Some Dates From...Well, You Know Where

It’s been said that a girl or woman may have to kiss many a frog before she lands what she might consider to be her Prince Charming. So when such a person is ready to go in search of Mr. Right, she might encounter quite a few dates along the way that make this quest a more difficult one than she ever anticipated.
So bad dates or not, the search continues. It is when one finds that right person is the time she may also look back at some of the memorable dates she has had. In addition, some of those dating encounters could be labeled as being from that unheavenly place. You know the one. Below, are just a few of those dates that are difficult to erase from one’s memory.
On the way to the movies on that first official date, the guy in the driver’s seat mentioned something about this being his first date. I did not ask anything in reference to his comment, but found it difficult to believe I was the first date this person had ever had.
Then he complained so much about money or the lack of it, that by the time we did arrive at the cinema, I felt compelled to order the small drink and popcorn, which I ended up doing anyway since the guy insisted this was his treat. The dating process with this person did not last too long after that.
On to another dating experience. A guy I met through a friend calls unexpectedly and says he has tickets to some wrestling match. I do not like wrestling, but not wishing to reject this person the first time around, I said yes. During the course of the evening he asked if I was bored and I also found out how incompatible we really were. That did not last too long either.
Went out with a guy who could not separate himself from his cell phone for a second. On the way to the date, people kept calling him. On the way back from the date, same thing.
It’s like the people who were calling him wanted a detailed summary of where we had gone and what we had done. Needless to say, we did not get to know each other and I did not want another annoying date with his cell phone.
A friend went on a date with a guy who said he forgot his wallet at home. He mentioned this after both parties had consumed their dinner, by the way. Luckily my friend had enough money to cover the restaurant bill. Unfortunately, that date ended right there and then. For, the friend called and asked her mother to pick her up.
I am sure some of you have similar or worse incidents happen to you when out on those social outings with those individuals you just met and would like to know better. I choose my prospective dates carefully from now on in attempts at avoiding anymore undesireable dating experiences.
Even with all the internet dating organisations out there that are intended to make finding that special person easier, sometimes finding that special some one is not always as simple as it seems. The worse part? The above mentioned dates did not survive long enough to reach the first kiss stage.
