Don't think that's the worst date ever. You met up a good looking girl who thinks highly of herself and brought her family along without telling you. Maybe she wanted to see how you would react, maybe she didn't have another option, maybe she wanted you know first before things getting serious. She wants another date with you alone, sounds positive to me.Igetit! said:Sup fellas......
Yep,just like the titles says. It was bad.....bad.
It wasn't that the girl wasn't attractive.
It wasn't that I didn't like her.
It wasn't that she didn't like me.
It was...well,here's the deal......
You guys know how I've been tinkering with this whole "online dating" thing from my last thread where I talked about some of the off hand comments I put off in my profile and the messages I sent to women.
This isn't about the one chick,the one who I said was overweight and who went on and on about problems and issues in her life,it's about the other one,the one who I said sent me a message with her number AFTER I said something about how I'd look down a girl's shirt if she happen to drop something on the floor and had to bend down to pick it up.
(Yes,I said that). Maxtro,you talked about how awful your "bike ride chick" date went.....I think I got ya on this one bro.....
The date was supposed to be at 7 at the mall. I get there at like 7:04 or 05,walk around a bit,then go and sit at the food court.
I sent her a text at like 7:15 asking her where she was. She sent one back saying that she was AT HOME because of some issue that had come up,that it had been a bad day all day,and she said that she had thought that I would had called her 1st.
Now I can understand someone having a bad day,no problem there,but the "figured you'd call me 1st" comment......no.
That pissed me off. We make plans,I show up as per OUR agreement,you don't show,and it's my fault because I didn't call?
Naw,I don't roll that way. So after that,I just headed home,I didn't reply,and had no plans to. Then she sends me a text saying she's sorry,and that I could just go over to her house,and we could chill there.
I didn't want to go. I didn't want to go because I was taking her comfort level into consideration. I didn't want to go over to her place,and after being there,she suddenly realize that she had this stranger she'd met off the internet in her house having never met me in person before.
We talk for a while. She asked me about getting together later. While it is the man's role to set up and plan out the date,when she asked me about hanging out later,I PURPOSELY threw the decision making responsibilty on HER because of what she did. Then she suggests meeting at a park at around 9:15.I say ok,
so around 9:20,she sent me a text asking where I was. I just called her telling her I was at a different part of the park,and while we were speaking,I heard another voice in the background.
It was her daughter. She brought her 7 year old daughter ON THE DATE,told me she kept pestering her about where she was going,so she brought her along. Think that's bad? Ohhh.....it get's worse.
So I'm sitting there talking to this chick while her daughter's playing,then she gets a call from her mother. Her mother told her that her 5 year old son woke up,and was crying for her. So guess what she suggested.....
She asked me if I wanted to get in the car with her to go get her son. I was like,huh? She was like,"Well,I don't stay far from here. Dont worry,I'm not going to kidnap you. We'll go get him,then be right back". I was like,"Naw,I'll just stay here and wait."
Should have bolted right then while she was gone,lol.
So she goes and gets her other kid,and there you go....I'm out on a date with a chick and her two children. The 7 year old was just out playing,but the 5 year old was in his mother's lap the whole time. He whined,complained,kept asking to go home.
Trust me fellas,that uhh....well....it kinda puts a damper on the romantic mood,lol. :crackup:
There were about 10,000 awkward silences,and 9,999 of them were from ME. I mean hey,what can I say,never been out on a date with a FAMILY before,lol :crackup:
So after the thousandth time of her son asking to go home,I just told her to go ahead and take him home and that we could probably hang out another time. She just kept apologizing over and over again. So after the "date" was over,I get home,go on this dating site where I found her at,and notice there's a message in my inbox.
It's from her....apologizing again. I start replying to her message,and while I'm still typing,she sends me a text asking if I was still up. I text her back telling her to check her inbox. She then sends me a message telling me she thought I was "hot" and would love to get to know me better. She also told me that although she loves her kids,that she doesn't want to be alone forever,and that she hopes they didn't bug me.
Well they did.
Well hey,I gotta take my lumps. I broke the forum rule about dating a single mother,and bam...my worst,most awkward date ever.
She asked if I was free tomorrow. For another group date? Pul---lease. She a cute girl,a 7,DEFINATELY better looking than the other chick I met from the site.
She mentioned something about getting together without her kids and quote....."putting our hands on each other". Hmmmf....a cute girl wanting to put her hands on me.
Dammit,decisions,decisions.
Awkward silences are your fault, you were caught off guard yet have to roll with the punches.
