A dating disaster...

[Bubba]

Ok, so I just had to share this story.

I was on a date last night that was set up by a mutual friend. We met in a bar for a few drinks and it was a very pleasant atmosphere. She seemed very nervous but I didn't mind that and I tried to make her feel as relaxed as possible.

Things were going well up until the time she needed to go to the toilet. Her chair was tucked in tight under the table and she had a long coat over the back. I checked my phone as she made to get up... I looked up pretty sharply though when I heard a loud bang and noticed my date and her chair were nowhere to be seen. She was lying on her back on the floor in a particularly unflattering way.

Myself and a guy from another table immediately helped her up asking whether she was OK. She was physically OK but very embarrassed and was in the toilet for close to 15 minutes. When she came back she seemed fine and I told her not to worry... she just kept saying how stupid she felt.

I bought her another couple of drinks and she seemed to calm down and things were just getting comfortable again. She once again excused herself to the go to the toilet and I jokingly said "Be careful, this time!"

It seemed to happen in slow motion as her chair snagged on her coat, she stiffened... and once again disappeared from sight over the edge of the table. I made to help her again but she quickly (and quite ungracefully) made it onto her own feet. I asked her if she was OK... she said yes but she had to leave. She grabbed her coat and pretty much ran out of the bar. I had to have another drink at the bar while I reflected on the evenings events...

Any of you had any dates where it was your date, as opposed to yourself, who embarrassed themselves?

No, I'm freakin' smooth.

I was on a date with this really classy chick, Russian, right? Deep green eyes, gigantic mouth. Bit two dimensional but I can live with that. We were at this restaurant downtown, and although the evening was going well, I think she was getting a bit tired as by the end of it she was losing her energy and getting a bit deflated. She still seemed to be enjoying it though so whatever. The odd thing was that people keep looking at our table with these looks on their faces, and I'm wondering what is going on. Turns out she got a puncture.

When I was dating a high school girlfriend, I went to her house to pick her up for our first date. I walked inside, and her dad yelled up stairs that I had arrived.

She was so excited that she tripped, fell, and rolled unceremoniously down the entire flight of stairs, coming to a stop at my feet. I of course helped her up, and she was physically okay.

She managed to do this the next two times I came to pick her up for a date. That probably should have warned me.

No, noone wants to go on dates with me

I once met up with a girl through an online dating service. She seems pretty nice until I noticed that her teeth were either dark yellow or black. I quickly made an excuse to leave and offered to walk her out. We get outside and her mom and a bunch of her siblings/cousins are in a minivan. Her mom is clutching prayer beads shaking, presumable nervous about her mid 20s daughter daring to go on a date.

The girl still texted me that she had a great time and asked to hang out again.

Nope.

This could very well be the same girl... small world!

No, but I had it stored in my phone for the longest time so I knew to avoid calls or texts if they happened. For the record this happened four years ago or so.

I seldom went on dates, but I never smurfed up anything. Every single girl that I wanted, I got.

Did you sing this song for her?

[Quindiana Jones]

Aww, I feel really bad for Bubba's date.

[Slothy]

Aww, I feel really bad for Bubba's date.

His sexiness probably left her too flustered to remember the proper operational procedures for the chair.

[Bubba]

Aww, I feel really bad for Bubba's date.

I felt bad too.

I sent her a text today telling her not to feel too embarrassed and that it didn't matter...

..and that I wouldn't have asked her out again anyway due to her appalling physical appearance.

EDIT: I'm obvioulsy joking, she was lovely and I did text her today to see if she wanted to try again. She hasn't replied yet though...

I ate pizza on this date and let's just say it didn't set well with me. So we drove around a bit afterwards to talk some, except I was hurting so bad, I couldn't find any strength to talk and was too focused on my "issue." Finally, he got so bored he dropped me off and I went home and took care of my problem. It was excruciating holding it. He was nice and asked me on a second date but we never went out because I probably bored him to death the first time.

I feel sorry for the girl Bubba was with, I mean, probably wasn't her day.
