ANTI-VALENTINE'S DAY CONTEST - Gretchen's College Disaster
My worst date ever was a college date. The guy came by my dorm to
pick me up. It was pretty good conversation the whole way to the
restaurant.
We got to the restaurant and sat down at our table and ordered. Nice
meal, a few drinks, nothing horrid. Then the proverbial shit hit the
fan. During the dessert course, he started grilling me on my
religious beliefs and political ideals. I have no idea how this topic
was broached. I told him what I believed and he began to try to
debunk my beliefs by calling me "ignorant" and "uninformed".
After about an hour of defending my viewpoint, he then told me to
"just shut up and have another piece of pie." I am a pretty curvy
girl so he was implying that I should just do what I do best and stuff
my face. Asshat.
I placed my napkin on the seat, grabbed my purse, and promptly walked
to the pay phone (this was before everyone had cell phones) and called
my friend to come pick me up. I walked back to the table, paid for my
meal, then walked outside to wait for my ride. The whole time he was
trying to explain how he was "just joking" and how he couldn't believe
I "couldn't take a joke."
He actually had the nerve to ask me out again. As far as bad dates
go, I am sure there are worse. For me, this was a wake up to never,
under any circumstances, date someone who my friend's boyfriend thinks
is "just awesome, dude."
