I find it incredibly comforting there are people out there with worse social skills then me. You're always in a good place if you can go "Well at least I'm not that!"SaetonChapelle said:So, I work in retail, and thus I receive many customers who converse with me. I also am a young female who primarily either works with males, or older women, so when I have young customers I get a fair amount of attention (this has nothing to do with my physical appearance, merely the fact that I'm like 30 years younger then everyone I work with.) So a nice young man comes over to me and asks me out. I'm single, so I figured a nice evening would be lovely, and I agree.
I was well aware he and I had little to nothing in common. I'm a female gamer, watch animation, have a comic series, am only like 5" tall and although thin, I do not exercise. This man was easily a foot taller then me, built like a brick house, and although a smart gentleman, his interests were in cars and body building. But hey, he was sweet, and anything can happen.
He picks me up and says he needs to do some shopping. I agree to go along, and on the way he only speaks about his tons of money that he has and the expensive items he spends it on. I'm a college student living in a box-like apartment eating raman and at times rats when they venture in, money is a rather rare thing for me. As we get to the store, and about ten minutes in he states "Oh man, we need to get matching bathrobes! For, like, when you sleep over at my place!"
Err... I begged against, but he insisted and purchased one. He also stated I needed more jewelry and wanted me to replace a precious gem of mine, of which I refused. Belly rings as well, because apparently mind was old fashioned and he wanted to satisfaction of "playing with a dangling one". He also wanted to buy me new shoes, due to the current ones I own being my work shoes, and my only real pair. Something about Uggs... No idea what kind of shoe those are but they sound unpleasant.
twenty minutes into dinner he exclaims he wants to "get serious, no lies up in here bro". first date mind you. I attempted to make small talk while trying to get a hold of friends, and he insisted on bringing me to his house.
Beautiful home, but his only furniture was a couch, tv, beer pong table, and a work out bench. So as I uncomfortably watched "Office Space" on his lonely couch in the dark unfurnished room, he proceeded to place his body on my lap while his friends worked out and did manly 'dude" things, whatever that may be. (Insert manly grunting noises while doing push ups. Whatever you desire). Pretty sure one was making peach cobbler as well. Maybe with his muscles, but it was happening. Damn he was enthusiastic about stirring.
Needless to say I have been avoiding the countless texts he has sent me about dating. Although I have informed him I was not interested for various reasons he still has not gotten the hint. I suppose I deserve this for going out with a random dude.
Topic: So Escapists, make me feel better. Tell me about an interesting, awkward, entertaining date you've experienced. :3
Dude, that's the kind of story you make up never thinking it could actually happen. I mean, sorry you went through with it, but that story has really captured my imagination.Kyr Knightbane said:I have had a few.
The most notable one would have to be this girl i was dating in high school. We were pretty serious and it was getting toward the end of my senior year and she was going schizo about Prom. I asked her and she said yes. So being a working guy (Having a job at 17 working 12 hour shifts graves) I paid for everything because i had a bit of disposable income.
She shows up and asks if she and her 'friend' (a gentleman i haven't met before and knew nothing about) could use my bathroom to get ready.
Of course i say "you can, he cannot, as i don't know him"
She responds with random anger and storms into the bathroom, after trying to stealthily grope him, not realizing from that angle i missed... NOTHING. He sits on my couch and glares at me for the entire time, whipping a butterfly knife in and out, trying to intimidate while i sat in my chair, doing nothing really. (Besides texting my best friend, and requesting him to get over to my house)
She returns, 'ready' for prom. Picture this if you will:
I spent probably 200 bucks on her dress and shoes and accessories. It was a rental but i paid for the insurance and whatnot. She picked out the dress and everything and i merely paid for it.
Instead of using the hair straightener on her hair, she decided to burn holes in said dress. She had shredded the wonderfully crafted lower part til it looked like a cyberpunk fairy from a 90's cartoon show would wear.
She then rips the dress off, tells me i'm a selfish asshole, gives the random guy the sloppiest, most oddly sexual kiss right on my couch and they laugh and leave.
(I was able to return the dress and after apologizing profusely and telling the guy i'd pay full damages, he didn't charge me full price {400 extra dollars}. I managed to only have to pay an extra 100)
So yeah, my net profit for that 'date' was a ripped up dress, a trashed bathroom and a rather psychotic ex girlfriend, who i STILL, don't have any idea how i managed that one.
My buddy showed up, and we went bowling instead. He was such an awesome bro, he had a tux left over from a wedding and since i was mostly gussied up, we went bowling in tux's and ties. Probably the most fun I've had bowling ever.
The thing I find most fucked up about that story is she wanted you to convert to her religion, but she wanted to call you daddy during sex.Beffudled Sheep said:Creepy guy is creepy. Avoid him like plague, or use fire as anitbiotics to cure him
My weirdest date isn't all that weird. I met a girl at my second high school during a writing club meeting. We worked together reviewing submissions for the literary magazine, editing, censoring, destroying and accepting various stories, songs, poems, insane scramblings of the mentally disturbed, etc. and started talking. We both shared various interests and by the end of the meetin had show eachother our own poems and stories and discovered that our styles and tastes meshed well. After a few more meetings and days out chilling with a mutual friend we decided to date. On our first date we did things of mutual interest (gaming, anime, scathing critiques of ancient Greek philosophical movements) and just chilled. Things got weird right about then. She started talking about children, our future, my converting to christianity, and how when we have sex she wanted me to call her "My little bunny" as she called me Daddy....
Then she made several aggressive sexual advances towards me. If Either of us had protection and she hadn't freaked me out with the talk of babies and daddy I'd have been all for it. But I was damned weirded out at the time. Then she broke down in tears for a couple hours.
Very weird date.
