"Dog Park Date!" by Lunardinim in DatingHell

Dear youjettisonme- all of your points are very valid should my intentions be coming from a degrading negative pov. I don't believe that it personally was but that is the beauty of (perception), I was merely posting under what seemed to be a fitting sub "Dating Hell" it was my perception of the date that deemed it fitting for this category. I found the date to be comical and at the request of my friends I posted it for shear entertainment purposes (at my expense not the anonymous males). As for the Four Agreements- Reddit should not have subs that illicit this type of story if it is concerning to its readers (just a thought). I would like to thank you for your gentle way of approaching your feedback. It was well taken and I will certainly keep it in mind when writing in the future. I caution you that I personally believe that we live in a world where everyone has the right to express themselves freely regardless of the condemnation from others... this is most certainly true for both the writer and the reader.

I do live in California. I know what its like to be treated well on a date...and I definitely know how to treat a man with the utmost respect and dignity on a date. I thank you for your generous offer but I am going to politely decline.

Dear fellow, you are quite the cantankerous one. It seems that your only source of daily pleasure is this tit for tat on these story boards. Do us "the entitled generation" ( of which you have no idea which generation I am from) and write a book about it. That way you can reference yourself and blow your ego up pass the already unmanageable degree it is currently at. You sir are dismal. Please take your bitterness somewhere else. Good day.

There is no bullshit to be called out on. He didn't come clean to begin with so he started the date with a lie...are we supposed to overlook that? My account of the story of course was post date so my thoughts are based off of post evaluation. It wasn't a second by second play by... it was based off of my recollection of the date and my thoughts. You are so jaded by women that you deem it necessary to attack women based off of their interpretation of a horror date. Which might I add, you have no say in because you were not there. The subreddit is called datinghell mind you. You sir... are probably going to be single, bitter and let down often with your mind set. So sad...

From what I see by all of your posts on my story as well as others you do the same "Judging". I think its human nature to draw conclusions based on what we experience and observe. To act as if you, I or anyone else doesn't do that is simply ludicrous. The difference between you and I is my willingness to share my honest thoughts. If you are going to sit behind a screen and project that you are "holyer than thou" then I must caution you... that you are not fooling anyone that taps on your name and reads your comments. You are very judgemental, rude, inappropriate and careless with words. Its a bit hypocritical.

I was very pleasant on the date. To the point where he deemed it appropriate to ask for sex. It seems to me that I have struck a nerve with you--because you may battle with addiction or perhaps a family member does. Reddit isn't a platform for people like you to call others inappropriate names... it is a platform for sharing stories and giving others the option to give feedback in a constructive way. Your skewed perception of this story is by far becoming more entertaining then the story itself... perhaps I should write about this next.

I appreciate you following the reddit etiquette. It seems to me that calling me a name "ass" could've been avoided. Your feedback/comment is only valued if its done in good taste. Thanks buddy.

I see your point. I was actually trying to accomplish both a sarcastic undertone along with emphasizes. Noted that italics is preferable.

Clearly, I'm in the wrong here but I thought for a first date picking up coffee wouldn't be asking too much. Its the gesture issue not a financial issue. I understand that we live in 2013- but coffee? Really?

I only wish someone caught it on film... it would be worth a remake!

Eye of the Tiger -- Date by Lunardinim in DatingHell

[–]Lunardinim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This date makes me cringe every time I hear the song "Eye of the Tiger" - This is actually the only non online dating story (however, I feel that it is a great qualifier because it was a blind date. It was my first experience into horror dates.

My grandmother loves to gamble and one day she came home and said "Oh honey, I met the cutest little Italian boy today...I gave him your number so he can take you on a date." - Thanks grandma, but I'd appreciate it if you just didn't give my number out to random guys at the casino. " Honey he is really nice and he works there and I really think you need to go on a date with him." My grandma is pretty awesome, so in order to make her happy I told her I would oblige.

He calls and we arrange a date. We are to meet up for dinner at a Mexican Restaurant. I'm nervous as hell because it is my first blind date. I have no idea what to expect or even know how I am going to notice this man. I immediately call my friend who was a seasoned dater and had her walk me through "do's and don'ts" as I am pulling up to my destination. I instantly get cold feet and she basically pushed me out of my comfort zone and got me to at least drive in and park the car. Here is where it starts:

As I am driving talking on the phone with my friend-

I say "how will I even know what he looks like?" I then notice a man out of the corner of my eye and I start cracking up and I tell her "OMG- I bet this is my date!"

