In Vino Veritas

Meangirls

My Very Worst Date was actually entirely my fault. One the day of our planned meeting, my date asked if I could come to her end of the city instead of mine. She explained that one of her friends was up for a couple of days and she wanted to spend some time with her, but still wanted to go on the date. I was happy to oblige.

We got to the bar, and she bought me a bottle of wine, which I drank far too fast. Meanwhile, a random guy appeared next to us and began talking about his battle with depression. Utterly drunk, I revealed my problems with depression too, also sharing with my date that I hadn’t come out of the closet yet (FYI I am girl).

I then missed the last train home, went back to her place with her friend, watched Mean Girls with them and quoted along, a performance which I found so hilarious being off my face as I was. The two of us  finally went into her bedroom, where I awkwardly tried to instigate sex before passing out in her bed.

I’m OK with the fact that she never called back.

I find your honesty and self-awareness (however delayed it may be) completely refreshing. Good luck on the next go ’round!

Great post! I love reading the “I was the bad date” stories too.

You’re very honest and forthright – a rare quality these days I’m afraid. Delphi said, “Know thyself” and “Nothing to excess”. The bard said, “to thy ownself be true.”

Good luck to you Ms. Submitter!

This is why I refrain from drinking until we get serious. And even then I don’t do it a lot. Good luck though, many people just think they’re perfect and anything below that is to be shunned.
