Worst First Date Ever?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/17/us/texas-man-sues-over-movie-texting-trnd/index.html

This story has been circulating around my office all day. Amazingly, people are pretty split over who is in the right. What say you all?

[Skitch]

Using your phone at the movies is awful and I don't blame him for what went on during the date but his behavior after makes him seem psychotic.

[Benny B]

Hoax.

[rocket surgeon]

i saw this...seriously?  lawsuit??  come on man!! people have no shame.  i guess she was trying to tell him something, like i don't like you.  ya get what ya pay for, eyn'a?

[wadesworld]

I mean, if the guy's trying to get a payday I think he'd sue for a bit more than $17.  I'm thinking it's more to get a point across...

[Skitch]

If the point is "don't ever go on a date with me" then mission accomplished buddy.

well, then he probably should have taken her to the waffle or george webbs or something.  i woulda mentioned real chili, but 1st date??

[wadesworld]

Sure.  I'd never go to a movie on a first date, but if I did I would expect the common courtesy of not pulling out your phone in the middle of a movie even if you were having a horrible time on the date, if for not for everyone else at the movie.  And I'd have to imagine the girl knew what the date was when she agreed to go on it, but maybe not.

[djvern414]

Change this to a thread about scooper's worst date ever....

[Dr. Blackheart]

Me thinks that Brandon will never have another first date--ever.

[GooooMarquette]

First date and he spends all of $17 to take her to "Guardians of the Galaxy"?

Maybe things have changed since my day, but you used to try to impress a girl on the first date.  Seems like he was trying to say "if we can survive this, we can survive anything."

[Sir Lawrence]

John Ernst Cafe 1978. Very much trying to impress my date.  Wine in a floor bucket wine stand.  She orders steak.  I order the weiner schnitzel.  Soup & salad course is finished. Out comes the main course.   She has one bite of her steak and I look at her and she turns white as a ghost, eyes roll back and she face plants into her plate like hitting the bullseye on a target.

I have no idea what the hell is happening.  I get up, put my napkin in the water glass to put on her neck and wipe off her face.  The waitress sees what is happening and rushes over.

Date now is conscious and covers her mouth with my napkin and rushes to the ladies room.  Waitress brings manager over to see if an ambulance should be called.  I still have no clue what is going on. I ask the waitress to check on her in the ladies room.  She reports back that she will be fine.  I continue to eat my meal. Date returns, tells me she has a seizure disorder, is over the top embarrassed, but explains that it's random, and always results in the need to upchuck.  She is now, believe it or not, extremely hungry.  The manager brings her a fresh steak, me another plate of veal, and comps the whole meal. Cheapest date ever.

In July it will be 36 years that Mrs. Sir Lawrence has tolerated my desire to rekindle that first date.

(Four other seizures in the 38 plus years we've been a couple and only the one on the plane to Frisco generated as much excitement).

Never really had a bad first date, however, if you're looking for a fun, stress free, and cheap date take them to the zoo.

Just make sure that they like animals and don't mind animals in captivity.

I went to a first date to the Milwaukee Zoo once and was treated to the sight of giraffes mating.  My date felt it was necessary to comment on the impressiveness of the male's boner.  It was awkward, to say the least.

Oh, and Sampson hurled a big piece of rubber hose directly at me. It slammed against the glass and scared the sh!t out of me.  He wound up dying a few days later.

[GGGG]

Senior year in high school.  Took her to the bowling alley.  She ended up leaving with her first husband.

We laughed a lot about this (with our current spouses) at our 25th reunion.  My wife is much better looking too.

So your date was named Sampson?

[jsglow]

Just to be clear. I wasn't the 'zoo date' guy.

Went on a date from a girl from bumble. I asked her what her worst tinder/bumble expierence had been... somehow she took this to mean give me a detailed and graphic story of all her sexual experiences. I'm not a jealous person or anything but I feel like that's maybe a conversation for at least a second date?

The future Mrs. TAMU and I decided to make a game of "let's talk about all the things you're not supposed to on a first date" on our first date. We hit politics, religion, sexual history, sports rivalries, family drama, everything. Ended up working out really well. But its definitely a "high risk, high reward" type situation.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Worst first date was definitely the girl I took to my sophomore homecoming dance. Huge crush on her, volleyball player. Couldn't believe she actually said yes. The whole night she seemed off, kind of distant. We were already friends so I wasn't sure what the issue was. Figured she wasn't interested in being more than friends and I, in typical high school fashion was panicking. I kept wanting to go dance but all she wanted to do was sit outside away from everybody. Eventually, she asked if we could leave the dance  over an hour early.

I was understandably bummed but took her home. Found out the following Monday that she had to be rushed to the hospital that night for an appendectomy. We ended up just staying friends afterward and joked later that I was such an awful date that I put her in the hospital. Good thing we didn't date though, she ended up becoming a domer.

Could have been worse.  At least you didn't kill Samson.

[Plaque Lives Matter!]

The movie was completely sold out and packed so we had to sit in different rows. Ah middle school.

I think Chick will get a visit from PETA today.

Did you include the blow up doll our wing bought?

[muwarrior69]

On one of my first dates she fell a sleep at the movies. You guessed it; we have been married for 44 years now.

Gotta give her props for honesty.  Better than her saying, "I've only slept with my high school sweetheart and we were both virgins" and wind up with a raging case of herpes.

