That’s a buzz kill from hellI was discussing the above disaster with a friend who reminded me of another awkward moment.
It was summertime and everyone was home from school. My friend had starting dating a very attractive girl and felt like things were moving along swimmingly. He arrived at the house for what was to be the fourth date replete with flowers, chocolates and, I'm sure, a fully loaded wallet. He walks in to find that the young lady had just told the family that she was preggers by some other guy in Knoxville. She was catching hell from the whole family.
Good things happen when you put your best face forward!January 1990 I was set up on a blind date. Before the meet time A friend and I were riding the strip in our town. We saw a car full of girls (we didn’t know). My friend pulled along side and I stuck my bare rear out the window beside them and gave them a good moon.
We then went to the meeting spot the same car pulled in with us. I thought we might be meeting these girls and a blind date to show up later; however my blind date was driving the car I had mooned.
Not necessarily “worst date”……..wasn’t even bad…….just really awkward. Still going strong through…….30+ years later.

Cool storyI can tell you how I ruined a date once. I was a junior in college, and I was going to take this girl I just met to dinner and a play one evening. I worked very early that morning, from like 5-10am, then went to class. I planned on taking a nap from 4-5pm before picking her up. I woke up at 8pm and a couple of voicemails (my phone was on silent). I called back and apologized. I felt awful. She was disappointed, but happy I was okay. We still met for dinner that night and then got married 18 months later.
Was she as good looking as her sister or the girl from across the street?Here is one that I would prefer to forget - but worth a chuckle - actually the topic made me remember.
So this occurred here at UT. My neighbor from across the street - member of a sorority - decides she is going to fix me up with someone else in the sorority. I was crazy shy at the time - extremely uncomfortable around people that I didn't know and wasn't familiar with.
Also didn't have a ton of dating experience - why she selected me for this mission - we may never know.
So I reluctantly agree - and we are set and I am going to be meeting her at a restaurant on the strip. Did I mention I was nervous. Now the girl that I was going to be on the blind date with was Chris ( Chrissie ) Evert's sister.
And this was back when Chris Evert was famous - totally the most well known female athlete in the world - America's sweetheart - constantly on tv etc. etc.
So - no added pressure once I learn that right
I would like to say that the date went great - but I was so incredibly nervous that I quickly downed a drink - followed by half a dozen more. And I didn't drink back then - but I was nervous so .......
That's about all I can remember from the night - I assume she made it back to her dorm - I somehow made it back to mine - I just remember getting very drunk, very fast - the rest is a blur.
