Dating Horror Stories: Melissa
Monday, October 12, 2009 at 8:00AMTo kick off our month of Dating Horror Stories, we have the lovely Melissa of Black, White and Lace! Thanks for being our first brave volunteer! :)
Oh God... where do I start?
I did have a really spectacularly awful date with one man. It was our first date. He peppered me with questions about my job - I'm a therapist for kids with autism - and he kept wrinkling his nose in disgust at my answers. I tried to learn about his work, and he says: well, I hate it, it's just a job. Anyways, after learning that I grew up on a farm, and then laughing at me about it, he goes back to my current work and says he couldn't do it because "it's weird and depressing." I love my job, and had mentioned that more than a few times. I think that it's uplifting and beautiful.
At that point, I made a very exaggerated yawn and looked at my BARE wrist and said it was getting late and that I should go. He then has the balls to say, "well, this is the time you tell me that you've had a good time." All I could do was stare at him.
My latest dating disaster has been alluded to in my own blog, but I haven't left a lot of details since it's still a little painful. Although my above story was funny from the beginning!

Oh, the poor lamb! The pain! The horror. She escaped unscathed though, phew.
There are a few things that have helped me have faith in the whole dating world:
1-you've got to kiss 1000 toads before you'll find your prince (this is my mother's favourite saying for me, and I swear I'm into the 900s! Well, not really, but I'm a little annoyed)
2-having a bad date like that really makes you appreciate the good ones.
I like that the guy has NO idea he's a bad date. Soo funny.
