A date that gets put in the category of "bad date" is usually due to things like wrong choice of restaurant or you just didn't click with him. I've never really had a terrible date, unlike my friend Sophie. She actually has nightmares, I've never met anyone that has dating stories quite like hers. Therefore, her stories make a perfect addition to our blog. There are so many to choose from, she literally has told me dozens, but I'm partial to the following one.
Sophie met Ted in a coffee shop and he asked her out, he was cute and seemed relatively normal, so she said yes. It was Saturday morning and they went for a hike, (I give Sophie points for that, because the last thing I'm going to do with a guy I don't know is go into the woods alone with him. That's like a Dateline story waiting to happen). Either way, Sophie made it out of the woods, and actually had a really good time. Ted was dropping her off at her condo and he asked her what she was doing later, and did she want to have dinner? Sophie said she would love to and Ted replied "Great! I'll come over around 7pm and cook for you." Sophie is really nice, too nice, here is where she should have said either a restaurant, his place or nothing at all. Its very peculiar for someone to invite themself over to their date's apartment to cook when you've never had a meal together before. Sophie, was caught off guard, she found it odd, but said it was ok.
Jump forward to 6pm, Sophie is in the shower washing her hair and she hears knocking. She ignored it because Ted isn't expected for another hour and besides that she's in an condo so he needs to be buzzed up first. But the knocking gets louder, so Sophie gets out of the shower to go see who's at her door.
Why its Ted!! Apparently someone let him in the main door (at this point I would dial 91 and have my finger waiting over the last 1), so here stood Ted with bags of groceries in hand. Dripping wet Sophie asks him why he's so early and he says he just "couldn't wait". She tells him she needs to finish showering and for him to please have a seat on the couch and wait for her. Sophie finishes her shower and can hear pots and pans banging in the other room. She walks out to see that Ted has made himself right at home and has gone through all her cupboards to get what he needed to start dinner. Sophie then went back into the bathroom and proceeded to dry her hair for 45 minutes while trying to figure out what to do. She says to his credit he was actually a very good cook. He then told Sophie that he wanted to take her Salsa dancing. The dinner had actually gone well despite the rocky start so she agreed.
Salsa dancing turned into meeting up with some of her friends at a club and because they were both drinking they took a cab back to her place, where his car was. He asked her if it would be ok if he stayed on her couch instead of cabbing home and coming back for his car in the morning (the answer is no). Sophie being too nice for her own good said ok. She made up the couch for him and then she shut her bedroom door and went to bed. Morning time comes and Sophie turns over only to discover that at some point in the night Ted migrated into her bed (this is the type of guy that makes a hair doll)! Not only that, but he then tried to make a move on her!
So that was Ted, and I wish I could say that that was the worst date Sophie ever had, but its not even close. Sophie is one of my favorite people in the whole world, she provides me with endless entertainment. I think the lesson here is that its ok to be mean, its not even being mean, its giving the guy a reality check.
