RUNNING LATE, THEN AWAY

submitted by: Kelly

I have a worst date story that happened to me about 10 months ago.  I had just gotten out of a bad relationship and was starting fresh.  A friend of my best friend’s boyfriend heard that I was single and asked me out on a Saturday night.  He called me in the afternoon on Saturday and asked if he could cook me dinner and have a nice evening at his house.  Sounded good to me.  I was supposed to bring the drinks.

As always, I am running a half hour late.  I get to his house at 7pm and I can already smell the food from outside.  As I walk across the front yard, he quickly walks out of the house, says hi, and says he has to get something out of the garage so go in and sit down. It was a very cold hello that he had given me.  I thought he was pissed that I was late.  After sitting on the couch for about 10 minutes, a girl walks in and introduces herself as “his” girlfriend.  She had pulled in front of the house right behind me and I didn’t know it.  There I was, sitting in the living room waiting for my nice romantic date by myself, wine poured, and the smell of dinner coming from the oven. Of course the ex-girlfriend is there and my date is outside somewhere.

After being there about half an hour, I just left.  I could hear screaming coming from the garage.  I ended up at the movies alone that night too embarrassed at the time to go home.
