Alright, here's my worst date story... For the last year and a half or so, since I broke up my ex girlfriend (rather plain looking gamer chick), I've been looking around online to meet girls (Match and OKCupid mainly, with a brief eHarmony stint). I don't care much for picking up girls in bars, am done with school, and work at a engineering-heavy defense contractor where the girls are either taken or weird, so this is pretty much the only logical route I can take.
So I meet this one girl named Kristina, she's very attractive in her pictures - blonde, thin, with glasses, totally my type. We talk online for a bit, we have a bit in common, we both like the crossword puzzles and art (she worked at a museum). Just as a side note, my Match profile is slightly geared towards the artsy and outdoorsy types, because I'm not sure I want a geek girl (see, etoliate's posts in these threads) or your stereotypical "Long Island girl", i.e. no personality beyond rooting for the Yankees, going to local townie bars, and listening to Dave Matthews Band and Billy Joel, with the occasional visit to the beach when its wrong. So back to this girl... we talk for a bit and she's fun to talk to on AIM, has quite a bit to say, so we exchange numbers.
I call her on a Friday, ask her what she's up to, she says not much, so I asked if she wants to hang out. She lives in Garden City, about a 40 min drive for me, so I told her I'd meet up close to where she lives, at the Dave and Busters in the Source Mall in Westbury. I get there and she can't find the Dave and Busters, she calls me a few times, I try explaining to her... since the D&B is attached to a mall, she said to just meet her by the H&M there. So alright, I did... Saw her, introduced myself and gave her a quick hug. We talked for a minute, and I'm like... so what do you wanna do? Are you hungry? She says, "not really"... I'm like, "ohhh... I haven't eaten all day so I'm pretty hungry. But I could wait till later. What do you wanna do?" And she says, "We should go to Starbucks, there's one around here, you can follow me to it". So she wanted to take 2 separate cars, told me to look for her black CRV in the parking garage (I was parked near D&B in another parking lot).
Alright, so I take my car and drive to the parking garage, looking around for her. Didn't see her or anything, I gave it about 10 minutes then tried calling her. No response! I'm like, oh fuck... waited around a bit longer and then tried calling again. Still no response! I was pretty pissed, thinking... "naah, she couldn't have... or could she?" Then a bit after the second call, I get a text message, not even a real call (I hate text messaging... you have a phone, just fucking pick it up and use it!). And it says "sorry, but I'm not feeling too good". So I try giving her one more call. Nope, still no answer. Then I'm like, fuck this... drove home pretty pissed off. And then I get one last text message "don't hate me for making you drive out all the way here, but it wouldn't have worked out". WTF??? She could have at least given me a chance, even if she didn't like me that much she could have at least had the courtesy to hang out and at least get coffee and talk for a bit. Fucking waste of time
I didn't say anything to her after that, just deleted the contact, removed her from AIM and myspace, and moved on with my life. Still she was a cunt
After that I hung out with my friend eating at overrated Italian chain Carabba's, then playing some retro games with him. I felt like such a loser
I haven't heard back from Theresa in almost a week either... so this really sucks, my luck on girls has been shit. The FF girl wasn't nearly as attractive in person as she was in her pictures either...
