The Casa Nova

MVWD was a blind date. “Ike” picked me up after work in Manhattan. He took me to a really nice and expensive restaurant, where the waiters seemed to know him. I ordered one glass of wine and  barely made a dent in it. Silly me, I thought it was safe to use the bathroom while on a date. I later realized Ike probably slipped something in my drink, because I began to feel strange, unwell, but couldn’t quite explain the feeling to this day.

Ike talked me into going to a bar “near his apartment” on the UES and continued to try to sweet talk me into more alcohol. Well those in my life know what a strong personality I am, and I guess it finally saved me to be so bold and blunt. I guess Ike was losing patience with me and finally blurted out, “I don’t see this going anywhere but let’s go f*ck anyway. What do you say?” I told him that he was out of his mind and that I don’t waste my sexual efforts on micro objects.

The best part about that night for me was going to the bartender to get money out of my debit card, because the cab promised by this prince was obviously not going to be provided. I watched Ike, who clearly thought I had left, throw his short-tempered, stubby little pathetic drug pushing body around (like the sex-starved brat he was), yank his scarf off the coat rack, and smack it on the floor in anger. Priceless!

I sense that somewhere in there is a brilliant story about a really bad date.

I had one guy get SO drunk that he bragged about putting stuff in girls drinks. He laughed as he told me a story on how he did this to one girl. She drank the drink but left afterwards, she passed out on the way home, crashing her car into a tree.

This is one story where I find myself thinking “more details.” That almost never happens.

Anyway, this story is good reminder of the real, scary potential out there on dates. Be careful out there, boys and girls.

I feel like there was a paragraph or two that may have vanished from this post.

More deets, pls.

Two rules of dating here:

1.) Men: We don’t owe you shit. If you want so badly to get laid, just get a hooker and be done with it.

2.) And on the subject of not owing you shit, if you have to resort to drugging a woman to get laid ask yourself: what is it about me that makes women not want me when they’re sober?

What I want to know is who set you up on this date, and what did you say to them the next day?

Drinky the Drunk GirlFebruary 29th, 2012 at 10:18 am

Wow. I am so glad you got out of that ok. I once had something slipped into my drink as well as my girl friends. We drove off for about a mile before we realized we were messed up. Watch yourself, girls. This really happens.

Getting out of being date raped is like a good date wrapped in a bad date.

JayFebruary 29th, 2012 at 11:27 am

This story has more details about how he maybe probably I don’t know put something in your drink even though it didn’t affect you, than it does about anything else. Here’s what’s actually in the story:

Guy takes you to nice restaurant. Guy pushes you to drink too much. You don’t. Guy propositions you. You insult him and leave. He throws a small tantrum.

Eh.

It’s definitely a horrible date, being drugged is always terrible. However, your story telling skills are a bit sub-par.

blondieFebruary 29th, 2012 at 11:50 am

About 80% of this story seems to be missing, but at least we got this gem:
“I don’t waste my sexual efforts on micro objects.”
Sexual efforts? Micro objects? I must start using these terms in casual conversation.

zomboidFebruary 29th, 2012 at 1:03 pm

i don’t waste my sexual objects on micro efforts

EllereFebruary 29th, 2012 at 1:32 pm

Cathy, maybe the drugs haven’t worn off yet.

PuzzledFebruary 29th, 2012 at 2:15 pm

I don’t know what this story was about.

KarenWalkerFebruary 29th, 2012 at 2:27 pm

doesn’t sound like it was a roofie that was slipped in your drink

laurenFebruary 29th, 2012 at 5:09 pm

feeling a bit weird doesn’t exactly mean he spiked your drink. more details..?

NattieFebruary 29th, 2012 at 7:59 pm

The UES + potential rapeyness + scarf throwing totally immediately made me think of Gossip Girl. Dear Lord, I like horrible TV.

Anyway, horrible date, and good for you OP for standing your ground.

@ Psyche: exactly!
@ Karen & Lauren: if she only had a few sips of wine, it’s possible that she’d only feel a little sleepy/loopy instead of the full effects of the roofie. Though, of course, I agree it doesn’t mean that he drugged her for sure.

nachturnalFebruary 29th, 2012 at 9:35 pm

Yeah, I’m not really quite getting the “he slipped something into your drink” vibe either (am getting a massive-ass “bullet. dodged” feeling though, re pushiness). Depending on the wine, I can’t finish a glass without getting legless. Something about phosphates and sensitivity.

Does anyone else get annoyed with the fact and more and more people these days don’t know how to use quotation marks?

“near his apartment” shouldn’t be in quotes in the story. It’s not like the guy was like “hey girl I just drugged, let’s go to a bar near his apartment”

Maggie MayMarch 1st, 2012 at 5:36 am

@eh?: Yup.

Although I thought maybe she was going for a bar “near” his apartment, meaning the dude claimed it was near his apartment, but this was about 20 blocks north of where he said he lived.

You would probably enjoy The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks. (unnecessaryquotes dot com)

eh?March 2nd, 2012 at 9:11 am

@Maggie May – yeah that’s a great blog though it tends to focus more on my mom’s types of shudder-worthy unnecessary quotes a la her email to me today:

I’m bringing some nibbles for “after the wedding”

and

it is the very ‘least’ we can do

BrunetteMarch 3rd, 2012 at 6:52 am

I would have told the waiter and called the cops on him.
Rapist bastard

MVWD writer of this articleMarch 5th, 2012 at 10:54 am

@Nattie: this happened to me well before Gossip Girl was ever even a proposal for a tv show.

XanMarch 6th, 2012 at 10:01 am

If you really thought he drugged you, you should have called the cops. He probably went on to date rape some other girl because no one said anything.
