My 3 Worst Dates

I hate online dating.

I hate blind-dates.

But reality is that, nowadays, it is hard to meet people that matches with you either way. Even more, first dates are always awkward but some are just beyond terrible.

Here's the story of my 3 worst dates ever.

#3 Jimmy

Jimmy and I met on a dating app, about six years ago, when I was still living in California. He was cute, a Christian, and nice. We met in the town by where I lived and, thought it was the middle of the summer, he thought it'd be a good idea to eat frozen yogurt while walking outside. What's worst, we had no water, and the place he wanted to walk around was a suburban area which neither of us knew anyone. After about a mile walk, hot and thirsty, we finally reached a gazebo and seat down. By then both of us knew that we were not interested in each other. More than anything, it was a very awkward date.

#2 The Kik Guy

I call him the Kik Guy because I don't remember his name and we communicated through the Kik app. I met this guy in OK Cupid, and tho I was not interested, he got me caught up in a conversation about the base I was stationed at the moment. As it turns out, he was stationed there 15 year prior to us meeting. After a few days of chatting about military stuff, he asked me to have froyo with him. Even though I did not wanted to I said yes. Well.. this guy texts me AT the time we were to meet to say he was going to be a few minutes late because he doesn't have a car, or a license for that matter, and he cannot ride his bike that fast. Once he made it there, my first thought was 'this guy looks like he's about to die of starvation'. He was skinny and seemed malnourished. We went into the store and I got my frozen yogurt, I paid for myself, and went to seat at a table. He took forever to decide what he wanted, but what is worse, this guy's mannerism shout out gay from across the room. After I finished my frozen yogurt I made up an excuse and left. I deleted the Kik app and never talked to this guy again.

#1 Terrance

I met Terrance through a mutual friend that, at her insistence, played cupid for us. I still wonder what did she really thought about me when she thought this was a good idea/match. Back when this happened I was 24 years old, Terrance was 42 years old. We texted back and forward for about two weeks before we actually went on a 'blind date'. Though I had a car, this guy wanted to pick me up, I lived on based at that moment. It was summer, so upon picking me he mentions how hot it is and ask if I'm willing to go through a car wash with him while it cools down. Well, I was already in the car and we were driving away, not much I could do. Car wash only took minutes, of course, so he complains about how hot it is, again, and suggests we go hang out at his place for a little bit. Turns out he lived by the car wash place. Once at his place, he suggests we order sushi, pick it up and go back to his place to watch a movie.

Now looking back, I wish I had the guts to say what I had to say earlier that day....

We pick up sushi and go back to his place. He told me to look in the seasonal closet, that he turned into storage, for a movie to watch. This guy had, easily, 400 DVDs in that closet, and no organizational skills. I mentioned that it was going to be hard to chose out of that mess. To which he suggests I should go back to his place another time and organize it for him (WT FLIPP!?). At that moment one movie caught my eye. The second Tomb Raider movie. I'm a Tomb Raider fan, but at that point I thought I had only seen the first movie. We start the movie and he lies down on the couch. The same couch I am sitting at. I'm a very fidgety person, but during the entire movie I did not move. He kept suggesting we should cuddle, to what I said "I'm good here, thanks". Near the end of the movie I realized I had in fact seen it before. The moment the movie ended I asked him to take me home. During the ride home I lectured him about how he simply should not put a Hispanic woman in a position she is uncomfortable with. If we want to cuddle, we would cuddle! As he was pulling over in front of my dorm he called me intimidating. Two days later he texted me to ask if I wanted to be in a relationship with him. Of course, I said no, but I suggested that if he wanted we could be friends, to what he responded "I have enough friends, duces!"....... Let me remind you this guy was 42 years old.
