A Kiss Is Not Just A Kiss

MVWD happened when I was in 9th grade. I was young and had never had much experience with boyfriends. I became interested in a guy from my school, and since he was in 10th grade, it seemed exciting.

We agreed to meet up in a forest near our houses, since I was extremely shy about being around a lot of people. It was alright in the beginning, but I soon realized how desperate and clingy he was. He begged me to kiss him, so I did, reluctantly. It was probably the worst kiss I had ever had. He kept his mouth open and did not apply pressure at all. I pulled away and said I needed to get home, which wasn’t a complete lie: I had to use the bathroom badly.

He clutched onto me and said he needed to kiss me again to “know that it was real, that it was actually happening.” He forced a kiss on me, and I broke away, sprinting for home.

He contacted me after that, wanting to see me but I was unsure about seeing him again. Eventually he got over me.

After he got over you, was he able to finish the 10th grade?

zomboidAugust 20th, 2010 at 7:10 am

i hope he’s ok

LisaAugust 20th, 2010 at 7:19 am

Was the second kiss at least a little better, since he took it by brute force?

Hope you made it to the bathroom in time.

worst…story…ever

I think that maybe stories about high school dates shouldn’t be allowed for submission. All of high school is awkward and uncomfortable. Period. End of story.

JohnAugust 20th, 2010 at 9:07 am

Does sound like a bad date would have liked a bit more detail!

katieAugust 20th, 2010 at 9:18 am

are you still in 9th grade?

PanquakeAugust 20th, 2010 at 9:37 am

Please tell me this is a joke. This isn’t even a story.

LalliAugust 20th, 2010 at 9:43 am

If I had told my parents in 9th grade that I was going to meet an older boy in the woods alone…I think they’d have a problem with that.

tronnerAugust 20th, 2010 at 11:02 am

A kiss is not a contract, but it’s very nice…it’s very very nice.

why was this allowed up here? c’mon.

ReneeAugust 20th, 2010 at 12:33 pm

Have adults stopped submitting their very worst date stories?

gewagAugust 20th, 2010 at 12:51 pm

@Tronner: Just because you’ve been exploring my mouth, doesn’t mean you get to take an expedition to the South…

- just because we’ve been playing tonsil hockey doesn’t mean you get to score the goal in my jockeys

Jemaine and Bret rock!

Who approved this story? Awful. Fire him/her.

SurrealianAugust 20th, 2010 at 2:36 pm

Oh come on! Just because it’s from high school doesn’t make it any less of a worse date for the person it happened to. It was pretty much a worst date/kiss. She was probably so excited to go on a “date” with this guy and it was just horrible. That kiss sounds atrocious!

SSAugust 20th, 2010 at 3:48 pm

Sounds like a story my BF told me about his first kiss, haha. You aren’t from Murphys are you?

Surrealian – you must be the OP trying to defend yourself. Sorry, your story sucked

/Zing/.

KimAugust 20th, 2010 at 6:37 pm

Bit lame, but I think most people have a story like this from high school.

ClaraAugust 20th, 2010 at 8:06 pm

It’s not a big deal or anything, but really… there’s nothing to this story. Typically there’s some unique element that makes the date the very worst, not just a bad kiss and immaturity.

“@Suzy: the Admins approved the story. Can we fire you from reading our blog?”

That was entertaining, though.

pkAugust 20th, 2010 at 8:30 pm

A kiss on a first HS date is a bit much (and he wasn’t a great kisser but he was only in 10th grade, what do you expect). And meeting up in the middle of a forest because the OP is shy? Uh, seriously? Shy usually = group date, not middle-of-nowhere makeout point (yeeeah, usually leads to kissing). Oh, and OP, how did he ever survive after you (LOL)?

UnsightlyJelloAugust 20th, 2010 at 9:09 pm

My worst dates all came from my first serious boyfriend (same ages actually as this story) but that was primarily because he was a horndog.
Highschool stories shouldn’t be banned. Some of the shit my ex did to me was terrible including essentially cheating on me with one of my best friends in front of half the school and then spreading rumors after we broke up (what a cliche).
Sure, it was a bad date, not as bad as a lot on here but it was her VWD so get over it. At least her grammar was decent :)

BloodyNeptuneAugust 20th, 2010 at 11:45 pm

This site isn’t a competition xD “Oh that’s not bad enough” like, come on, maybe that really is her worst date ever. That’s actually a good thing, usually.

