Pushing It

My Very Worst Date happened years ago. I met this guy in a club, and after dancing and chatting all evening, he asked me out to dinner. He seemed like a nice enough guy so I agreed. We went out to dinner at a great restaurant and all was going reasonably well until he began talking about his days in the Navy. Maybe I began to look a bit bored or something because he suddenly announced that once while at sea, he pushed another sailor overboard and no one found out. I didn’t know whether to believe him or not. Still, I ended that date as quickly as I could and never saw him again.

So, you had a great time dancing and chatting, went to dinner, and then avoided the guy because you were staring off into Lala land? I bet he said it just to gauge your reaction.

I hope he was lying, because that’s absolutely terrible if he wasn’t.

We kind of need more information here. Maybe he WAS just saying it to shock you because you seemed spaced out. Weird.

I’m sure he said this to bring you back from wherever you ventured off to in your head (which is rude by the way) because having been in the navy myself and on two different ships, its quite unlikely for you to be able to push someone overboard and no one know about it. Maybe it was best that you ended the date because I’m sure his navy days were important to him and you couldn’t even find it in yourself to at least FAKE interest…not cool.

Lame. As others have suggested, I bet he was throwing it out there to see if you were listening.

And as far as ‘very worst dates’ go, that’s extremely mild. Wtf.

So.. you met a nice guy, who took you out to dinner, and when he said something a little odd (because you were staring into space) you ran away because you have no sense of humour and didn’t even try to find out if he was being serious?

Sounds like you were *his* VWD.

Assumptions, people. I was never “staring off into space” or lost in “lala land” or “spaced out”. You have no idea how very boring details about life on board a ship can be until you’ve sat through an hour-long repetitive monologue about asshole officers and watch assignments. When I say I may have seemed a bit bored, I mean I had stopped responding about 40 minutes into it. I have to say, if you find a statement that your date has murdered someone “tame” or “mild”, you kind of deserve whomever you get. Pathetic!

I dated a guy who gave me a scarf for Valentines. Later I found out that the scarf was stolen from a costume room of my dancing team.

He tried too hard to impress you. He overdid it, obviously.

There are lots of wrong guys to date: criminals, cheap scape, tongue tied, very unsanitary, those who keeps waiting for “the real girlfriend” while dating you, plain unhealthy, cursing, milkers, stupid, rapists, alcoholics, liars, never grown up, momma’s boys, old bachelors, abusive, refuse to have sex even when things are hot and ripe, gays, married, flirting with other women in your presence, jobless.
Better succumb to being alone than dating those.
