Wow!!

The first place that my husband bought me food was Hardees (but it wasn’t a “date”); We’ve been married for 18 years.

::blink, blink::

uh… i once dated a guy who dumped me to date a single mom, purposely so he could “see if he was paternal”

when i was fifteen, i went on a date with a seventeen year old boy who picked me up in a porsche and took me to hard rock cafe. yes, i was impressed.

once, some friends and i wanted to go to the winter formal. we all decided to up and ask guys and go as a group. my date was the only one who said ‘yes’! i had no interest in dating him - but by then it was too late to get out of it. i was looking fab in an amazing black dress - and he was totally underdressed. i had to somehow maneuver myself into the cab of his giganto truck without totally ripping my dress.

and at dinner? (Pizza) he made racist comments while watching the olympics on the tv.

sucked.

I once had a young man invite me to join him and some others to a sporting event. (Technically a date?) I didn’t like the way he treated me when I showed up, so I took his brother up on his offer to go to the movies instead. He treated me very nicely - and I ended up marrying him.

One of my former boyfriends covers the Mets for the New York Post. I’ve been stalking his blog.

My junior prom date died at 20. Someone drove their car into a lake and he was passed out in the back seat.

My senior prom date is a cardiologist at KU Med.

On many occassions I had to help my boyfriend and his brother move irrigation pipe across an alfalfa field by hand before I could go out on a date.

And I know. None of those were blind dates.

I was cc’d on my then-boyfriend’s mass email announcing his elopement. With someone else. I thought he was out of town visiting his parents.

I once dated a boy who kept a stash of marajuana under his car seat, unbeknownst to me. He was the preacher’s son. Not for me.

I once dated a boy who took me back to his parents house, and tried to make out with me while the song “I’m too Sexy” by Right Said Fred played in the background…in SPANISH. Um no thanks.

I once dated a boy who passed gas inside his car on our first date. He kept waving his hand back and forth saying “who hoo!” I married him.

I’ve never been on a blind date. Now, I’m glad.

What did you dad name his boat? Enquiring minds want to know.

i once went on a blind date with a guy and married him. not immediately, but still.

what did your dad name his boat?

I once went out with a guy who walked around my house before the date telling me there was no way to keep him out if he wanted to break in. It was the last time we saw each other romanticly. I still had to go to class with him. Creepy.

I also went on a ‘date’ with a guy to Hardees. It was the best date I’ve ever had.

I dated a police officer for 6 months while I was in high school…. I had told him I was 18 and senior. I wasn’t. I was 16 and a sophmore.

LOL… the last guy you dated didn’t have the newsclippings from his HS football days in his wallet and show them to you did he??? If so… if was my BIL… who is now 37… and STILL has the clippings in his wallet… pudtz

Bravo! That level of honesty could only be surpassed by the guys who planned (or didn’t plan) these horrible blind dates to admit their failures themselves. Nothing funny about running out of gas or debating over a boats name for hours. Here is to you, Robot, for honesty and great painful memories of the losers in life. clink.

i “dated” two different guys in college who tried (unsuccessfully) to get in may pants by playing boston’s “feels like makin’ love”.

i went to grad school w/a girl who’s blind date took her to HOOTERS.

i’ve never been on a blind date. but i’d still like to know what your dad named his boat…?!

I have a friend who once had a date take her to long john silvers.
and made her pay.
I have a stalker. we will not be going on any dates.

I went on a date with a guy who asked me how I liked the restaurant we ate at, it was to snooty and pretentious, and I told him, his parents owned the place.

And do I ever know about the snap pants, one guy showed up wearing the track pants the snap all the way down the sides! I hope he wan’t planning on having to use that feature.

I once went on a blind date because my roommate had a crush on a guy but didn’t feel comfortable going out with him alone. My date was his roommate. A guy who wouldn’t look me in the eye, was too shy to make conversation, but could sing along to his car stereo at the top of his lungs while the rest of us were trying to talk. I haven’t seen him since.

I once dated a guy that bought himself a new stero system and then gave me his old one for my 21st birthday. He got dumped the next week and didn’t get his stereo back!

that is some good reading. it’s been so long since i’ve been on a date i can’t remember any funny stories. there must be some!!!

i am laughing out loud. cannot top that, but man, this is the most hilarious thing i’ve read in a long time.

okay, guess i can contribute. I once went on a 2nd date that lasted 10 days in Nantucket (he was not the man from Nantucket) with 10 of his closest friends. I beat them all at shot-a-minute at 10 AM. Married him.

Yikes! They do make funny memories, don’t they? :)

Go on date with cute guy. Meet cute guy’s room-mate on that date. Marry cute room-mate.

I once went out on a date with a guy who called me “homely”. But he meant “homey”. English was his second language. I married him. *wink*

I once went on a blind date set up by my internist. (He was another patient). I was once convinced to go out with someone because he sent a bouquet of flowers to my work with a note “A message from above.” Unsigned, but followed by his phone number. I once thought I’d been stood up for a first date, but he finally appeared sweaty and out of breath because he got caught in traffic, left his car where it was and ran the rest of the way. My favorite quirky date though was the very sweet mechanic who picked me up in his very sweet shiny candy apple red car with flames on the side to take me to the Easter Vigil Mass at my prim and conservative church and used his cig. lighter to relight the taper for the candlelight liturgy. And I didn’t (or haven’t yet) married any of these lovable quirky guys. :-(

I once went out on a date with a guy to a great Mexican restaurant that made amazing nachos. He spent all night gawking at our local hottie weather chick who was at the next table. Did I mention the nachos were amazing. He actually called me for another date. Heh. The next night I went out with a guy who paid attention to me all night and whose kisses made my earth rotate in the other direction. I married him.

this has been lol funny!

I had a blind date with a tall, dark, handsome, funny doctor. He took me to a nice restaurant and to an art show.

He never called again.

Come to find out, I was the “dud”. Now that’s sad!

I once dated a guy who asked me to “pull his finger” when he needed to pass gas…

I went on a date with a guy who decided it would be fun to talk like Forest Gump all night. ALL NIGHT.

I had one first date where the guy pretended at the end of a deadly dull dinner that it wasn’t actually a date at all. I married him.

I once sat up all night reading wonderful & random blogs instead of getting much needed sleep. (ok- maybe more than once)

I want the next in this series to be…
“I once went on a date wearing…..” or
“I once went to the prom wearing….”

um, the boat name? c’mon, tell me.
