My friend has a family member that is about to turn 16. She is thinking of ideas of stuff to give him in a Dating/driving kit. I gave her a bunch of ideas, but one that intrigued me was to put together a bunch of people's stories of their best and worst dates and compile them into a sort of dos and don'ts of dating thing using the stories. So, here is yet another chance to participate on my blog. Please, PLEASE share your best and worst dates here as a comment. Maybe if we get some good participation here, we can do a poll to vote on who had the worst date ever-that would be fun! I will think about this for a while and add my best and worst dates on the end of this post...check back soon for it!, and in the mean time-comment with your best and worst-feel free to write as long of comments as it takes!!!
Ok-a few bad dates (I actually have more bad kissing stories than bad date stories-and no, those bad kisses generally did not happen on dates...weird, but true).
1-My first date ever was to my school's Homecoming just a few days after I turned 16-my date was like 3 or so hours late picking me up and we hardly spent any time at the dance at all.
2-"The infamous 20-minute-date" I had a guy ask me out to go to the Manti pageant (pretty extensive date fyi-like a 2 hour drive or so to get there, then you watch a big pageant and drive 2-3 hour back.) I knew I didn't want to spend that much time alone with this guy as I had already been out with him a couple times, but he assured me that it wasn't just us-it was a whole group of our friends from the U going and it was more of a group date thing. So I agreed. He picked me up that night, said he had a great surprise for me, but wouldn't tell me. As we got just about 10 minutes from my house he tried to hold my hand which if you knew me, you know that was not a big deal, so I was ok with that, but I did make sure he knew it did not mean anything. He said "really, it doesn't? Cause if you don't like that, you won't like your surprise." I was like, "um...ok, what's this surprise?" He said "Well, it actually is just going to be the 2 of us, none of our friends are coming!" I was ticked and told him to take me home, and he did.
3-Once I had a guy trick me into going out with him by telling me it was a double date with my awesome friends Kirsten and Scot (who were married by then). I was ok with that, and would have gone out with the guy anyway if he had just asked, but the funny thing about this date is that he told me that Kirsten and Scot were just running late throughout the date and kept calling them and faking calls from them through the whole night, finally saying that he thought they would not make it altogether and that we should just go to the movies (after the dinner was over) without them. We did, the date was ok until the next day when I asked Kirsten and Scot what happened last night and they had no idea what I was talking about, they had never even talked to my date and they were at a wedding reception all night.
4-Once, actually ended up being the last date I went on before I started dating my Wesley, 2 guys from high school asked me out, one I had dated a lot before his mission and one I had never been out with. I said yes to the one I had never gone out with and told the other one I wasn't feeling well and rescheduled for later in the week. I was on my date, and the first half of the night went well, then we met up with some other people for a movie and the other guy was there alone. He ended up being the only one of the "other people" we were meeting that showed up, so I ended up in an awkward movie situation with my date, and the guy I had told I was too sick to go out with. Needless to say-the other date never happened...Yeah-does that story show karma slapping me in the face or what?!
One of my funniest dates was when Spencer tried to make me and Jon Woodbury (who were really just friends-I was already dating Wes at this point) kiss by holding our heads in his hands at the dinner table and yelling "Kiss boy and girl, Kiss" over and over again.
It is hard to pick a best date as I loved dating and count many many dates as great dates! I will say that I never have had a bad date with Wes and I think it is because we were both genuinely interested in each other and we are awesomely fun people anyway! I will type at least one specific great date after I go pick up Sol at the bus stop!
