Myself and Blind Date agree to meet up at a (yes, real) classy place in Canton. She seemed nice over the phone.
When we finally meet (she shows up 45 minues late) Blind Date proceeds to:
1.) Drink heavily.
2.) Talk on cell phone while we are having dinner and drinks -Twice.
3.) Arranges (without my input) to meet up with her friend at another venue -asks if I would like to come along. Gee, thanks.
4.) Bitch incessantly about the failings of "Big Government" and cites one of their "worst" examples, the U.S. Postal Service.
5.) Meet up at new venue with friend who annoyingly looks me up and down. Her outfit looked as if she had been shot by cannon through a Soviet thrift store.
Blind Date and Friend then proceed to talk to each other as if I was never there.
It does not get any better from there. But I now know of at least one woman who couldn't score at a Supermax with a fistfull of pardons.

My worst date began with him hitting his head on the door frame entering my home, and knocking himself out for a few seconds. Somewhere in the middle, we ran across some guys in full suits of armor hitting each other with wooden swords...and he got really excited because we'd stumbled upon a group of his friends. It ended with him telling me how hot my best friend was.

I made sure I never saw him again.

I met him at his house (bad I know) because it was to be a meeting ground for us to head somewhere else. Turns out he wasn't ready at all. Had to take a shower and here I am waiting in his living room as he gets ready. He comes out wet in a towel to chat and I'm thinking whatever dude speed this along. Side note, I wasn't really into him so I found it annoying and even if I was a bit conceited. Anywho, he is done getting ready, looking a bit too casual and we head out. He then says- "you're driving right?". He had no car. Went down hill from there and I cut the date short.

4. Oh yeah, BE PREPARED. Particularly if you've already messed up once.

First go around he stood me up, but I kind of had nothing better to do so I gave him a second chance. This time around he was late. When he picked me up he had no clue where to go for dinner even though I had given him about a week to decide. While on the way to dinner he had absolutely nothing to talk about. At dinner he had nothing to talk about and as he ate he kept checking his watch, checking out the waitress and tapping his fingers on the table. Finally the check comes and I make no attempt to pay it, he slowly pulls out a few crumpled bills...ONLY enough to cover his meager salad. In disbelief I pull out my credit card that I thank the most high I had on me and swipe his cash. I try to leave the waitress a note, but he's now watching and actually paying attention to me. We stop for gas and I quickly text a friend to see if I can crash with her for the night because I'm not letting him take me home. A couple of hours later after he's dropped me off on this seedy corner where my friend lives he texts to see if I was okay. I let him know I'm not interested in seeing him again and he tries to plead his case. Then threatens me and says he's going to make my life a living hell. No bueno.

5. There are some things you wait to share. Self-edit. Keep some things a mystery. It's attractive.

On a first date, even before dinner was served, he proceeded to tell me that he hadn't been on a date for a few months because he slept with the last girl he dated on the third date. Then she got pregnant, (he thought she was trying to "trap him") and he had to pay for her to get an abortion.

All of this on a first date--BEFORE dinner is even served.

You got all that?
