Despite the fact that no one got almost-raped, the guy wasn't an asshole, the girl wasn't stuck-up, and no vegetarians were harmed in the making of this date, it was still a bad date. A bad date with a happy ending, but nonetheless.<br /><br />I agree with your frustrations about the people on this site being too quick to say "This wasn't a bad date!" just because it wasn't some God-awful, horrible event. There are many differing degrees of "bad," and this certainly falls in the spectrum.Claire (and Nikki)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03946625511421997222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-86885050422846399682010-05-13T14:59:19.520-04:002010-05-13T14:59:19.520-04:00Yawn.Yawn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-33363827195124627082010-05-13T14:24:16.893-04:002010-05-13T14:24:16.893-04:00Thanks, all.

We were all knocking back the brews and I guess we were kinda drunk.<br /><br />By accident I pressed the cast button on the back swing and sent the lure and hook into the cheek of a woman on the other side of dock. She screamed in pain, stumbled and fell into the water. I reeled her in trying not to let the hook slip out (I wasn't sure if she could swim).<br /><br />When the others pulled her up I went over with pliers and got it out. I was careful so there wouldn't an ugly wound and scar tissue, in case we decided to get married. Right now we're still just dating.<br /><br />Oh, the scar? Not bad on the way back to town we stopped at a tattoo parlour. They sterilized the hole and put piercing in.Seven-thirtynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-28495734100732064592010-05-13T10:57:55.963-04:002010-05-13T10:57:55.963-04:00Hahaha, love it!

If so, ...Nikki, were you responding to my comment?<br /><br />If so, what I mean is that people get so worked up on here when JMG posts a bad date when one of the parties isn't an asshole. You don't have to have your date be an asshole where the guy refuses to drive you home until he gets a blowie for it to be a bad date.<br /><br />Some people don't understand that even two people with chemistry and a happy ending can start off with a date that goes awry, which is still a bad date.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624197135460380925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-2235638371734822922010-05-13T10:24:23.210-04:002010-05-13T10:24:23.210-04:00Yeah, I was not feeling the "No, no, I totall...Yeah, I was not feeling the "No, no, I totally am going to ignore what's happening and just bleed over everything" bit.

His date falls into the water, bashes up her leg, is totally stubborn about getting help. She gets drunk on his boat and bleeds EVERYWHERE.<br /><br />Then again, he DID get to act the hero and patch her up in the end.
