GOOD DATES
“My girlfriend went all out for me on Valentine’s Day. She picked me up from work and took
me to her house so we could change and get ready to go out. We went to the typical
places, dinner and a movie, and I thought that was the end of the night. When we got to
my place and I opened my room door, there were rose petals everywhere and a big heart
made with them on the bed. In the middle of the heart were chocolates and a watch she
bought me. As I walked to the bathroom there was water in the tub, candles around it and
rose peddles floating in the water. I felt like the luckiest guy in the world.”

“My most creative date was planned on a rooftop. When she asked me out I thought it
would be the typical dinner and a movie. We pulled up to a tall building and she said,
‘We’re here.’ My mind wandered as I asked myself ‘Where am I?’ She blindfolded me,
took my hand and led me to the most beautiful scene I have ever seen. It was a rooftop
dinner filled with sweet pink tea roses and the aroma was like a fantasy. I found this date to
be the most creative and it was totally unexpected. We ate my favorite meal, shrimp
Parmesan pasta with garlic bread, and I tasted champagne for the first time.”

HELL DATES:
“We decided to go to the movies, which we were already 20 minutes late for. As I was
walking to get my boyfriend some popcorn I slipped and fell on the girl in front of me. After
the movie, we stopped at Walgreen’s before going home. I was letting my boyfriend drive
because I was tired and as we were about to drive off he pulled my gear handle off and we
couldn’t get the car out of park. We were stuck in the parking lot for an hour and 30
minutes, at 1 o’clock a.m.”
-Shay Simpkins
“My hell date was when I went out with a dude who basically couldn’t stop drooling out of
his mouth and his breath smelled like old onions. Then he was the type who wanted to talk
to you face-to-face, real close up. When I told him to give me ‘50 feet’ he got offended, I
guess he thought I was criticizing him because of his breath, and he left crying.”
-Tia Daley
“The worst date I have been on was at someone’s house. Even though I was totally aware
of the environment I still tried to be open-minded. While we were watching a movie in the
front room, my date’s baby brother came and used the bathroom on the floor and it
smelled terrible. I didn’t want to say anything but before I could play it cool, she farted. I
almost lost my mind! So I told her I was kind of hungry thinking we would leave and get a
bite to eat, when she went in the kitchen and made us homemade grilled cheese
sandwiches and they were nasty! Ugh! That was my HELL DATE!”
