BAD  DATE  STORIES…

As you may remember, in February’s Taco Talk I asked you to email me your worst date stories. I got hundreds of submissions and believe me when I tell you I loved reading each and every one of them.  Most of them were horrifyingly hilarious, which is of course exactly what I wanted to hear. (Most of them also took place at TGI Friday’s. Who knew?)

Anyway, since most of the stories were too long to print, I thought I’d share with you excerpts from a few of my favorites:

•   “…and then he licked the ketchup bottle.”

•   “That’s when I saw him climb out the bathroom window.

•   “I go to the bathroom before the food arrives. I come back to see a bite’s been taken out of my burger. He said that must be a fancy way they serve them.”

•   “I drove to pick her up for dinner and she greeted me at the door wearing a beautiful one-piece bathing suit.” (When did that become an option?”

•   “I met a guy at a singles event and he invited me on a date the next evening. So we go out the next night and hang out for several hours. Two nights later we ran into each other again at a group dinner and he re-introduced himself to me.”

•   “Went out with this really nice guy, second date he decided to kiss me and all his teeth fell out!” (I’m not even sure what to make of that.)

•   “He sat across from me and bit off his fingernails and spit them out in his lap.”

•   “Anyway, she decides she has to go to the restroom and assures me the dogs, who apparently only understand German, will stay put. Hilarity ensues as the dogs get up and start wandering around eating other people’s pizza.” (He got points for “hilarity ensues.”)

•   “When I told him my hands were cold, he told me I could warm them up by sticking them in his pants.  I said, ‘Thanks, I have my own pants.’ ”

•   And finally, an excerpt that perfectly sums up how I think we would all like our bad dates to end up: “He went on to be in the Barnum and Bailey circus and was in the circus until he had an affair with someone from the trapeze family.”

On that note, thanks so much for sharing these stories with me. You made my day! Now go on out and have some more bad dates. I have many more Taco Talks to write.
