Memorable dates...

Hi all. Dates can be fun, they can be boring, they can be bad. Dating is just a fancy word to say "getting to really know someone". I'm sure there have been times when we've thought, "What was I thinking going out with him/her?".

Today's blog will be a short true story about one of my most memorable dates. (Memorable in the "not so good" sense). The names have been changed to protect the identity, but the story is true.


One day, Bob asked me out. He told me we were going out to a restaurant. While getting ready for my date, I thought: "Great!! We're going to the new expensive down-town place. I can't wait!". He picked me up and I wore a dark blue tee-shirt and black jeans... I wanted to be casual, yet stylish. Bob told me to keep my eyes closed as we drove. I did what he said and closed my eyes. We got to the restaurant a few minutes later and I still had my eyes covered. He then told me to open my eyes. I opened my eyes and saw the restaurant!! We pulled up to Culvers. I faked a shocked look by "seeming to" yawn. (It gets even better!!)

I asked Bob "we're eating here?" He smiled at me and said, "Yeah. You got a problem with it?"
I shook my head because what else was I going to do? I didn't want to piss him off because he was my date.

We got in line to order. After we ordered, we sat down and that's when Bob told me why we were here. "I had a coupon and the coupon expires tomorrow so that's why we're at Culvers".
You can imagine what I thought!!! "You pig and idiot!!! You take me to a restaurant because your STUPID coupon was to expire tomorrow?!?!?"

On the way home from our "date", no one spoke. (It was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop.)
We got to my house and Bob did not open my door. As I opened the car door, we said a quiet "good-bye" and no kiss.


What was YOUR most memorable date? (Can be good, bad, funny, silly, whatever)