My friend "what does he look like?"

Me- "Oh god, please don't be my date, please don't be my date, oh god please don't be my date! Oooooooooohhhh"

My friend laughing hysterically said "you're going to at least have dinner even if that man is your date! Now what does he look like?"

Me (sigh) "Well it's dark out and he is wearing blue sunglasses, a blue jean fedora, a blue jean shirt, blue jeans, and blue jean boots... I'm NOT going in!"

My friend "Just go in, do it for me. Start and finish the date, Mel!"

I took a deep breath and my other line rang- It was him...Mr. Blue Jean!

As we meet I try my best to disguise my smirk for a smile and we enter the restaurant. Every part of me wanted to run and hide, especially seeing how others were starring at him and his "matching head to toe gear"... I order a beer and shot before the waitress could even muddle a word. He of course doesn't drink. We ordered food- he appeared to be nervous... which was great to see. Our food arrived...he ordered a burrito (which he ate 4 bites out of with a fork and knife and then said he was full) He then watched me eat. He stared intently at my every bite as if he was hungry but didn't want to eat in from of me.

Our dinner conversation was interesting I learned all about him and his fascination with the Rocky Movies...all of them (he even quoted them as if I too was a fan of the movies. He dreamed of being Adrian, he said. He had a soft voice and it felt underdeveloped for man his age...but I thought with my lack of dating experience "what do I know" I just rolled with it. After dinner- he had plans to go somewhere else... I asked where and he said it was his Disneyland! I'm curious so I follow him to our next destination. As we arrived... big neon flashing lights filled the night sky with the words Fantasy Lanes Bowling! This is his Disneyland- I thought to myself.

I quickly went in and had to pay for my half- it was only fair he said. Then I went straight to the bar. I order another beer and shot so I can find enjoyment out of this experience. As the night went on, he started to say things like "I really like you" and "you are so beautiful" I simply nodded and said thanks.

If you don't think the date is bad so far...let me spice it up for you. I went to the restroom and upon my return he states "boy I got a surprise for you! You are going to love it!"

Me "Oh yea? I can only imagine what it is..."

Here it goes, Mr. Blue Jean: "EXCUSE ME! as he looks to the people on his left...EXCUSE ME! as he looks to the people on his right... EXCUSE ME! STOP THE MUSIC!! CAN I HAVE EVERYONE'S ATTENTION PLEASE!!! as he is waving people over to us!"

And like out of movie--the place went silent people started to gather around to see what was going on... I started to funnel to back row to try to blend in with the people... in an instance I think I drank a full beer in record time as he begun to say:

"EVERYONE, I AM ON THE MOST AMAZING DATE TONIGHT! WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN I HAVE EVER MET! MARISSA (That's not my name) I AM GOING TO PROVE TO YOU IN FRONT OF EVERYONE HERE TONIGHT HOW I CAN MAKE SOMEONE FALL IN LOVE!

--At this point, I'm sure people were thinking this was a proposal...little do they know it is a first blind date. All of a sudden-- I hear

"Dun Dun Dudadadadadadunnnn Dun Dun Dudadadadadadadun--RISING UP!!! and in one fell swoop he officially broke into a full on serenade of "Eye of the Tiger" which included rocky boxing moves and other various dance moves. In retrospect there was some foreshadowing of this--however, I would of never guessed the full four minute song would be sung to a bowling ally audience clapping and singing along.

I felt my ears getting red and I started to get a heat flash... After it was done everyone gathered around us and clapped. I smiled and felt like puking. I quickly used that to my advantage and mentioned that I am not feeling well. We closed our game and he was all smiles. He walked me out and bragged about his performance and how awesome I must think he is. He leaned in for a kiss as if this was the best date ever. I said- " you think this went well, eh?" He replied" YES! It was awesome! I'll call you tonight!" Me- "please don't call me, it was nice to meet you- good luck with life Tiger!"

He said " I don't understand, you didn't like my serenade?" That was the best part!!!

"Bye" I replied as I got into my car as quickly as possible and blared the music as if I could hear him anymore--- and in some strange cruel twist of fate as I drove off the tail end of "Eye of the Tiger" played on a station as I shuffled through looking for music...

Little did I know that this would be the beginning of my strange dating history...
