Dating...my bad

Those of you who've read my dating posts in the past know I've had a few adventures, some good and some bad. Well last night I gave a guy a chance to tell his friends and family that I was a totally lame date. I tried to make it up to him but lets be honest, the damage was done.

So here's the story...Random boy, we'll call him Bob (not his name) and I were meeting at a park to take a walk and chat and get to know each other. (Tangent...for those of you who haven't dated in the past few years, this is a typical no strings, cheap, random encounter for on-line daters. Public enough in case he's a freak and the scenery is enjoyable) Anyway, moving on, I drove up and parked my car next to his and got out. Greetings were casual and typical...smiles, nice to meet ya, hug, etc. I had my purse on my shoulder but had not shut the door to my car. After chatting for a few minutes I threw my purse in the car and shut the door. Realizing at that moment that my keys were in my purse and I had locked the doors. Thus my purse, phone, keys, etc. were safely locked inside my car while my date and I were outside it.

I NEVER DO THIS! NOT EVER!!

I know what you're thinking, great first impression...lol. At that moment I was mortified. I had a spare key at home, 20 min away, but wasnt even sure I could get in the house. My phone was in the car so I couldnt call anyone, and I had only met poor Bob 5 minutes ago. Luckily he was super sweet and drove me home to get my extra keys. Fortunatly I knew where they were, my roommate was home and we got back to my car safe and sound. Surprisingly he was not totally turned off and we had good conversation during the drive. What a great date I am!:) So, jokes aside...we all have stories and sometimes we provide others with them as well.

Ha ha ha! I'm sure he got a good laugh out of it. Lucky for you he was not a scary woman snatcher guy. You would have been an easy target.

I totally feel your pain. I think I did that three times in one year. Not with a date though. Remember, even once at your house! I have to say though, I have been really good in recent years and haven't got locked out!
