Not long arrived home from a first date with a chap who told me he had been banned from driving until November. We agreed to meet in a bar and when I turned up he was halfway through a pint (no problem there), but 2 hours later he had downed 6 pints, told me his last g/f beat him up and asked for a lift home (no I didn't drive him home) !
That's 2 hours of my life I will never get back.
My friend had a date like that - from internet dating. Or rather it wasn`t a date because the guy turned up on her doorstep *** as a fart. The next date wasn`t much better but at least he was sober.
. . . but it tends to go that way when someone starts a thread with a 'question' which isn't one! (i.e. you can't expect a serious answer when there's no question to answer in the first place!)
Date from hell? You must be. But there's a boot for every foot so don't give up. One day you might meet someone as po-faced and self regarding as you appear to be and you can spend your dotage grumbling and looking down your noses at all and sundry.
You have been beaten up by your previous girlfriend, banned from driving but things were looking up.
You had organised a date with this "likely chick" and when you met her, she turned out to be ...Purple_Popple from AB.
