Nineteen Candles
My Very Worst Date occurred on my 19th birthday, a day that’s normally reserved for some kind of party and general debauchery. Unfortunately, I had been dating this guy on and off for a while, and while he was cute, I always felt there was something off. He wanted to treat me to a day of fun on my birthday, but the day began with him getting to my house late. I waited for at least three hours for him to show up. It turned out he had no actual plans, so he suggested a trip to Taco Bell. So far that was fine, I was just slightly annoyed, until he let me know that he had no money. I, being completely shocked, decided that was okay for some reason and coughed up the money to pay for my own cheapo birthday lunch.
From there, we had to find something to do that was fun. He was driving around in circles trying to decide and guess what? His car ran out of gas. In order to get home I paid for half a tank. We ended up driving back to my house after that and I was obviously annoyed at the situation, yet he still hung around. I was completely ignoring him at home, but he wouldn’t leave. Finally, the time came for my parents to take me out for a birthday dinner. In addition to being a totally awkward individual with no conversational skills, he tipped over a glass of water, spilled food and was a general embarrassment. After that, he still didn’t go home, but I feigned sleep in order to get him to leave. The following week, I broke up with him in search of greener pastures.
