Dude...You Are So Lucky...
My friend Daniel and I hooked up at the theater over the weekend to catch a movie and have dinner. Since I was the first to arrive at the theater, I went ahead and bought the tickets and he offered to buy dinner. Everything was going along great until the end of dinner when he pulled out his wallet to pay the bill and he discovered that he was without his credit card or any cash. Instantly his face turned 3 shades of red and sweat began to appear on his brow as he gave me the sad puppy dog eyes. I shook my head, pulled out my wallet and said, "Dude, you are so lucky that this happened with me and not while you were on a date!" He being the nice guy that he is, came by and paid me back the next day, but it started us on this whole conversation of stupid or embarrassing things we had done on first dates.
I've only got one embarrassing story from many many years ago...but it's a painful one. This guy and I were driving home from dinner when he started telling me about his friend Esteban. "Yeah, Esteban's a cool dude..he's from Mexico..." Me being the nervous moron that I was said, "Oh he's from Mexico? I love Mexican food...." The moment the words came out of my mouth I wanted to grab them and shove them back in. I was completely mortified...especially with the uncomfortable silence that followed. I know he was thinking that I was a complete idiot. That was the longest ride home ever...and no, we never went out again but it's ok, he turned out to be a prick anyway.

Ah- That's not so terribly bad Linny! I'm sure it could have been worse... At least you were saved from a relationship with a prick
lmao . . .
Sorry girl, but that was funny. I have totally said something like that before.
Once I even lied about something to a guy. I knew it wasn't true but I was so nervous and I wanted to make a good impression.
He found out.
I looked stupid.
*shrug* - what are you gonna do?
A nice guy would have said yeah me too! and moved on from there. The fact is you simply stated two truisms. He is from Mexico... Fact! and you love Mexican food...Fact. Mabe they were badly timed but still true.
** Me being the nervous moron that I was said, "Oh he's from Mexico? I love Mexican food...
ok call me a worse (or better)moron :) but I dun see anything so bad abt saying that...??
Keshi.
lol... OK., so there are better ways to work your food preferences in. Perhaps you were hungry at the time?
Oh yes. We have all been there. You are SO brave to share!!!!! ;)
Brave commment, just don't laugh too bad. I'm guessing by husband must have really liked me when we we dated. He tells everyone about it to embarrass me. When we went on our first date, we had a great date and went to Denny's afterwards. I got some food that gave me really bad gas and so after leaving getting into the car and I got in and suddenly the gas hit and I let out this huge fart and it was horrible. I rolled down my window as emarassed as hell and he didn't say a thing. I was sure that he was going to and he didn't until we were married about two months and he couldn't help himself and told me he thought it was hillarious. I was mortified thinking I would never see him again and he thought it was funny. I lucked out on that one. But he still makes fun of it to me today.
I have said so many more dumb things than that! LOL
LOL Your stories are priceless, Linny... they always bring a smile. :)
:-) You could have said a dozen things so much worse than that! Great story though!
I say dumb shit like that all the time...
tee-hee
so does that mean that you ghuys were out on a date then?
got to be nosey
as for the first date nightmare... i had one girlfriend start choking (on a tomato) during our first dinner together...that was weird
That sounds like you had a date Linny. Or are you just "friends with benefits"?
Phil...it was neither. I don't like Daniel in that way...he is STRICTLY a friend.
lol..that is damn funny
but i have done that myself a time or three! lol
daniel was very luckey that it was you not a girl he was on a date with...
LOL - that's hilarious. "He's from Mexico? I love Mexican food. You know, just fyi..."
All though, it could have been so much worse :)
ha! nice linny. mexican food. LOL! we've all said something stupid :) In h.s. I had this HUGE station Wagon. It was a 1977 buick estate station wagon. gold w/ wood panneling. A real beauty. I didn't have any $$ in high school, so when it started braking down, I couldn't afford to fix it. The transmission was starting to go, so I didn't have reverse any more. I had a date, where I drove, and his first impression developed when he helped me push the beast out of a parking stop. On the way home, I blew out a tire. I didn't have a spare. But I had triple A, and he had a cell phone. The tow truck came, and I couldn't find my card. He had to pay for it. Oh, and while we were sitting on the side of the highway, we watched a car catch on fire. That was a pretty embarrasing date!!! He came by the next day, and I paid him back~ we ended up dating for 6 months :) Sorry for the forever long story I won't do that again!! promise :D
space* not stop :)
it isn't that terrible. You didn't pass gas or anything.
True story, my buddy picked a girl for their first date and she said as she got into the car, "Oh, you're early. I didn't even have time to brush my teeth".
Awwww...that just happened because you were nervous...people hate silence and they tend to fill it with the first thing that comes to mind... ouch ouch ouch.. I feel for you..that sounds like a totally awkward moment.
-N
That's bad.. not horrible, but bad.
lol... wow talk about insensitive.. at least the guy could of asked "what kind of Mexican food do you like?" The guy was obviously too into his story and his friend... at least you didn't make matters worse and ask to stop at a taco bell.
Well, I don't get it - I would have said the same thing, LOL!
Sometimes it's hard to hide your true feelings.
I love Mexican food, too. And I don't care who knows it. Damn it.
OH NO!!! Wouldnt it be nice if life had an "Undo" Button??? So that all those times you felt like kicking yourself in the ass, you could just "undo" it, and get the chance to start over.
Ugh. Wouldnt it be nice if live was forgiving???
That's not so bad. I had a date who didn't talk to me all evening. It was worse than bad conversation--no conversation!
How the hell could a person leave home without his credit/debit cards?
At least he paid you back. With my friends, the money would have been gone forever. I would have let them stay and wash the dishes for their supper. LOL!!
