Courtney Hamilton’s Worst Date Story:

I went to a party and met this guy—he was 31-32—I was 17. The guy called me and asked me to come to dinner at his "new house" and—could I bring a friend? I begged my roommate to come with me and told her that it was going to be a fun, sophisticated evening with "older guys" and a "special meal" in their brand "new house.” We had to drive over an hour and a half to get to there. When we got to the address, there wasn't a house there—it was just the wooden frame of house, just the skeleton, on a cement foundation—this was the "new house.” I walked around the back and the guy and his friend were sitting around a cement fire pit with a six-pack of beer. The guy said, "You thought we were going to make dinner or something?" My roommate and I left in about 90 seconds. I don't think she ever forgave me.

Hi, I have a US address.

A few years ago I was traveling in South East Asia on my own. I was in Kuala Lumpur at the Thai embassy to get a visa. I noticed this very tall, very attractive man also in the waiting room. I didn't think anything else of it and a few minutes later I left with my visa in hand.

Much to my shock I heard someone calling after me 'you in the green top, wait up.' It was the very attractive man and he was French. I assumed that he wanted to ask about my visa, but instead he asked me out to lunch right then and there. My heart skipped a beat.

We found a nearby restaurant and ordered. Then we tried to talk. His English was extremely bad, I kept speaking more slowly and with simpler words and he couldn't understand anything. Instead of just cutting our losses he insisted on telling me that my American English was terrible and that I wasn't doing a very good job of speaking to him. He then told me that I should loose some weight and that if I wasn't going diving then I shouldn't bother to be in SEA. Strangely his spoken English was much better than his understanding of the language.

At this point I just wanted to finish my lunch, I was a backpacker after all and no money could be wasted. I had all but given up on talking to him. Then he asked if I would like to go back to his hotel room for cunnilingus. I dropped my chop sticks, noodle soup splattered around the bowl. He then asked me if it was the correct word and kept saying it over and over, louder and louder. I regained my composure and said that it was the right word, but that I was the wrong person. I finished up, left my portion of the bill and headed out the door.

I went on a date with a guy who begged me to go out with him. He had his friends beg me (this was way pre-facebook). They would come to my work and tell me how much he liked me, etc., so despite not being terribly attracted to him, I finally gave in and went out with him.

His best friend was dating my best friend, so we went on a double date to a mini golf course. We go in, and he makes no attempt to take out his wallet. So I ended up paying, for all four of us. After the mini golf, he suggests we go to Burger King - where again I had to pay. He didn't even acknowledge the fact that he didn't take out his wallet, and didn't thank me for paying for the entire date! I was a college student working at a grocery store making minimum wage!

Needless to say that was the first and last time we ever went out.
