DATE FROM HELL: The Real Romantic Type
Tara, 19, from Illinois, writes:
I once went out with a guy I met online. He found me on facebook and asked me out to dinner. He seemed harmless enough, so I met him in front of his dorm. When I arrived, he looked only vaguely like he did in the senior picture he had shown me, but I thought to myself, "Hey, everyone likes to put their bestfoot forward. No big deal."
Next, he informed me that he was taking me to dinner at the most elegant (not),Watterson Food Court, one of the dining centers on campus that takes our mealplans. I thought this was weird, but I decided it couldn't be that bad, and itwas a change of pace from going to my dining hall. So, I went along with it, deciding that this date was decidedly more casual than I had originally thought.
He proceded to buy my dinner by swiping his meal plan (oh so classy!) and then take me out to dessert, also on his meal plan, to Ben and Jerry's. He said less than 25 words all night but the majority of them were while waiting in that Ben and Jerry's line. Proceding, was the most awkward hug of my entire life:
"Oh I didn't hug you, so I'll do it now."
Talk about weird. I blocked him on AIM, unfriended him on facebook, took hisphone number out of my phone, and now dodge his painful glances whenever I am given the unfortunate circumstance of seeing him on campus.
