First Date Disasters...

That goes beyond Hell Date. LOL. But it is not funny. Good thing the idiot wasn't the brightest star in the sky. Sending a photo of himself from his cell phone??!! How stupid can you be? I am from a generation where if a guy did not have a car, he did not get a date. It was a given that he had to have a ride. His dad's, his brother's or somebody's, if not his own. If he had left his wallet in the car, we would have gone to the car together to get it, not because I did not trust him, but because we girls were so dependent on guys that we felt we had to do everything with them. We would not sit alone in a restaurant for 2 minutes. LOL. Back in the days when I was dating, before cell phones, I kept coins (a dime or a quarter) in my shoe so I could call a cab if a date went bad. I could always have my parents pay for the cab after I got home. I usually double-dated on first dates, so there were no really bad experiences. I may not have really liked the guy, but that wasn't his fault. I only used that quarter one time, and the guy regretted his actions on that date for a long time, I'm sure. There are advantages to living in a small town where everybody knows your name and your family and his name and his family.

Wow, that's awful, I'm glad that the man had been convicted. I find first date disasters to be those that gets upset when by the 2nd date, there appears to be no relationship. I don't think anyone can jump into a relationship just by the first date. But unfortunately, I have had that kind of experience before and my date got so upset and text hurtful words. There were also 1 or 2 brave ones confessing their undesired love. I just want them to face up to reality and not fantasy. They were the ones to claim that it's a casual date, but later claiming that I was a player. Very contradictory from the casual date remarks I've been told prior. I don't know why one must assume that a relationship is up just by the first date. So this would be the utmost first date disaster to me..

Mercy, things sure get strange in dating-land! Yes, the no car, and forgetting the wallet should have set the bells off. I think though that most of us want to believe in the good and honesty of people. Thank heavens she got her car back! While I haven't had anything like that happen, I did have a date that I thought was really nice and kind. We dated a while and things were going fine, right up until I saw his temper first hand. Yeow! Over something really simple and stupid he had a real fit. So much I was scared for myself. I guess you can say I 'endured,' but only because it was a blizzard out and we were far from where I lived. (IE: no public transportation available) I played it cool till I got safely home, and when he called for another date I said no way! I don't know, maybe he was bi-polar or something, but I've never seen a person flip-flop that fast, or have such anger over something so silly. Better to be found out in the beginning of a relationship though! It was indeed the date from H-E-double-hockeysticks. Lol, I haven't dated since, and that's been a couple years ago now.
