My Worst Date

The worst date I went on includes all of the dates I went on in college. I didn't have a good date while I was in college. I will talk about the worst one.

Bradyn had asked me out a week earlier. He seemed nice enough. I had gone out with cuter guys before, but he seemed nice.

We had decided to go to the movies. That was about the only thing we could do in the small cowboy town of Colton. I was going to go pick him up because he didn't have a car. I smiled. College students didn't have much in the way of money or things in Colton, but we made do.

I drove over to the dorm to pick up Bradyn. I was looking great as usual. I only hoped that he had put some effort into his attire. I had been on a date a couple of weeks earlier who had shown up in a torn and wrinkled t-shirt. I shook my head and hoped for the best.

I walked up to Bradyn's door and knocked. When I opened the door, his roommate opened the door. Bradyn's roommate was cuter than Bradyn. I reminded myself that I was here to see Bradyn, not his roommate. Bradyn's roommate called Bradyn. A few minutes later, Bradyn walked into the room. He looked nice. He had on a starched polo shirt and some starched blue jeans. I sighed in relief as we walked to the door.

We drove the movie theater without much conversation. If it had not been for the music that was playing on the stereo, it would have been totally silent.

We reached the theater. We got out of the car and walked to the front door of the theater. I waited a brief moment for him to open the door, but he didn't. I opened the door for myself and then walked into the theater. He walked in behind me. We walked up to the ticket counter to purchase the tickets. He purchased two tickets for the movie. We headed for the second set of doors that lead directly into the theater. I was tempted to give him another chance at opening the door for me, but I didn't want to get my feelings hurt again. I opened the door for myself and walked through.

I was about to walk to the concession stand, but Bradyn grabbed me around my waist and said, "You don't want any popcorn, do you?" I made a face and walked towards the theater as I was directed. I did want some popcorn. I wasn't going to get large popcorn. I would have gotten a small box, but I wasn't even given a chance.

The movie would have been enjoyable if Bradyn hadn't constantly kept kissing me and trying to fondle me. I thwarted his movements as much as I could. Finally, I said, "I would really like to watch the movie." He made a face and let me watch the movie. The movie was finally over. I was more than happy.

We arrived at his dorm and we sat in the car for a few minutes. We talked for awhile. He finally asked, "Do you want to go inside and hang out for awhile?" I said, "Yes." I am still trying to figure that one out. We got out of the car and then we walked into his dorm room. His roommate was there watching a movie. Bradyn pushed me passed the living room and into his bedroom. Bradyn's roommate asked, "Ya'll aren't going to get busy on the first date are you?" I made a face and thought to myself, "No way!"

No sooner than we had entered the room, Bradyn closed the door to his room and then started to kiss me. I let him kiss me for a few second before I pushed away from him. I looked at him and said, "I am going to go home. It is getting late." He smiled and then tried to kiss me again. I backed away and got to the door as quickly as I could. I opened the door and walked through the living room to the front door.

I shook my head as I drove home. I silently vowed to never go on another date until I graduated from college.
