNK. I'm sorry, but he did.

He took me to a smorgasboard restaurant, where everybody just grabbed a plate and helped themselves to everything that was on offer. I hate smorgasboard restaurants. Passionately. Still, I grabbed a small plate and piled it up with vegetarian offerings, which were limited.

When Barry got back to our table, he'd piled his plate with everything. Fried crap, not a veggie in sight. He took a look at my plate, and told me he wasn't much of a vegetable fan. Anyway, I didn't finish my entire plate, but he went back FOUR TIMES to refill his. And then he asked if I was going to finish my dessert. I said no, so he ate that too.

I have never been so relieved that a date was over as I was that night.
I don't believe in Bondi. I don't believe in rugby league. I believe in Yoko, John Lennon, the Lost Weekend and me.

I dated one person in High School. While in college we got married.

Not an exciting story, but it works for me.
With great power comes great responsibility. With great age....
What was I going to say?

Actually I think it is a very good story Reverend Dave. :)
Some people are always hoping for something better and fail to appreciate what they have.

I've never tried using the personal columns. I have considered using one of those online dating sites, but I don't want to give my credit card number and name to a dating site, because I don't want there to be a record proving that I am sad and desperate.

I hope the second date was a bit better. ;)

I know about the desperation part. ;)

My worst date ever was my one and only date in high school. It was a blind date. I was a nervous wreck. My mistake was wearing a heavy sweater. We went to the movies with another couple. He kept trying to take my hand and it was so sweaty, as it was hot in the movie theater. I also wasn't ready for hand holding. I was much too inexperienced for even hand holding. Then in the car he tried to kiss me and I thought I was going to barf.

I knew when we met that I didn't like him. We never even exchanged addresses or phone numbers. I know I never wanted to see him again and I'm sure he felt the same.

Happily, dating has gotten much better.

One and only blind date - first, I wowed him by managing to impale myself on a straw up the nose cause it was so dark in the place we met, then while on the dance floor my zipper broke on my pants, but at dinner he made me feel better by catching the tablecloth with his hand and drink and clearing the table for the waitress.

Ohhhhhh That's so funny Barb. Sounds more like a scene from Saturday Night Live. :giggle: :giggle:

I have to think hard for any funny dates, since it's been awhile. I've had lots of interesting dates when I was divorced. When I would go back to work on Mondays, my boss (older female) and the girls would be waiting for the scoop of the weekend. I don't think I had any bad dates. Thank heavens.

PEACE and love to my friends, Judy

That's hilarious, Barb. Never went out again, did you?

I only had one blind date in my life, too. I guess you'd say I prefer co-workers after I got out of school. ;)