[WI inferiority Complexes]

Jesus, I'm getting old.  I thought "girl from bumble" meant she grew up in the middle of nowhere.

I totaled a car on a first date.  No injuries, but airbag deployment really puts a damper on an evening.

[mu03eng]

As to the OP, dude said that the girl texting during a movie would unravel the fabric of a civil society.....he got issues, this girl should consider herself lucky this is the worst that happened.

And who takes someone to a movie, especially a comic book movie as a first date....lot of shame in that game

[mu03eng]

Worst first date:
Met a girl who worked at Sprint, had to go a couple of times to get a phone issue resolved and ended up flirting with her every time while I waited so asked her out cause she seemed fun.

Went out for drinks where she proceeded to tell me her life story that included: being part of a traveling circus until very recently, being married to the magician at 18 and divorced by 20, that she supplemented her Sprint income by posing for elvish pin-up pictures on the internet(think WWII nose art but somehow related to elves like Lord of the Rings stuff), chain smoked cigarettes, didn't own any furniture other than a mattress because it was too much hassle, that her girlfriend(literal) would really like me, and that she firmly believed her father was the second shooter on the grassy knoll.....it got weirder on the second date so we only went out a couple of more times

Never ceases to amaze me the amount of crazy a guy will put up with just to get laid. if there's even a remote possibility that they are going to get laid.

Edited to clarify my original statement.

or is it the amount of crazy a girl will invent to see how much the guy will tolerate?

Heh... me too.  Though technically, I should say she totaled my car on the first date.  '85 Renault convertible... cherry red, pristine condition, ran smoothly, but couldn't survive an ass-over-face flip.  Incidentally, neither of us were wearing seat belts, but we both walked away from the car with just a few scratches and bruises between us. 

One might think that cheating death together on a first date might be the spark for a life-long relationship, but that was the last date we had.

And who takes someone to a movie, especially a comic book movie as a first date....lot of shame in that game

Out of all of the first movie dates I've had, not one was comic book; however, one of my first dates suggested an animated movie, and that pretty much sealed our fate right there.  We still watch that same movie with our kids today.

He had to see if the mattress was nice.

[warriorchick]

And why would they do that?  Girls want guys to like them.  They aren't going to intentionally act weird. 

If we are going to take advantage of a guy, we'll just string them along so they'll spend money on us.   

[mu03eng]

Which is why I'm so flabbergasted that women let some men treat them so poorly. Women have all the power.

I know it's a generality but I also think it's true....if I woman wants to get laid, no matter the night it'll happen, if a man wants to get laid it is a 50/50 proposition at best

Once you are married long enough, those are some pretty good looking odds.

Glow, you don't have to publicly agree with me.

That reminds me of a line from a Prairie Home Companion skit:

"Scientists have discovered a new food that lowers the female sex drive----wedding cake."

Biological drives are pretty strong....

Telling a young guy not to try to get laid is like telling someone to try never to blink again.  Give it a shot.

I never had a worst first date.   Even if the chemistry wasn't there, I always went out a second time in case it was an off night for one or both of us.    Nowhere that crazy for locations for sex at MU.   Dorms or apartments.     But the dozens of casual make out sessions had some highlights.    In the lawn next to Joan of Arc.   Back steps at Gesu until shooed away by someone we disturbed.  Offices of WMUR.   Dark room for photography at the Tribune.  Empty professor's office at Johnston Hall.    The south-facing entrance to Lalumiere.  Made out with roommates the same night.   One has to leave, made out with the other.   Convinced a girl that I gave a world class back rub, got her to go back to her apartment to prove it, started to rub her back, she fell asleep, I covered her up, went back to the bar and ended up making out with someone else.   
But it was my experience at MU that to have sex, you actually had to date the person for a while.     Never was able to pick up a stranger at a bar and have sex the same night.    Which is fine.  With age, wisdom, and perspective, probably better that way.    I enjoyed all of the girls I dated at MU.    I enjoyed all the girls I made out with at MU.   It is easy (and wrong) to take shots at MU women, but the MU guys weren't exactly Tom Cruise. 

[ZiggysFryBoy]

ZFB tagged a bird one night, the next day ran in to her coming out of Gesu after going to confession.

[tower912]

[rocket surgeon]

         "the MU guys weren't exactly Tom Cruise"

   that's a compliment to all the MU guys in my book.

back in my day, very similar experiences as tower. burned some incense followed by a little tonsil hockey on the st. joan of arc benches.  MU women/girls/ladies were not whambamthankyoumams.  there was no such thing as friends with benefits.

So you never scored in college? Even a dental student from Burlington got lucky on 10S.

So you never scored in college? Even a dental student from Burlington got lucky on 10S.

1st dates?  nope.  met quite a few that i don't think many would call "dates" though   for example, i was introduced to a hygiene student before was in dental school at the mug rack.  i had to get going s i had to work in a few hours(i managed the talk of the town)and she said that she lives not far from where i did so i walked her home and next thing ya know...i leave her place, go to work and right about closing time, guess who shows up for a drink?  yup.  and i walked her home again and, yup...i don't consider either of those "dates"

    you can call me old fashioned, but 1st date rounding the bases told me all i needed to know long term and i didn't like sharing while i was "dating".  plus, ya always gotta leave 'em wanting more, ayyn'a?