Frau BlucherAugust 21st, 2010 at 12:16 am

well it’s definitely a Bad Kiss story, we all have those in our past! but how many high schoolers are great kissers? only on those stupid teenage soap operas.

YGAugust 21st, 2010 at 12:21 am

It sounds like the guy had a romantic fantasy all played out in his head that he wanted her to fulfill, and she obviously hadn’t been handed the script. HS romances and trysts tend to be that way. At least it didn’t happen at a RenFest where he called he “My lady” repeatedly…

ErkableAugust 21st, 2010 at 7:11 am

If this is her worst date, the OP is really living on the edge. Quick – she needs an intervention!

AnonymousBastardAugust 21st, 2010 at 7:34 am

Sounds like one of my high school dates. Only he didn’t brush his teeth. Really it sounds like a typical hormonal high school date. I’m sure the guy isn’t that awkward now.

TanekAugust 21st, 2010 at 8:11 am

MVWD: My worst date is that I invited a girl out, we went out to dinner and had ok but not amazing conversation. We enjoyed our meal, I hugged her good night and then we didn’t talk anymore because we just weren’t that interested.

So BloodyNeptune should I submit that for the site?

LisaAugust 21st, 2010 at 9:52 am

No good deed goes unpunished, Admin!

You work your fingers to the bone supplying us with free entertainment, then you’re berated (even threatened with termination!) when we don’t get our free entertainment fix.

You can at least take solace in the fact that an ungrateful & demanding readership is proof of success. (Better thirty responses of “this story sucked!” than deafening silence!)

SurrealianAugust 21st, 2010 at 5:18 pm

Tranek, I’m not the OP I was just saying that because it was a high school story doesn’t make it any better or worse for whomever this happened to. MVWD happened to be my very first kiss so I guess I was able to relate…although I didn’t go meet him in the woods. This story just seemed pathetically sad for a young girl who was probably excited about going on a “date”. There are far lamer stories on here than this one.

Admin, no need to be so thin-skinned, Suzy was obviously joking. A lot of times when anybody criticizes the blog, some Admin will come out and yelp at us. It’s just people being people on the internet, no need to get bent out of shape.

adminAugust 22nd, 2010 at 11:21 am

@Glenn, did it occur to you that we might be joking too?

NurseDreaAugust 22nd, 2010 at 1:53 pm

Glenn, please reread your statement and try to follow it for yourself. I recommend reading slowly.

JeffAugust 23rd, 2010 at 7:59 am

It seems to me that there should be something unique about a MVWD in order to submit it. This particular one is no different than experiences that millions of people have had as teenagers. Admins of course decide what gets posted, but IMNSHO this one is a fail.

And a refresher for everyone: http://myveryworstdate.com/comments/

Look, I get that you’re being sarcastic, and I deeply respect sarcasm and get in trouble for it all the time.

Yes, your blog you can post whatever you want, and if you allow comments then people get to tell you what they think. If you post more things someone doesn’t enjoy than things that they do they will probably leave. But there is nothing wrong them expressing what they don’t like, though admittedly some people may have been a bit rude about it.

BUT posting the commenting rules is over the top, particularly when the admins comments are exactly the same level of rudeness/sarcasm depending on how you interpret the tone. If you really believe that one or more comments actually breaks one or more rules, be specific. I’m really sick of the threatening, deleting, and banning when no explanation is given. Sure your site, your rules, but there is no need to be a tyrant -particularly as this is supposed to be a humourous site.

TanekAugust 23rd, 2010 at 10:35 am

Admins don’t joke. It’s along the same lines as the fact that women do not poop.

ThandiAugust 23rd, 2010 at 12:28 pm

I agree with glenn and mystic_eye, constant admin interference and threats give the comments section a tyrannous tone, and that’s too bad because this is a good site…

OPAugust 24th, 2010 at 2:15 am

I’m actually the one who wrote this. I probably should have mentioned that he grabbed onto my arm and wouldn’t let me leave until he kissed me again. That’s what made it extremely horrifying for me. Sorry it wasn’t too interesting though.

PEACE
