Dating Disasters

Posted on 07/16/08, 11:43 am

Hi I'm new to this group, and not really 100% sure that I should be dating as its only been 3 months after my split from my ex.

I have written an entry in my journal that explains what happened to me on my first dates.

I was wondering what disaster stories anybody else?

I've got a good one... I went to a mystery party where you act our roles, read a script, and try to figure out who committed the crime (like live version of Clue). My character was supposed to flirt with a female character played by a pregnant Chinese woman sitting next to her husband. Well, I was telling this funny story to a woman the night before our first date and my kids (who were supposed to be asleep) came rushing down the stairs in an uproar, convinced that I was dating a pregnant married woman who was going to be their stepmother. Ahhhh the joys of being a divorce single parent of little girls... lol (my date fortunately thought it was hilarious, especially since the kids thought I was on the phone with the pregnant lady and wanted to talk to her)

Well, I won't give advice on if you should be dating-that's your call, but, I have so many funny and scary dating stories. The scareist/funniest was a 2nd date-he was a tax accountant-so he should be normal? We went out once, had all the precautions I had a safe person, met in a public place, blah , blah. I wasn't really intrested in him, but he walked me to my car and we chatted more-and one quick hug goodbye. we continued to talk, and he asked me if he could pick me up and take me to Lava Hot Springs. Which is a long drive through a lot of nothing to sit in hot water in our swimming suits. I agreed but warned him I have a tendenacy to fall asleep on long drives. He picks me up, and we drive to Lava-seems harmless. Once we are in our suits, he keeps pulling me to him and telling me he wants to take me home and spank me with his hair brush-uh no! the first time, I was thinking he would get the message, but he persisted. Then it dawns on me, I am out of cell phone range, have to drive back through some pretty bleak country with this guy. As we are driving back-he makes the comment that he thougth I would be asleep by now-lol, no way was that going to happen. I made it home, got inside quick, and was thankful that my bottom was not bruised from the experience.

Alone in Utah,

Yikes! That's a funny story but it could have turned into a not so funny experience. I'm glad you survived it.
