Worst Date Ever?

By lex, on April 28th, 2008

John Hawkins is running another of his posts about conservative women/bloggers in which he asks about their worst dates ever. For my money, Megan McArdle bears the bell away with her dinner date:

The food came, I started to eat it, and after the first bite, and he actually made a joke about women eating sausage that made me not able to eat any more food.

Also, as he drank more, he started trying to grab my knee under the table — I’d known him now for an hour and a half. The service was really slow, which was just making it worse… I was so mad at this point because he was like a hydra. I’d slap one hand away and four more would grow in its place…

Then we got up to leave and we walked outside and he was like, “Would you like to come back to my place for a nightcap?” …It was around 8 o’clock at night. I was like, “First of all, it’s 8 o’clock and my night’s not quite capped. Second of all, I wouldn’t go back to your apartment because I just met you.” ….Then he looked at me and said, “Well then, how are you planning to pay for dinner?”
