Only Sixteen
When I was 16, I was set up on a blind date by our mutual friends. Upon meeting him, we hit it off and scheduled a movie and dinner date. The movie was fine, as was most of dinner, until the bill came. Though he insisted on paying all of the bill, he tipped nothing. Though I was understandably inexperienced in the dating world, I’d had enough experience with dining out to know that it was completely unacceptable to not tip at all. However, being timid and inexperienced with dating, I let it slide.
While waiting for our buses, he put his arms around me, and began kissing my face. At first they were nice, soft kisses around my cheeks, but then he went for my mouth. I was prepared for a mouth kiss, even open mouth, but I was definitely not prepared for what he did next. He started darting his tongue at my mouth, trying to get inside. At first I laughed, because surely, he was joking! I became visibly embarrassed and tried to push him away.
Then he began rubbing his crotch on my torso (due to the height difference), and then to my (further) horror, did what can only be described as a body wave while still hugging me. Then, he looked longingly at me and said, “I love you.” Alarms were going off in my head and I grasped for words when I heard myself say, “Me too,” but in my head I said, “I LOVE ME TOO, I LOVE ME TOO!” Fuck.
Thankfully my bus came and I did passively aggressively email him saying I thought everything was going too fast and that we should perhaps just be friends for now. When I said, “for now” I meant “forever”, but later that proved to be confusing as he thought we were somehow exclusive, though not in a relationship. He gave me a somewhat tearful talking to about how he felt betrayed that I would be interested in other guys openly. The only way I knew how to deal with him at the time was just to apologize but then completely ignore him until he got the message. Passive aggressiveness wins again!
I am now 21, and this still stands as my worst, and most bizarre date ever.
