I dated my ex-husband all of my college years, since I was 19. We married when I was 23. I never thought I would get to experience going on a blind date. I thought it would be exciting!
When I was finally ready to date after my divorce, an opportunity came. A young 27 yr old co-worker told me she wanted to set me up with her uncle who was a few years older than me. I said yes and she gave us each other's phone number. He called me. We had stimulating conversations and laughed and joked. It was really good. After a week, we decided to get together. We met at a local restaurant.
Long story, short. He ordered for me without asking, got finished eating before me, turned sideways and started reading the newspaper, 'DISCLAIMER, IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE AND EASILY OFFENDED STOP READING NOW AND PLEASE POST YOUR HORROR STORY BLIND DATE! EVERYONE ELSE PLEASE CONTINUE'. The most unbelievable thing was when I crossed my arms in front of me and rubbed my arms and said I was cold, he said, Well, uncross your arms and let's see if your headlights are on! It took me a minute or two to process that. When realization finally dawned, I looked at my imaginary watch and said,'Look at the time, I've got to go!". I was so appalled!
Moral of the story- Christians please go out with equally yoked Christians and never go out with friends and co-workers family members. If it doesn't work out, they feel like they have to choose!
well heres mine. some friends from church wanted me to go out with this guy so since i thought they loved me i said ok we talked on the phone and i wasnt that impressed but i told them i would go ,so he came and we went to eat and a movies and there was just nothing there so i thought well that would be the end....O no i got home told my sister about it and she said he was probably just nervous and i should give it another try, she hounded me into it so here we go again but this time i decided to make it a double date i thought at least i would have someone to really talk to so we went to a singing, and the singing was not good, and to dinner while we r at dinner a group of teenagers come in and they r doing nothing wrong just and cutting up (o i need to stop just a min and explain i live in alabama and there r still some very tacky ppl when it comes to a diff race, and he just happened to be one of those ppl). He starts making fun of 2 of the girls i have never been so angry I looked at him and said "buddy if u dont shut up when they come over here to kick ur butt i will tell them that when they r done with u to knock on the window and we will come pick up the peices". He actually laughed thought i was kidding he looked at my niece and she told him i wasnt joking that i so would do that. and i would of. Needless to say we left took him home and then he acually called me and acted like he was shocked i didnt want to date him anymore. I told my friends they didnt love me and what were they thinking, they said he had never acted like that with them. All i can say is:yay::devil:
I thought this thread was dead. Thanks for breathing some life into it! That is pretty terrible. I would have to beat my friends down. :boxing: That's a good one! Thanks for sharing.
1babygirl.... great thread going... Just been reading through with mooch-o chucklin'! :ROFL: I wish I did have a blind date experience, but honestly, never have... Oh well, maybe I'll work on going on one and let you all know!
Well this is my experience with a blind date. My first and on doctors orders my last...
It is a long time ago, when I was still single (before my marriage). As I have read in other stories on this forum, I also agreed to this date to do a favor to a friend of mine.
She had a bed&breakfast facility and there was this guest from France... and according to her, he was God�s blessing for women; a tiny bit clumsy though, but nothing to worry about.
When I was introduced to him (Romain is his name) he came walking up to me to shake hands. When he did so, he got stuck behind a wire (do not ask me how) and stumbled into my arms, making me lose my balance and we both ended up on the floor. As I went down I grabbed a curtain and the whole window-dressing came down with it.:laugh:
No harm done these things can happen!
I suggested to go walk through the park on our way to go down town, which we did. As we were walking by the lake, Romain remembered that he might have something to feed the duckies, moaning something about a left over from lunch... he searched in his pockets and came up with a small plastic bag. But the animals in that park are so used to people feeding them, that they stand around you before you have the chance to do anything. What we could not have known, was that the black swans were awfully hungry and kept jumping up to him, trying to take the food out of his hands. He was clearly not expecting that and while walking backwards to avoid the swans.... YES YES YES he went down again. I can simply not put into words how much I laughed. I could not stop. But it was not so nice of me, because the swans were picking on him while I stood there my head off.... YEAH I KNOW BUT I JUST COULD NOT HELP IT:ROFL:
Now you must know one thing about Holland, at least when I was younger, the streets were full with dog sh... and you really had to look out!
Well we arrived down town and decided to have a dinner. I suggested a nice tropical restaurant nearby and as we were walking over to there, I warned him about a piece of dog sh... which was right in front of us. Everything went ok, he passed it and we would have arrived safe and sound in the restaurant. BUT I SAW SOMETHING IN A WINDOW OF A SHOP AND STOPPED TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. Romain was already near the door of the restaurant as he noticed I was still watching that shop. Guess what. He walked back to me straight through the dog.... :rocknroll: Another hilarious moment I will never ever forget.
The dinner went fine and we really had a great time untill the bill was presented and Romain figured out that he must have lost his wallet in the park....:ROFL::ROFL::ROFL: I do not know how I have managed to stay in my chair because it simply was too much to bear. I cried a river with tears and I ended up without oxigen, my stomach hurting...well you know, the whole soup (and of course I was more than happy to pay the bill, after all, this was a true blind date)
We made it safely home (no swans and no wallet either) but Romain who had left the key of the house in his wallet, could not go into the house. So he decided to wake the landlady (my friend) up...Ever been waken up by the clumsiest but ever so tender Frenchman?
Well neither have I and I probably never will as my friend the landlady is happily married with Romain... :yay::peace::yay:
Well, I am in Brasil now so I may not be fully updated, but every now and then there are these little things that happen when Romain decides to surprise her with a breakfast on bed or doing the dishes... you know small tiny things that make life enjoyable.:rolleyes::rolleyes:
And if you guys think that I would have learned my lesson....
when I went on my first date with my husband (of course I did not know that I would marry him), he remembered he left his wallet in the car and when he went back to take it out, the whole car was gone... not so funny as Romain though.
My story's not quite as good as some, but here it is...
It wasn't really a blind date, I guess, since I went with a couple of friends. But we went out to dinner and were having a great time. The guy seemed really nice, if not exactly my "type", but he was funny, polite, and easy to talk to.
The funny part came when he told me about the time he got suspended in high school. He got mad at his female teacher because "she always gave me **** and wouldn't listen to me." So he threw a chair at her... and had to be restrained by 3 people to keep from attacking her. And apparently, after that, "she respected" him.
So I thought, wow, I'm sitting next to some violent guy who thinks women need to have chairs thrown at them so that they'll respect men. But I thought I'd give him a chance to redeem himself by asking him, "So looking back on that, what do you think of it now?" I was expecting him to say something along the lines of regretting it and realizing that that's not how he should deal with problems.
Nope. He laughed and said proudly, "Oh, I'd do it again!"
and cutting up (o i need to stop just a min and explain i live in alabama and there r still some very tacky ppl when it comes to a diff race, and he just happened to be one of those ppl). He starts making fun of 2 of the girls i have never been so angry I looked at him and said "buddy if u dont shut up when they come over here to kick ur butt i will tell them that when they r done with u to knock on the window and we will come pick up the peices". He actually laughed thought i was kidding he looked at my niece and she told him i wasnt joking that i so would do that. and i would of. Needless to say we left took him home and then he acually called me and acted like he was shocked i didnt want to date him anymore. I told my friends they didnt love me and what were they thinking, they said he had never acted like that with them. All i can say is:yay::devil:
