I was reading this on Essence.com and cracking up! Oonu have any worst date stories to share?
"I went on a date with a friend of my family. He showed up at my door in a limo to take me out for dinner and a scenic drive along the water. On our way to the restaurant, he noticed a friend outside a nearby White Castle and got out of the limo to say hello. The next thing I knew, the cops rolled up and he disappeared! The driver and I had a very silent ride back to my place. About three hours later, homeboy called me, but since I've accepted my call to the ministry, I cannot repeat what I said to him. Needless to say, we never spoke again."

"On one date, the guy suggested we go for dinner. When the waitress came with the bill, he gave her his credit card and then said to me, 'It probably won't work because it's expired.' He told me that he had a new card but hadn't activated it yet. Right. Mind you, I'd already told him that I had just gotten laid off and was living off of unemployment and savings. The only alternative he suggested was to go back to his job ten blocks away and ask his coworkers for some petty cash. When the waitress came back and told us his card had been declined, I was thoroughly embarrassed. I paid for the meal and made that the end of the evening—and the end of us dating."

"When I went to meet my date at the movies, I was greeted by him—and his baby mama and their six-month-old son. As he had previously told me that he was no longer involved with his child's mother, I was flabbergasted. He introduced me as his sorority sister who had recently moved to D.C. I was desperately trying to maintain my composure at this point, because I really wanted to see the movie. (It was Dreamgirls.) But he didn't even pay for my ticket, and he had the nerve to ask me to pay for his. What would make him think I would put up with this three-way dating system? After the movie, I told him I had to go to the bathroom and never returned." (dis one tek di cake [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/704555_dwl.gif[/img] )

"Back in the day, I brought a guy I'd been dating to a taping of The Cosby Show. As we were watching the show, my date excused himself to go to the rest room. Then, about every twenty minutes he would get up to go to the rest room. I asked him if he was sick or something. To my shock, he said that he had been pleasuring himself. I was mortified, but as a 20-year-old, I just rolled with it. After the taping, he and I went to his friend's apartment to find him and his roommate sitting on the sofa watching porn. That was the final straw for me. I turned around and walked out of the apartment and away from the madness."

"A blind date took me to a basketball game and bragged about his new Cadillac with the 'off-the-hook' rims the whole time. Unfortunately, on the way home, his tricked-out car got a flat tire. He called AAA, but they told him they couldn't come out for another hour and a half. Well, I just couldn't take another minute with this dude—in addition to his boasting, he was also very touchy-feely with me during the game—so I offered to change the tire myself. Yes, I got down on all fours, in my heels and my favorite pair of designer jeans, and changed his funky tire. Meanwhile, he just stood over me crying about how his rims got messed up in the process."
