My Worst Date
They say "never say never," but they also say that you learn from your mistakes. I prefer the latter because I will never, let me repeat, never go on a blind date EVER again. I was only 16 years old at the time and I had no idea what I was doing. There was no social media and the only way I would communicate with strangers was a program called ICQ. This was a way to meet random people from anywhere around the world.
B.Y.O.B.?
To be fair, my worst date started with Tinder. That should have been my first red flag. However, my sister had found her own Prince Charming through the notorious dating app, so likely, I thought I could try to find mine. The idea of finding someone and connecting with them through text and conversation sounded easier than putting myself out there in public. And, if we are being completely honest, the rejection is easier that way as well.

#MyWorstDate Went like this... Back in high school—I want to say my freshman year of high school, to be exact—I went on what I thought would have a been a fantastic date! Now at first, everything was great! I felt great, thought everything was just going perfect for me until I soon had my eyes on a certain guy, who, at the time, was considered one of the "popular" guys. Now, me being "cocky" in high school, I thought it was no problem to show everyone I could land a date with him. By the end of the week from introducing myself and just talking and hanging out during school...I LANDED THAT DATE! I felt like a million bucks & thought I was cool to be going on this date, let me tell you! To top it ALL off, he not only asked me out on a date, but it was a Valentine's Day date! So again, here I am thinking I'm extra special. Boy, who was I kidding....

This is the first time that I am putting this story into writing, and it freaks me out a little bit. The person, my co-star, if you will, will never read it, and even if he does, he can’t get ahold of me to yell about it. The reason for that is a different topic than this one; this is about the worst date that I have ever been on. Sadly, this story is 100% true. However, I have changed names to protect the not so innocent; I choose to put my life out there for consumption, they do not. Are you intrigued yet? I hope so because we are about to begin.

I wish this was a funny story. I wish it was about the time I went on a date with a boy who offered to take me to Chipotle but threw a hissy fit when I didn't offer to pay. Even though he had paid for our last three dates. Not bad, but kind of funny. I wish I could write about the time I got my first migraine on a dinner date and my eyes wouldn't stop watering up. Like for hours, they were just running and I had a huge migraine. It was awful, but quite hilarious. My worst date story takes the cake over these chumps.

So I was 12—already some of you are disqualifying this story as being anything close to a real date—and we were both in a production of Fiddler on the Roof (technically Fiddler on the Roof Jr. with some of the scenes written back in illegally). We would hang out a lot backstage in big groups, but never alone.

What does a girl do when she can't find a date for Valentine's Day? Well she searches around on social media to find any guy that's the hottest, sexiest, and smartest date anybody could ask for. Why this girl needed a date so badly was because she was going on a group date with her friends and they all had hot dates but her. The girl had to think fast, Valentine's Day was only four weeks away! She needed a guy who was crazy over her...but one day on Instagram she saw it... she saw the guy she had only dreamt about, a guy that would make all of her friends jealous, and make everyone want to be her. The guy was picture perfect, so she sent him a message saying, "Hey I know you don't know me but I was wondering if you would like to go out some time? Possibly for a drink, I'll buy...nobody can resist a free drink ;)" And a couple minutes later he replied, "Why sure I don't mind going out with a gorgeous girl like you ;) Just tell me when and where." The girl had her guy at the tips of her fingers so she replied with a trendy bar tomorrow at 6PM.

***This piece is dedicated to all the ladies who think they aren’t good enough. Who think they deserve to be unhappy. Who think they deserve to be treated like garbage. I WAS that girl. But I lived it, I learned from it, and I finally freed myself from a garbage dump of a relationship.

It was me, my college professor and possibly the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. Definitely the most beautiful women I'd ever been on a boat with. I was wearing a purple button-down shirt, tucked into my best pair of "dad jeans," with sunglasses and a white baseball cap that flaunted the financial services company I was working for at the time.

How bad can he really be? I carefully applied my lipstick in the dim lighting of my dorm room, my outfit and hair style pre-approved by roommates and friends to be first date worthy. I stared into my reflection in the mirror and took a deep breath. Maybe this guy will be the one? Hopefully, he’s not a serial killer at the very least…

#MyWorstDate I had an outside sales position. One of the reps came in town from Canon. We made our sales calls introducing the new products. Then we stopped at the River Walk for lunch at Dick's Last Resort. Sitting across the restaurant was a really attractive guy. Blonde hair, blue eyes, and nicely dressed. We kept exchanging glances. Well it was time to leave. He hadn't approached me. I got up to proceed to walk out and he stopped me. Basic hi introductions. He was from Kansas traveling through Texas. He asked for my phone number. Asked if I'd like to grab a friend for his friend and have dinner. Gave him my phone number and told him to give me a call.

This story starts out in eighth grade. All the best middle stories do, at least in my experience. All the worst ones, too. Like this one.
