Women Share Their Worst Dates
1 of 15
Allison, 31
“On one date, the guy suggested we go for dinner. When the waitress came with the bill, he gave her his credit card and then said to me, ‘It probably won’t work because it’s expired.’ He told me that he had a new card but hadn’t activated it yet. Right. Mind you, I’d already told him that I had just gotten laid off and was living off of unemployment and savings. The only alternative he suggested was to go back to his job ten blocks away and ask his coworkers for some petty cash. When the waitress came back and told us his card had been declined, I was thoroughly embarrassed. I paid for the meal and made that the end of the evening—and the end of us dating.”

I must share an experience I had. Probably this has come up before. I am still shaking my head. This man I knew was a very kind preacher. His wife had passed away some years before, and he was now ready to date. He drove 90 miles to pick me up for dinner. He drove to a casino. I hate casinos! We sat in a snack bar, and he proceeded to order the turkey and dressing special. Wow! He paid all of $5.00 each for our meal which consisted of cold sliced turkey. Actually, the meal tasted like a TV dinner. I was so outdone, I couldn't even enjoy my dinner. I vowed that this was my last date with him, cheap!! After our date, I learned that he was addicted to gambling, and drives all over the state for a new challenge to try his luck. He even suggested we try our luck, and I told him I felt a headache coming on, and he took me home. Anyway, I was cordial. I am a young 63 year old, and one of hobbies is trying nice, new restaurants. That casino snack-bar will not be on my list.

I went out with this guy once but prior to heading out we had to stop by his house so that he could change. He showed me to his rec room and we sat on the couch for a few talking, then he suddenly fell asleep (I later found out he had already been drinking). As I attempted to wake him by shaking him I then heard a growll from over in a dark corner, it was his female, and rather large, Rottweiler. I attempted to wake him again only to come face to face withhis "bitch" and she wasn't happy. After what seemed like a lifetime, he woke up, yes, 7 hours later, leaving me to sit as still as possible so as not to excite the "bitch" He awoke thinking it was stil the previous night, I insisted that he move his "bitch" and when he did, I politely got up and dragged my wet tail home, yes I pee'd on ol' boys couch, several times at that. Moral: Never date a man with a "bitch".

My friend set me up with her son's barber. We met at a restaurant, and where I arrived first. He showed up with a booksack on, but I didn't think anything of it. So we went to the bar while we waited on our table to be ready. Immediatly I noticed he was beyond drunk! He was so rude to the bartender that she begged me to make him stop talking to her like he was. So 10 minutes later at the table he ordered another drink. So we ordered our appetizers, and he walked around the restaurant for literally 25 minutes, i had no idea where he went. Then he came back, and ate a little, started gagging, dranked some water, then he passed out at the table, all within literally 5 to 7 minutes. So I ordered my food to go, and I left him there at the table passed out. So about 20 minutes later, he started blowing my phone up asking, "Why did I leave, and come back, because I was supposed to take him home." And he finally stopped calling like an hour later. NO MORE HOOK UPS FOR ME!!!!!

I have had several relationships with women of all races. My last girlfriend who was black, chose not to treat me well so that's why I left her alone. My current girlfriend who is white, chooses to treat me well, so that's why I'm with her. It has nothing to do with race. All I want is someone who treats, loves, and respects me the way I do her, I don't care if she is green, has a glass eye or a wooden leg! Love has no color. Why settle for less regardless of color when you deserve better? I'm not!

I am listening to all the messages from Essence-friends-acquaintances-everyday WOMEN, going to happy hour by myself, going to a play by myself, taking in the advice, loving myself, dining myself, went on a cruise by myself, flew to Jamaica by myself, etc., etc. I LOVE MYSELF...LOL Anyway, I am sure you get the picture but I am tired of doing BY MYSELF! I do not even see many and sometimes any African American men out doing anything. I go to church, the gym, bookstore, hiking...yadda, yadda, yadda but where are the men? No, I cannot leave a comment on a bad date because I cannot even get a date. Of course I am open to more advice.
