Worst date ever - for which you were responsible!
There was a thread a while back where people told of the "worst dates" they had been on and the clueless people responsible for arranging them. This is the other way round - the worst dates for which you yourself were responsible.
My offering: This happened a lot of years ago when I was a research student. I owned an elderly and not totally reliable car which I was less than conscientious about maintaining (though I did occasionally replace failing components with ones scavenged from a local scrapyard). Anyway, one evening I took a girl out to the movie theater on a first date, and when we got back to the car - surprise surprise - it wouldn't start. So I sat in the driver's seat and asked my date to give me a push-start. Unfortunately she wasn't strong enough and her high-heels didn't exactly make the work easy, so instead I asked her to steer the car while I did the pushing. Eventually we did get the car going, and I was able to take her home.
Do you think she ever went out with me again? Well much to my astonishment she did! I either had more charisma than I thought or else she was a glutton for punishment!

Ok, you probably don't need any more reminders of what not to do  , but I've gotta ask it! You really didn't have HER sit with her heels in the drivers seat while YOU pushed started the car?

LOL - this was 20 years ago when I was young and irresponsible, and I don't think the difficulties of driving with heels on would have crossed my mind then. Maybe she took them off - I can't remember.
P.S. If I'd worn the heels myself to push the car, I think I'd have remembered that!

LOL ok so mentioning the heels was just me being facetious (similar to saying - have her sit her pretty little self in the drivers seat). I'm just surprised that when you told her to get out and push, she didn't get out of the car and walk away.

I didn't tell her - I asked her very politely

Okay – my big date mistake. I was in high school (in Provo Utah) and my two best friends went to B. Y. High. Our Jr. Prom was on the same weekend so we decided to all go together. Come the big night I showed up at my date’s house with my tux and flower and my date answered the door in a sweat shirt and jeans. As soon as she saw me she ran off screaming. Next thing I know her dad is at the door mad as a wet cat. In the middle of all the ruckus the father informed me that the dance was the previous night. They were on the same weekend but not the same night.
No one cared or even asked me how I felt about not being able to go to the dance. And that girl never even talked to me again – not even at any of the reunions.

Ouch... a genuine mistake, but no less embarassing lol. I don't understand why she held it against you though, it wasn't something you did on purpose. Having read a few scenarios of bad dates, I have wondered that a lot - I'd rather be with someone who was able to laugh off genuine mistakes, providing they don't keep reoccuring, as that is what I would do. But then that's just my own mentality, which is often very different to those around me

Does Olive Garden count as a group date? Does the Olive Garden group date qualify for the "fine" category?
