This wasn't a date, but when I was in high school we had a horror video night at a friend's. Afterwards, at about midnight, we all went down to the park - it's got a lake, hence fog, and bush, etc, so a nice creeply place to be at midnight after watching horror flicks. Anyway, we all climbed up on the monkey bars and I thought I saw a man walking towards us across the sports oval, so I'm trying to see through the fog in the distance and getting a bit freaked out and I'm tapping the girl next to me on the shoulder as if to silently say "hey, look over there - can you see that guy?" Only problem was, because I was so transfixed on the prospective axe murderer, I wasn't really watching where I was tapping and, um, let's just say I missed her shoulder :x
Oops!
This wasn't a date either, but Chris' story has reminded me of one of mine. I was heading home late one winter's night from a night-club (back in my youth, haha). I was ALONE and on foot, 'cos the rest of the party still wanted to boogie and it was less than a 'k home. As I crossed under a street-light I could see in the distance behind me a man also walking by himself. He was wearing tight-fitting pants, maybe, like those jogging suits, and a beanie on his head.
I left the pool of light and crossed the railway line, glancing behind me every now and then to make sure the man wasn't trying to catch up with me. As he moved further into the light I could see that his beanie was bright blue, and it looked like maybe he was wearing jodpurs for riding, you know, those skin-colored pants that horse-riders wear? As I reached the far side of the tracks he staggered a little, spotlighted in the glow of the streetlight.
I decided to walk a little faster to get to the phone booth up ahead.
The skin colored jodpurs were just... um... skin, and the blue beanie on his head was, um, actually his underpants. I called the cops from the phone booth to tell them there was a VERY cold man walking home along ****** Street, and they should come and pick him up immediately before he froze to death. I walked slightly faster the rest of the way home, but it was quite uneventful after that.
Here’s one that embarrassing but it’s so long ago it’s ‘water under the bridge’.
Nearly two thirds of a lifetime ago while at Bible College, I had been out few times with a guy (who was of really nice). So when the college open day came around I asked him to come.
We were standing up the back of the rally which had just started, when I heard a shriek behind us. I quickly turned around and saw a child had fallen into the fish pond in front of the Principal’s house. ‘Quick’ I said, as I gave him a small push. (I had a long dress on as was the fashion in the early 70’s) He raced across the tennis court and jumped straight into the pond and hauled the child out. (Ohhh .. my hero !!!)
One staff, had noticed what was going on and one took him over to his house to find him some dry clothes. My friend returned wearing pants about 4 inches too short with no shoes. We sat up the back for the rest of the proceedings and giggled about the sort pants.
Later in the day we dried his clothes and he left in saying he’d be seeing me….. I never did……
??? My 'penalty' for ‘telling’ him to - jump in the “lake” ??????
Lorraine, hmmmm, I would like to hear his side of the story. Maybe he was too embarrassed to face you after the daggy clothing he wore. You never know, maybe he secretly waited for you to phone him ?
Hmmm mine wasn't on a date but was on here. I had been looking at some profiles and had one or two open. I decided to right a friendly hello to someone and open up a conversation because we had something in common. It would have helped if I had typed the RIGHT name.
I got a rather terse reply. Oh well, at least she replied. O_0
Hey Chris I like your new profile pic....Just sent you a wave. When will we all hear some more of your wisdom on here ?
Ok, you heard it here first, no, seriously this really happened and I don't know why but it's still as vivid as the day it happened many, many moons ago! I was 18, ready to celebrate the final year of schooling with my friends as you do. I was wearing a lovely white flowing dress and my stilletoes and was hoping to bump into Brad ....an older guy in his twenties I had met once or twice who I secretly had the hots for, who said he'd be at the same place I was going. I had been rushing as I got in the cab and then hopped out and was walking along a nearby street to the place I was going, when I noticed Brad and his mate pull up in their car. He yelled out, 'your dress'. To my horror I realised that in my haste, I'd accidently tucked up the back of my dress into my undies and I'd been walking along the main street with my undies and backside in full view of everyone passing by. I thought the wolf whistles were because I looked so damn hot!!
We are here to enjoy life as well
