The "What car I should drive on a first date" thread got me thinking. What were some of your worst dates...not just first dates.

For me :

True story. Went on a "date" with someone I had only recently met but seemed like a fun, adventurous type. I had some free airline tickets that needed to be used in a hurry. Turned into a disaster. Normally no problem but it was a date that lasted 11 days. In St. Lucia. Was supposed to be only a week but our flight home was delayed 4 days due to the volcano on Montserrat blowing and ash in the flight path cancelling all flights. It was horible from the beginning. Turned out I misinterpretted adventurous with immature.

Anyway...trying to atleast end it on a positive note, we were watching the in flight movie on the way back. It was some Australian film about the moon landing. In an effort to make conversation I turned to her and said "Do you remember where you were when man landed on the moon?"

Her: "When was that?"

Me: "1969."

Her: "I wasn't born until 1978."

Last words we ever spoke to each other. It was a long flight home.

New rule regarding age. They gotta remember man landing on moon. 'nother rule: don't do overnight trips with someone you've only known a few weeks.
