flannel - have you ever gone on a bad date? Oh dear lord, yes. One was really my own fault, the date was already not going too well (after our first one was fantastic) in that she didn’t really listen to my answers to her questions and talked over me. I was also starting to realize we had nothing in common. Then I made the mistake of mentioning going out with friends and she took that as an invitation? She eventually lost her ID, cutting the evening short for my time with my friends and making me feel like the biggest buzzkill for even letting her tag along. She went in for a kiss at the end of the date that ended up on my cheek for a ridiculous amount of time. I hope she eventually found someone because I was most definitely not it. I also had an ex that took every opportunity to go out as an excuse to criticize my eating habits, one who was painfully racist, one who only ever admitted we were more than friends when drunk and one date who revealed too much about her family on our first date and then straight up ignored me. It’s a miracle I found my wife I tell you because dating was the worst (minus dating her of course).
