First Dates, Allergies and Love: First date going well

First date going well

By johnfrank - 26/03/2009 17:11 - United States

Today, I was on a blind date with a girl my friend set me up with. We went to a fancy restaurant and she ordered the shrimp. I told her, "I'm allergic to shrimp, so you shouldn't order it in case I want to kiss you later." She looked at the waiter and said, "I'll have the shrimp." FML

Today, I went on a blind date with a guy at a seafood restaurant. I explained to him that I am deathly allergic to shrimp. When the waiter took my order, he interrupted me and said, “She’ll have the shrimp," while looking me dead in the eye. FML

Sounds like a win, somehow

Today, I found out that I'm allergic to shrimp, when I went out for a lunch with my long-term crush after I finally got the courage to ask her out. She's really into seafood. A little while into the afternoon I started to feel itchy. She ended up scratching my back all night. FML

Today, I went on a blind date at a local restaurant. When my date walked in, she took one look at me, said "Nope", and walked out. FML

Today, I went on a blind date that my friends set up. Not only did my date visibly recoil at the sight of me, she ended up trying to convince me that we're actually cousins. When I told her how absurd that was, she muttered, "Fuck it" and left. FML

Bland date

Today, my best friend set me up on a blind date with someone he said was very hot. I'm not exactly what you call fit, so I haven't been dating lately. As soon as I got to the restaurant, I spotted the girl. She looked me up and down, said, "You have GOT to be kidding me" and left. FML

Today, I went on a blind date. We had agreed on meeting in front of a park. Thinking I was there first, I texted her "I'm already there, sitting next to the fat chick." I heard a beep. SHE was the "fat chick." FML

Today, I took my girlfriend out to a vegetarian-friendly restaurant. She ordered shrimp fettuccine, and I asked why. She slowly explained to me that vegetarians can eat shrimp, then muttered that she now knows who has the brains in our relationship. FML

Today, I went on a blind date that my best friend had set up for me. When I arrived, I introduced myself and we sat at the table. After we ordered our food, he asked the waiter for some crayons and a kid's menu, and colored for the half hour before our food came. He didn't talk to me at all. FML

Today, I went on a blind date, even though the whole concept freaks me out a bit. My date showed up with his sister, who sat at our table and critiqued everything we did, from how I chewed my food, to the way we nervously laughed. He hardly said a word the whole time. FML

It's the guys fault. "In case I want to kiss you later." Way to come off as a Jerk.

Yup, its because the women is a bitch... not because the guy came off as an arrogant prick.... "in case I want to kiss you later?" Who the hell says that on the first blind date? ..... I mean besides apparently many of the posters here and maybe the submissive women on the site as well who fantazise about a random dude ordering them not to order something because he may or may not want to kiss her...... Hey OP! Lrn2date.

A bit off-topic, perhaps, but is there such a thing as a second blind date? Unless you didn't look at each other the entire first blind date :p

Well he was screwed either way. Either he comes off as forward/creepy, or he stays silent and is forced to reject her anyway even if she is interested later. He could have said something like just having it near him would be enough to trigger his allergies, but I'm guessing lying like that wasn't the first thing that came to mind. Personally, I would have just said "date over, time to go home," and driven her home right then. No point in wasting each others' time at that point.

its possible to creepily mention kissing without being dismissed as an a**. Simply say "In case we want to kiss later." Obv she ordered the shrimp, who wouldn't.
