My WORST “Chow” Date

It all started with my best friend telling me I should give guys a chance when they ask me out. Because I’m very closed off. So I was at Walmart and this guy comes up to me and asks me for my number and against my better judgment I decided to come out of my shell and say sure! So that night he asked me out to get dinner and we agreed to go to Applebee’s at 7pm.

So naturally I went home got all dolled up did my hair, makeup, and put on a cute dress. And headed out. I got to Applebees at 6:55 because I didn’t want him to think I was late to everything so when I went in and he wasn’t there I wasn’t too surprised. Not everyone likes to be early is what I told myself.

Eventually 7:10 rolled in and I grabbed my own table because I didn’t want to be waiting around looking stupid waiting for a guy whom I wasn’t even sure was going to show up. He finally showed up at a cool 7:20 and as he walked in I immediately smacked myself in the face because he was wearing a wife beater and basketball shorts caring a grenade shaker.

Thankfully, he did apologize for being late he said he came straight from the gym. Now forgive me if I’m weird but, normally I like to shower and make myself presentable for my date especially since it’s our first date. I tried not to pay my dates lack of decorum much mind and carried on.

As the waiter came around to put in our order he says he’s just going to have his shake and for me to order whatever I want. As the creature of habit I am I ordered the shrimp fettuccine. He said he wished he could eat like me but, he’s gotta keep his figure and proceeded to tell me about what the military was like (he didn’t realize I was previously in) and about his workout routine.

After we are he told me “I need to utilize the latrine” I think it was that moment that I realized I goofed. As we left he asked me if “I enjoyed chow” and he’d love to see me again. He also asked me to give him a ride to his car which he said he had parked in the back to avoid anyone hitting him.

I definitely was sketched out like oh boy here’s when I die. I also was thinking this man better have a nice car cause who tf is parking all the way behind the building to avoid getting hit and much to my surprise I saw the biggest rust bucket I’ve ever seen. It all made sense because if anyone hit it, the thing would fall apart.

He tried to kiss me good night which I jerked my head away and he ended up kissing my hair. I gave him a hug and said bye. Thankfully I’ve never seen him since
