Dates from hell.. (9 Viewers)

[Lili Marlene]

Hey, there's a lot of girls on this thread slagging off what appear to be pathetic guys who fancied them, and letters they sent and whatnot. Not classy. I was that guy! You know when one of the "funny" guys from the class comes over and says "will you go with my friend?", with a slight smirk on his face, and points over to some oblivious dweeb eating a Wham bar?...well, that dweeb was me. In fact, it still is.

I once went out with a girl for two weeks without actually meeting her. At the time I thought it was kind of sad but looking back, you know, it was probably one of the better relationships I've been in. Ah, Angela... what are you doing now? Do your curls still spill over your eyes like plastic springs? Does your voice still lilt like the gears of a meat grinder? Remember this star-crossed love of yours whom you ended with so unceremoniously.

why are there so many threads about how shit men are???

HATES FROM DELL

- The failure to call back.
- The vagueness of the staff.
- The messing with deliveries. 'Work address - no problem!'. Yeah right.

ah yeah, remember when you went out with someone and you knew it wouldn't last. maybe a week. maybe less. and you were prepared for this. there was a real whiff of fatalism about relationships (ha ha) when you're a teenager due to the upper capriciousness of youth. i like you, lets snog. i no longer like you. it never occurs, after being told, uh i don't like you, to say "but i can change, we can work on it. no, it was all about crawling off to write poetry and feeling sorry for yourself.

you know in retrospect part of me thinks, ah now, me and x could have lasted another weekend, maybe i could have felt some boob if i wasn't such a jerk, but if i had accepted every break up with the grim stoicism of the teenager, i may not have begged to go back and further ruin my life and diminish my dignity.....

I once went out with a girl for less than 10 minutes without ever meeting her. Not sure why she had the sudden change of heart. Must have been when she saw me.

I had my first 'bird' when I was in 6th class. My mate asked her if she'd 'go off' with me. She said 'I DON'T KNOW!'. He assured me that meant she would. So he organised the whole thing. We met in the carparks after school and put smooches on each other. Then, in the moments after smoochey-time I decided I'd be hilarious and say 'jesus! what did YOU have for lunch!?'.

We broke up that evening. It was devastating.

 

[oh shit]

ok girls, so what would constitute a good date? general pointers. c'mon. i'm desperate.

You got a snog? I would have settled for sharing a Mr Freeze with a girl back then. But then, you're attractive and sexy. Back then we had youth and vigour on our side. We figured if you stayed in a relationship too long (more than a week) your youth would be wasted. And we'd all prefer to be getting covered in shite playing football anyway, and leave the courtin' to the slip-on shoe wearing greasers.

Ok, so in the interests of fair play I in the past put dates through these particular hells:

Homophobic guy I was dating thought I was joking when I told him that the friend who's 21st we were going to was gay - made worse by the fact that we were staying at my friend's house that night. He spent the night hiding in corners and sidling along with his back to the wall.

Guy I went for a few drinks with last year who had to put up with me going on and on about philosophy because my head was full of the assignment I was working on. Needless to say I didn't hear from him again.

Sometimes I can be such an asshole!

 

[MDR]

I once went on a first date with a girl who brought three of her friends along. We were about 20 at the time. They enjoyed the movie we went to (I think it might have been braveheart or something). I was dying for it all to be over, which it was.

Those aren't dates from hell, these are:

I am probably not the best to answer this because I know my ideal date would be much different than most girls/women. I’ll give you my opinion though based on my general dating experience.

Keep it simple. Don’t take them someplace (like a fancy restaurant) where you’re going to feel uncomfortable because most likely they will too. You won’t be yourself, so what is the point?

Don’t dress any differently than you normally would. Again, it is just not you being you.

Don’t go to a movie. You can’t talk and won’t get to know one another, so what is the point?

Don’t spend too much money. I say this because I always go on a date expecting to pay my share. I really hate it when men don’t let me pay my way. It makes me feel uncomfortable and feel some what indebted, which is a big turn of in my book. After a few dates, I’m fine with treating one another on nights out but not at first.

Have a back-up plan. If something is not going well have alternatives on deck. Do some sly research and try to get an idea for what her tastes are and incorporate them in the day.

Suggest an afternoon date. This way if things don’t go well, you don’t ruin a night. On the flipside, if things go well in can lead into the night and well hell, ya never know what might happen.



My two favourite dates from the past.

Walk in the park. I showed up and he was there with his dog (I love dogs) and a disposable camera (I have a BFA in Photography). We walked around the park and then the city. We took turns using the camera, I took the odd frames and he took the even ones. When it was finished, we went to a one hour photo place to get developed. Dropped the dog home. Went back out to get bits and pieces to make dinner, which we cooked together. Then picked up the photos and looked/talked about them over a bottle of wine.

Chess at café. I met a guy at a café for lunch and he taught me how to play chess. I always wanted to learn. It was a very relaxed café (the kind that let you sit there for hours) with good music. We played chess and chatted all day. We sat there for 7 hours without realizing it. Then I went back to his place and we made dinner and watched a few movies, which we had talked about earlier and both loved. Ended up falling asleep on the couch and got up in the morning and had breakfast at another café. Three meals in one date is pretty good.


Sorry that was really long and I probably made more people sick.

courtin, eh?
"will you go with me"
"spose"

Girl 1: Will you go with Linda? She fancies you.
Girl 2: Yeah, she wants your body.
Girl 1: She wants your balls.

Boy (thinks about it): Yeah, okay.
