Worst date EVER

Worst date EVER

By VANESSA E CHAMBERS 

Have you ever been on a date that you wished would either end abruptly or wish never happened?

What has been your worst dating experience?

Kimberly:

I met this guy online and we exchanged numbers. He seemed like a nice guy over the phone, so I agreed to go on a date with him. I didn’t want him to know where I lived so I met him at the place we had agreed to have dinner. When I met him he was nothing like his picture. It was him, but he was looking like a before picture compared to the nice pictures of him that he had shared with me. He was fully bearded and his hair was all matted, his clothes looked like he got dressed in the dark, he was just a mess. He tried to hug me upon my arrival but I just quickly sat down. I watched him eat and everything he ate fell on his beard. At one point I lost my appetite, I didn’t even want to look at him. I couldn’t make it to the end of the date. I told him I had to leave, he said OK, and that was the last time I spoke to him. He sent me a text the next day asking if I was OK, but I didn’t respond.

Kenneth:

A friend of mine had introduced me to a young lady who had piqued my interest. We spoke on the phone and on IMO a lot, even though we both lived in Portmore. I like to take thing slowly when it comes to meeting new people. I invited her to an oldies session that was in Kingston, and she asked me if it was OK if she invited one of her friends. I said yes, thinking that she might be more comfortable having someone she knew around. I went to pick her up and waited nearly an hour for her to get ready. I have never, in all my years of dating, waited an hour for anyone. Then when she came in the car she told me that we were going to have to go and pick up her friend. When we got to her friend’s house she took out her flat iron and ran into the house. I waited for another hour, only to see the girl I was taking out with two other girls, in total three. She came in the car and they introduced themselves, then she said, ‘I hope you don’t mind, but my friend’s sister wanted to come along’. I just smiled. We were now two hours late. I had to pay for them all, buy food and drinks for them, watch them dance with each other, and when I wanted to go home they said they weren’t ready. I was already upset, but watching them come to me to buy drink after drink made me feel used, so I told my date I was ready. She said I could go if I wanted to because her friend’s boyfriend was coming to the oldies session so she would get a drive from him to go home. I just walked off and blocked her from calling me once I got in my car.
