Wrapping Relief

cnote

I’m not the sort of person who enjoys clubbing, but I decided to go to one in Atlanta to hang out with a friend of mine who I never get a chance to see. She brought a few friends with her, one of which was her father’s business partner’s son, C. After we left that club and visited a few other bars and lounges, my friend and her buddies decided to call it a night, all of them except C, who had been acting strangely all night. I was deemed the designated driver and was toting everyone around all night, so when they took a cab back to their cars, C said he’d accompany me home.

When we got back to my place, we sat on opposite ends of the couch while I smoked a bowl with him, debating on whether or not I wanted to pursue this opportunity for a one-night stand. I decided on “no” but as I got up to get my car keys to take him home, he asked, “Well, how do you feel about hooking up? Do you wanna try making out a little?” I admired his balls for asking this and went for it. Not only was he the worst kisser ever – one of those tongue-jabbers – but throughout the course of the evening, he proceeded to tell me that I was one of the only girls to ever make him wear protection, that he could see us getting married one day and that he was a very devout Christian (I’m Jewish).

I was completely turned off by the whole thing, dropped him off at MARTA at 4 a.m., and ignored his calls thereafter. I feared that this disaster of an evening would spur a string of bad dates to follow, but lucky for me, I went out with a great guy literally one week later and am still happily in love with him to this day.

P.S. Fast forward to about 9-10 months later, my girlfriend told me that C had knocked up some girl in Las Vegas (before he met me), and being a devout Christian, he married her and they are now living in California together. I was so thankful that I stuck to my guns and made him wrap it up.

I’m sorry to tell you, OP, but you are twelve kinds of wrong. Why would you sleep with a guy you don’t know and don’t like? After hearing that he never uses protection, why would you let him put that thing anywhere near you? I would have felt dirty for weeks after, taking scalding hot showers and crying.

MaureenJanuary 27th, 2010 at 9:09 am

I agree with Wendy, no way would he have gotten anywhere near me after that little fact slipped out. Also, I wouldn’t have slept with him after finding out he was such a terrible kisser. Why set yourself up for disappointment? Glad you found someone nice though and didn’t get stuck with tongue-jabber, yikes.

No one has commented on the fact that the “DD” was high when she dropped him off at MARTA.

NEJoyJanuary 27th, 2010 at 9:25 am

Wendy (and Maureen), it sounds as though he told her he didn’t usually use protection after they’d already done the deed; otherwise his comment that she was one of the few who made him wear protection doesn’t make any sense.

I agree with not sleeping with a terrible kisser, thing, though.

LisaJanuary 27th, 2010 at 9:35 am

C’mon, Puritans… most of us have slept with guys we barely knew and barely liked.

It’s an integral part of determining what it is that you actually DO like– you can’t accurately discern “good” without some experience with “bad”.

KellyJanuary 27th, 2010 at 9:57 am

This story is just weird. Why was she the designated driver if they were taking a cab to their cars? But I am glad she made him wear protection.

MeshellJanuary 27th, 2010 at 12:03 pm

J – I would be surprised if she was still high after mediocre sex and at 4 a.m. I don’t have a timeline, but I bet they got home around 2 a.m. Different tolerances for different people and all.

Otherwise, it sounds like the OP slept with someone that was a wee bit desperate. Not too terrible of a date, so boring story. I have a couple like this from when I was just out of college, so it’s rather commonplace.

Congratulations?

This is why you don’t do drugs kiddies.

Frau BlucherJanuary 27th, 2010 at 3:50 pm

if the guy had been a terrible kisser there was no way I would have gone any further…..high or not!

rawrJanuary 27th, 2010 at 4:17 pm

Lisa:

Um, yeah, no. Most of us haven’t fucked virtual strangers we don’t like. Using some discretion isn’t puritanical, it’s common sense.

SikaJanuary 27th, 2010 at 6:30 pm

I’m not judging you Lisa for your choices, but I agree, most people don’t just hook up with whoever. I don’t think it’s wrong that you do, but just because you do it doesn’t mean everyone does.

LisaJanuary 27th, 2010 at 7:39 pm

Okay, I’ll amend my statement to “some of us”. (I’m probably older than most of you, and sexual mores were looser, back in my heyday.)

nicoJanuary 28th, 2010 at 4:11 am

Jeez, what a bunch of judgey prudes. So she had an ill-advised one night stand, big deal – she used protection, so no harm done. Maybe we haven’t ALL done it, but I can assure you A LOT of us have – probably a lot of women you know, but who don’t talk to you about it because they know you’ll disaprove.
And Lisa, if your heyday was the seventies (just guessing), no sexual mores weren’t looser back then – but apparently MVWD attracts the straight-laced crowd.

trebJanuary 28th, 2010 at 9:14 am

It was a ONS, not a date.

SophieJanuary 28th, 2010 at 6:17 pm

Hmm, I dunno nico… apparently teens are more conservative then their parents who grew up in the seventies. I read that somewhere once so it must be a fact Plus there wasn’t AIDS to worry about. Either way, I’m not judging.

LisaJanuary 28th, 2010 at 6:37 pm

Nico- yeah, all of my female acquaintances (who I’ve known well enough to discuss such things, that is) own up to at least ONE stupid, drunken one-night stand. I’d assumed it was relatively universal. (But maybe I just run with a slutty crowd!)

gewagJanuary 29th, 2010 at 12:01 pm

“C’mon, Puritans… most of us have slept with guys we barely knew and barely liked. ”

The hell? Fucking unlikable strangers is part of growing up now?
Glad I missed out on that delightful little pearl of adolescence O_o

LisaJanuary 29th, 2010 at 2:25 pm

Gewag– Indeed. In my culture young girls are expected to fuck the most repulsive, ornery stranger who passes through the village, usually during her twelfth year. If a girl is fortunate enough to get an unlikable stranger with thick, curly hair on his back, the whole village rejoices, for this predicts an abundant harvest. My own rite of passage wasn’t nearly so fortuitous, though– all I got was an escaped convict with a misspelled tattoo who lisped. (Ah, well– unlucky in love… lucky in life!)

RosieJanuary 31st, 2010 at 6:00 am

Surely this belongs on I Bang The Worst Dudes, not MVWD? I’d hardly call this a date…

AlyxFebruary 2nd, 2010 at 5:38 pm

Either way, people are projecting their own experiences (and those of their friends/acquaintances) onto the population as a whole. “Most people have/had crappy one night stands” and “most people don’t have one night stands”… My guess would be that it’s probably closer to 50/50.

This is the only anecdote in the “One-Night Mess” category. I wonder if that means we’ll be seeing more ONS horror stories in the near future.
