@Larz: No possible chance. I can handle liquor (although I don’t like it), but this was to a point where I literally felt like I couldn’t keep my eyes open. It was comparable to the feeling one gets right before going under on Ambien or something.

I’m amazed that no one has suggested that, opposed to being drugged, she couldn’t handle her liquor.

A couple notes from the OP:

This story had a few details left out. Like 1) he bragged about having these shadowy connections in New York (he belonged to a familiy with name recognition to those in the know in the financial world), and that was why I was too scared to report him. Also, 2), he informed me while stalling that he had purchased 2 tickets to New York for the weekend to see a Broadway show and meet his mom. WHAT A FREAK!!!
And 3), in my frantic drive home all the way to Riverside from Del Mar, I ran out of gas on the freeway. At 11:00 at night. With no moon. I had to walk to the border patrol station in Temecula.

Also, believe it or not, he had the nerve to call me the next day to ask why his “romantic gestures” didn’t work. I told him to never ever call me again.

To Greg: I would actually be up for a date to post on this site, as per poster Em’s suggestion. The Huntington Gardens in Arcadia rock…

The candle thing suggests to me ritual. This is something he probably did before and probably will continue to do. You did the right thing, but the best thing might have been to keep the glass and report your suspicions to the police. I suspect he didn’t try to get back in touch, right?

I can only imagine how horrible the winning story of this contest is if trying to “romantically” rape someone is not the worst possible date ever :/

This makes my worst dates sound fun and pleasant… and I’ve had a date published on this site!

I want to find the OP and give her a fucking gold star for having the sense to realize he was trying to date rape her before she was trapped there unconscious with him. And I also suggest she carry pepper spray from now on.

Scratch that. Pepper spray should be a mandatory thing for everyone dating from the internet. Ugh.

Omg, this is hilarious! I was expecting some grand surprise to be waiting for her at the end of the trail of candles, but nope– all that fanfare just for her to find him sitting in a chair with a bowl of grapes. Cheesy creepiness at its finest.
