First Date Faux Pas

[Deleted member 3289]

There's a piece in the paper today about "how to sink a first date" that made me squirm -not only have I done most of them, I've done worse. Arrive late, talk about exes, be lukewarm, fail to realise they fancy you (or even you, them)...

What has made for a worst, first date (or social) for you...?!

Well, it wasn't a date, as such, but a gorgeous young barmaid in the pub I used to work asked me back to her place for a few glasses of wine. I purchased a nice bottle of red (not even the house wine, classy guy me ) and, to the envy of all the guys in the bar, we retired to her flat. She put on her Jacksons CD and I poured the wine while admiring her white carpet. I know what you're all thinking at this point; he spills the wine. If only .
I'd already sunk a few beers beforehand and hadn't had anything to eat all day... yes, I ended up projectile-vomiting all over the pristine shag pile

Still woke up next to her in the morning though

Ouch!
But you won in the end.. still..

okay while it's a bit of a dating thing going on.. One mistake I made, and yes this is a whopper. Eating in a restaurant I was already sozzled. I mean well oiled.. I started nodding off at the table. When I realised what I was doing, I made a cigarette (back then smoking was still allowed) but I made it or tried to make it, using a £10 note.
I was mortified when I realised what I was doing.

Normally not knowing what to say and me being me I'm normally over dressed for what ever the date was, why did I think waist coat and tie was a good idea for a coffee date.

Can't say I've ever been on a proper date and my socials tend to be in clubs. Had nothing out the norm really.

You guys are making me feel not so bad about my dating disasters. I let my mouth run away with me and engage in bouts of honesty...

I told a really hot date that my new litmus test was that I wouldn't date anyone who wasn't in to the comedian Tim Minchen -don't know why as had only seen him for first time the night before. Text next morning told me she'd watched his videos and decided she wasn't in to either of us.

Not a first date, but after three dates with a woman on fire who had declared she wanted a man for her bed that winter, I sent a text to say she needed to get over the crush on her divorce lawyer, she got over me in stead!

Of course could be that I'd just offered them get out of jail cards....no, never!
