@ above.....OH MY .....:shocked: I am SOO sorry. My worst date was simply funny. Nothing that bad.
So this happened a few months ago. I worked as a Museum educator doing Live animal shows for the museum patrons, and I had this one homeschool group that would come in all the time. It got to the point where I knew all the names of the 3 families that made up the group, and they would personally request me to do their shows. One week after the show, all 3 moms came up to me as I was putting away the materials and getting the reptiles ready to go back to their cages. Expecting a question about the museum, an animal, etc, I asked them if I could help them with something. They all demanded if I was single at the same time. Taken aback, I told them that I was in fact single and not dating anyone at the moment. Turns out that one of the moms had a son about my age (I think he was 22-23), and she would LOVE to set us up. (Mom setting up the date = HUGE RED FLAG). I liked the family and honestly had no good response, so I said sure.
Cut to the next week. The group shows up and guess who should be in tow? The son. I proceed to do my show for the group and figure that he'll come approach me or something....but no. So I mentally shrug my shoulders and start cleaning up. His mom literally GRABS me and drags me to meet her son, who apparently thought I was quite cute,. (Her words, not his.) She and I begin to talk while he stands there. I finally get him to talk, but my shift is over, and I was late for another engagement, so I gently hint that I'm leaving and that'll be it. He hems and haws until his mom nudges him over, at which point he asks if I would like to "trade numbers". I'm tempted to make a snarky comment about just trading phones, but I give him my number and race off for my next activity.
A week goes by with no call, and I sort of assume he didn't want to/didn't have the courage, when I finally get a call from him. I was at a party, so I don't pick up the phone and just let it go to voicemail....what I get is the WORLD'S most awkward message. It was literally 30 seconds of him breathing and him informing me who he was. He actually called back because he forgot to ask me on a date, which was the whole point. I kind of laugh and just figured he wasn't very good with girls, no big deal. We set up a lunch date for that saturday.
Saturday, he arrives at my apartment wearing the most impressive shirt I've ever seen. It's hawaiian style, home made, and it's got MASSIVE neon frogs all over it. I was momentarily blinded, but decided I liked frogs, so what the heck. He then proceeds to whip out a carton of these insanely large eggs. Confused, I asked why he had eggs. He told me they were duck eggs and he brought them for me. I figured he brought them because I fed the animals, and I had told his mom that our Monitor lizard LOVED eggs. so I said thanks, the lizard will love them. Apparently though, they were for me to eat because that's what his mom told him I would like. I'm trying REALLY hard not to laugh at this point, but I managed to make it to the car okay, until he decided to stop talking. He put me in his car and then didn't talk for the next HOUR. Not a word. Instead, he sat in silence while we ate, staring at me without blinking. The waitress was super nice to me, but it got to the point where I just burst out laughing because the whole situation was so ridiculous. I
finally got him to talk because of that, but then it was only about how he wanted to major in literature, but he didn't like classics. "If it doesn't have a dragon or swords on it, then it's no good!" was his philosophy. I'm ready to go home by this point, but it turns out he didn't have his wallet, so
I got to pay. Goody. He then stopped talking once again, and didn't say anything until we got to my door, where he commenced to kiss my hand and say that I was a dear, and call me "fair maiden". (I
think he was kidding....maybe. Maybe not.

)
I shut the door and just started LAUGHING. It was awesome. He then proceeded to call me every day for the next 3 weeks until I had to inform him that one date did not a couple make. He was very upset because he had told his family that we were dating, and they expected me to show up at his cousin's wedding at the end of the month. :frustrating: Needless to say, I began screening his calls, and no longer allow mothers to set me up on dates. Ugh.
ooo! I found the shirt fabric online....on Sassyscrubs.com. Oh yeah.
