David...

Let me preface this 'disaster' by saying; you should never date someone that you meet at a house party! They will always be losers!

David and i met at a house party and of course we hit it off. Why? Because every 'Party Guy' knows how to give a good line, and also knows how to be 'Oh so charming'! Anyway, we hit it off and starting hanging out (which basically meant that we went to parties together). Randomly, after about 3 weeks of hanging out, he decided to take me on a date...i was smitten so i said yes and asked where we were going to go. I was excited that he finally wanted to up the relationship from 'party buddies' to 'boyfriend/girlfriend'. I thought this was the best thing since sliced bread, but before the date even went down he started to call and text saying all these crazy things he had a problem with. The biggest issue he had was that (he thought) i didn't make enough money to support myself and a family. First of all, what family? Second, how the hell did he know how much i did or didn't make?! We fought for about an hour about this issue, how crazy is that?! I ended the conversation with 'I really don't think this is going to work.' He replied with: ' That's cool, bitch. I don't want to be with someone who is so materialistic anyway.' After this conversation, the only thing i could do was laugh. Anyone who knew me at the time could tell you that i could care less about material things. I think he got his panties all in a bunch because i wouldn't tell him what i made and he wanted to freeload! We never spoke again. :)

Trent...

Let me start off by saying that this 'blog' thing is very new to me, but i decided that it was time to let others laugh about my absolutely CRAZY dating life. Some people may think that some of these stories didn't happen but all is TRUE and nothing has been fabricated.

I'm going to start with my 1st 'Dating Disaster':

I met Trent through my friends Starla and Jaime, Trent was Jaime's roommate and Starla lived across the street from both of these gentleman. I hadn't really hung out with Trent but Jaime said that he liked me and wanted to take me out...i figured that it really couldn't be that bad so why not?! I had told many friends about this date and all of them pretty much had the same response: 'Call me if you need a rescue!' I just laughed it off, but also thought it was going to be a little weird, seeing as how we really hadn't hung out much.

The night of the date we decided that i would meet him at his house and then go from there. I got to his house around 7, and he informs me that the place he's taking me for dinner is a surprise. I think...Okay, cool...we are probably going somewhere nice! WRONG! He drives into the parking lot of Applebee's! At this point i was thinking: 'Oh man! i totally should have drove myself!' Anyway, we sit down, order and start doing the awkward first date dance. At first, things weren't awful but they also weren't great, and then it started going down the drain...fast! He started asking the craziest questions: "What's your take on marriage?" to this i replied: "I don't want to get married...EVER" What's you take on sex?" "Ya, I don't do that" "How many kids do you want?" "I don't want kids." With every one of my answers, to his awkward questions he would reply with a "That's valid!" I was so shocked that he was asking these questions on a FIRST date, plus i was only 18 and really had gone on any dates! Dinner was awkward...so awkward in fact that i was sitting with my legs crossed in the booth because i was tired of the footsie game!

Finally, dinner had ended, thank you, Lord! He then asked me what other guys do when they take me out! I laughed and said I don't know. BAD IDEA! Firm, blunt answers are what you HAVE to answer with when you are in an uncomfortable dating situation! He then decided that i needed to see his old neighborhood. While driving through his neighborhood he is showing me all the places-stories included-where he would pull pranks on neighbors, his first kiss, and where he 'Always walked the dog'. I was so miserable and then, he drives by a house...not just any house, but his PARENTS house. He said 'Don't worry you'll meet them one day! They are going to LOVE you!' I'm thinking 'What?! we have been on this FIRST date for a couple hours and you want me to meet your Parents?!' I was horrified and I needed an out, fast! I had to think of something to get out of this, quickly! I then tell him that i need to use a restroom because the chicken didn't set well, thinking that he will just take me to my car,, after my not so lady like statement. This of course was wishful thinking, he takes me to Target, telling me that he use to work there and they won't mind! So, now here i am standing in the Target restroom using my rescue call, however, there was no answer...no one wanted to save me! I went back out to the car PRAYING he would take me home, but again, no such luck!

I'm sure at this point of the story you are thinking: Oh my...poor girl, this date can't get any worse! You know, however, that when that statement is made things start getting worse!He starts driving again and at this point I'm giving up...i really want to go home, but at the same time i didn't want to hurt this poor guys feelings(I am still MISERABLE). So, he's driving and we end up at the top of a hill...not just any hill, a hill with houses! Yes, it is true, I am victim of a horrible thing called 'Parking'! While we are sitting there he says: 'Wow, you are beautiful!' I replied with: 'Yeah, the Colorado view IS beautiful!' While he's talking there is a house that is turning their lights on and off, I'm sure they are talking in Morse Code, saying: 'GET THE HELL OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD!' Trent, however, didn't catch on. He instead asks me: 'Can i hold your hand?' I reply with: 'I have a no touch policy on the first date.' He still isn't getting that i am not interested and am being completely honest about this fact, but he apparently has a serious case of selective hearing. All of a sudden there is a tap on the window, it is the Rent-A-Cop for this neighborhood with a taser in one hand and a police baton in the other! As Trent rolled down the window, the RAC asked if i was okay and of course said i was fine. He then asked Trent what he was doing...Trent replied with: 'Well, we just got married and moved into the apartments down the road. We were just wanting to see the view.' I was amazed and rolled my eyes! i couldn't believe that he just kept going on with this story! The RAC said that this neighborhood was a private and that we needed to leave. I was so relieved...maybe now i can just go home! Thankfully, he asked me if i wanted to go home and i said yes (probably too quickly).



Now if i was the guy in this situation i would be thinking that this date didn't go very well, and i should count my losses, Trent is not this kinda guy. He was obviously a go getter, a guy who no matter how awkward the situation has become you still press on. Why do i say this? Because, when he was driving me to my car, he asked me if it was okay if he called me to go on a 2nd date! I was trying to hold in laughing out loud! Did he honestly think that this date had gone amazing? I mean i know that i had sugar coated my being uninterested, but by the 'parking' i was being completely blunt!! I told him that i had just got out of a serious relationship and really didn't think that i should be in a relationship right now-total lie! The date had finally ended...there was no hug, hand shake, or high five! I got into my car and went home, thanking God that it was over! The next day, Jaime, Starla and I hung out and i told them exactly what they had gotten me into! We all laughed and poor Jaime had to hear about Trent not having the easiest time getting a 2nd date! :)
