I've only vlog-ed once and it felt horribly awkward and toolish (yes that is a real word, because I just used it in a sentence). I've wanted to record another one to redeem myself. But I haven't thought of something really intelligent to vlog about or... no that's about it. I enjoy watching the videos for Vlog Friday that Nicole features over at Adventures in Love and Happiness sometimes I have nothing relevant to say for the topic but just enjoy people's answers but this past Friday I had a pretty good example/s for it. But of course, life happened. I was gone all day Friday. So I figured I'd record a vlog for it Saturday... a day late isn't that bad right? Saturday turned out really busy. As did Sunday. Now here we are Tuesday afternoon! It'd be total lame sauce if I posted a video now. So I thought I'd still write about my answer but not do a video... that'll work right? So here's the link to her prompt last week.
The prompt was: What's the worst date you've been on?
There was this guy I was "friends with privileges" with in high school. It was a weird 2+ year relationship/friendship. I think we liked each other but we didn't want the commitment. So although we may have seemed and acted like we were dating... we weren't.
It was the week after Grad and we went to the city to return his tux and perhaps go for dinner or something. We ended up going to the theater to watch a movie.
When he had picked me up that morning he had made a comment about how the cereal box that morning had a coupon for the theater so maybe he could treat me to a movie. I laughed and was like yeah ok. I'm all about saving money but a coupon at the theater? Not the way to impress a girl. We ended up deciding to see Mr. Deeds.
When we walked up to stand in line to buy tickets he handed me the cut out cardboard coupon and said "Here you can pay for yours with this"
I said "No that's ok. I'll just use my debit."
He said "Just use the coupon!"as he tried to shove it into my hands.
"Nah, that's quite ok. I don't mind paying for myself."
By now he's starting to get really frustrated with me as the line starts to inch closer and closer to the counter. We get up to purchase tickets and he says "Two adult tickets to Mr. Deeds. I have a coupon for her ticket and I'll pay cash for mine."
Way to make me feel like I'm worth something! He's all smug because he saved himself some money. And forget me getting anything at the food stand! That's way too over-priced and there's no coupon for that!
Did I mention I used to call him The Coupon King? He was like this with everything! If there wasn't a coupon for it then we had to stand in the aisle at the grocery store for 10 minutes finding the best deal. Although the joke is probably on me... he's probably really rich by now!
So there's my story on one of my worst dates! I have a few more experiences. I seem to get myself into awkward situations. Or perhaps make situations awkward!
Hahaha good thing I knew how to take you out on a date. Our first date we went rock climbing out in the bush where there was huge grizley tracks and we even had a creepy third wheel. Now thats a date :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. That is too funny (and totally odd that he insisted YOURS was the free ticket). I think high school dates are always the worst!
