The Skirt Chaser

My Very Worst Date happened when I was 16. It was the first (and last) blind date that I’d ever been on and also happened to be my second date ever.  A friend of mine set me up with a friend of her older brother’s, said that he was 19, and that he was great. It was arranged for him to pick me up from her house so she could help me get ready. He picked me up and we went to dinner at a local restaurant. The conversation started out normal with typical first date awkward introductory small talk, but it came out that he was actually 24, and didn’t seem to care that I was 16. Things quickly soured when he started asking me some personal questions. Like REALLY personal. He started asking me about my sexual experiences, using graphic detail. To my horror, the line of questioning got even worse when he started asking me about my menstruation cycle and if it was regular enough to ensure a quick pregnancy.

Thankfully we left the restaurant and I began to complain of an imaginary illness to try and extract myself from this hell as soon as possible. He insisted that we get some ice cream and ignored my protests. Once we got there I managed to convince him to get it to go and eat in the car. The second my butt hit the seat, he launched himself on to me and made wild attempts to kiss me. Absolutely stricken with panic, I shoved him away, and demanded that he take me home. In the melee he had knocked my ice cream on to my lap and it had spilled on my skirt. Spying the spill on my lap he put his arm across my chest to prevent me from bending over (soccer mom sudden stop style) and proceeded to lick the ice cream off my skirt. I screamed bloody murder, hit his head as hard as I could and jumped out of the car.  I ran into the ice cream shop, locked myself in the bathroom and called my dad to pick me up.

It was, without a doubt, the worst date I have ever been on.

that is pretty bad. I guess this was baack in the day when there was no tazer or mace lying around? also, you were 16 and he was 24? can you legally date? I suppose so. I would have tried to have your friend chaperone just in case…..the man needs a good punch in the nuts, seriously.

Are tazers and mace just lying around now? I think the MVW franchise is pulling out all the stops today – this one was amazing.

What kind of ice cream did you get?

I wanted to rate this one “bad” just because…that sounds so horrible..It was hard for me to rate “excellent”…hopefully for obvious reasons. That really sucks. It’s good that you got away. Yikes.

What. A. Creeper. I hope you gave him a concussion!

MicheleApril 2nd, 2010 at 1:58 pm

haha “soccer mom sudden stop style”

Ewww, what a sleeze ball!

BeccaApril 2nd, 2010 at 5:26 pm

Creepy. Glad you weren’t like a lot of other people who would’ve just sat there hoping he would stop soon. Hopefully you gave him a concussion.

Wow, I’m very glad that, at 16, you had more sense than many of the older posters on this site to get the hell out of there. This is definitely one of the worst stories I’ve read on this site!

ErinApril 2nd, 2010 at 7:51 pm

Agree with em, you handled this REALLY well, especially for a 16-year-old.

I voted this excellent for finally getting out of the car.

I know here where I live, the age of consent is 17, and in a small handful of states it is 16, but to throw yourself on someone so young the first time you fucking meet them, legal or not, is really disrespectful. It’s disrespectful at any age but at least an adult’s body language is far easier to interpret (in my eyes). my 16-18 year old peers seemed at the time pretty fragile if I remember correctly, was a few years ago, but most of them couldn’t handle the age gap at that point, I can remember silly girls wailing over older guys because they obviously had no perspective and empathy to realize it’s such a hassle to try and make something of a relationship with someone so immature.

I think the age of consent, for purely ‘emotional responsibility’ reasons, ought to be 18 or older, despite how lame I thought 17 was back then. physically, who knows. there’s the whole risk of creeps and all. I can’t say it isn’t obviously subjective though, I am guilty of pursing a guy 10 years older than me at 17-18, but I had a different head about it than others I’ve met and had to mature in my environment at a young age anyway. blah. I feel weird and hypocritical for seeing it differently now.

anyway, it is really pleasing to hear OP had their wits about them and high-tailed it the hell out of there. good for you.

This is why you don’t date older people until you yourself are atleast 20. Or something like that. Hopefully he gets hit by a train one day.

Although others have said this, I say “Brava!” for hitting the dude and running out of the car. I am SOOO glad I did NOT read, “He started to kiss me, and I am not the type to complain, so I let him, and next I knew, we were at his house …” How many times have we heard THAT from the doormats who write in to this site. I am wondering what you said to your “friend” who set you up … and asked her to explain why she was pimping you out with a borderline pedophile. Or if she was clueless as well, why the brother wanted to pimp you out with this freak. I hope your parents fully raged at your friend’s family. Just gross. Unfortunately, I am sure this predator found a more willing date than you the next time around.

SikaApril 3rd, 2010 at 10:07 pm

I’m glad he picked you up at your friends house. At least he doesn’t know where you live.

That said…I don’t think my parents would have let me on a date with a boy they hadn’t met when I was 16.

massageonApril 5th, 2010 at 5:49 am

I bet your Dad wanted to kill him!!!

TMSApril 5th, 2010 at 11:14 am

I had kind of the opposite thing happen to me. I was in my mid-20′s and the girl was in her teens (although she lied and told me she was older, I didn’t find out until later she was nearly ten years younger than me).

goatladyApril 5th, 2010 at 10:08 pm

I am so sorry that happened to you. What kind of pervert would do that to a 16 year old? And asking about your period? So he could impregnate you!? That is 25 kinds of fucked up.

MaggieApril 7th, 2010 at 4:29 am

Fucking hell, that dude is going to end up on some sort of register if he hasn’t already.

judeApril 7th, 2010 at 12:21 pm

I’m glad you hit him. He so had it coming

complicatedApril 9th, 2010 at 2:59 am

I’m sorry but this site seems bogus. All the stories I’ve read so far, which granted isn’t all of them, are clearly written by the same person. I guess its no big deal but its not as interesting and it casts doubt in my mind on if any of it is actually true.

adminApril 9th, 2010 at 7:02 am

We can assure you that the site is not “bogus.” If the stories are written by the same person they’ve gone to a lot of trouble to have hundreds of different email and IP addresses.

KApril 9th, 2010 at 9:06 am

This isn’t a date; it’s a pedophile trying to rape an under age girl. You should take this down. And refer him to the police if you know his full name.

TiffMay 5th, 2010 at 11:44 pm

Ew. ew. ew. You couldn’t have done a better job getting away.
I’m with K though. Definitely find someone to report this to. It’s never too late to get the message out. Even if they can’t do anything about it now, they can still keep an eye out for his name.

*shudders*

CeridwengJune 24th, 2010 at 2:45 pm

I love the blaming of the OP for going out with an “older” man when she wasn’t ready. She thought he was 19 FFS!!!

The guy was a creeper, she should be applauded for standing up for herself. Many 16 year olds would have ended up raped by this creep.

VanditJanuary 19th, 2011 at 4:24 am

ewwwww what kinda person would act like this…. he really has nerves to ask so many question being a blind date. i wonder what his intentions were all thru.. it felt like reading a movie script but pretty impressive guts and quick thinking :) awesome

EukaryoteApril 7th, 2011 at 12:24 am

Well I feel the need to scrub myself after that one.
