Worst Date Ever

As I sit here and try to think back many dates come to mind some great some not so great and some just plain terrible. After going over all this in my mind one date stands out that i concider to be the worse date ever, atleast for me anyway. I was about 17 going on 18 in a couple weeks and the fair was in town as it is that time every year. A few friends and I decided we were going to go that night,it was arm band night for the rides so it was a good night to go because alot of people would be there.

We all headed out a little early and stopped by the mall on our way to see if we could meet up with a few more friends that was going to the fair.when we got there just as expected there were a few of our friends heading out that way as well. Amongst the group was a long black haired girl i had seen around a few times with a friend of mine but he wasn’t around anywhere. when she heard our plans she asked if she could ride out to the fairgrounds with me so i said sure why not. Now mind you at the time i was thinking she was my buddies girl so i was merely being polite to her and offering up my kindness by letting her ride with me. On the way to the fair we had a shall i say a very interesting conversation.Turns out my friend and her were cousins and she had moved here not long ago and he was the only person she knew from here so he took her out and showed her around.My friend never told me this but i guess it wasn’t something he felt had to at the time.

We hit it off pretty good she was a very attractive girl polite and well mannered.She admitted she had talked to my friend about me a couple times cause she had seen me out and wanted to meet me.Curious as i am i asked her what he said and why didnt he introduce us and she just blew it off as he is very over protective and didn’t think i was her type.That explanation sounded fair enough but i know my buddy and i couldn’t really see him taking that attitude where im concerened for just no real reason but i went on thinking oh well no real big deal i would find out from him later if there was a problem. As the sun fell over the midway it got a little cooler and the smell of various fair foods wafted in the air i found me and her getting pretty close talking about everything we could think of she was pretty smart had lots of goals for herself really put together for a teenager which was a plus because i was just in my first semester of college I had some sort of direction and was nice to find someone that shared my vision for the future it was sorta of refreshing actually.

The night was moving on and time was flying as i realized i bought both of us arm-bands for the rides and i bet we didn’t even ride over 3 rides all night.I was surely thinking all night that my friend her cousin would be there anytime but still hadn’t showed.This was one of those nights that both felt like it would never end and then again the time seemed to be moving double time before we knew it it was time for her to be getting home so i walked her back to my truck and headed off to take her home.Now i know this sounded like one of the best dates ever but here is where the story takes the twist. On the way home me being the inquisitive person i am it bothered me why my friend would want to keep me from dating his cousin who obviously was perfect for me in many ways it just wasnt like him we were pretty close at the time and shared our private lives with each other all the time and i know he would want me happy and im sure would want the same for his cousin. He had to know i would be a good guy to her and treat her well. This was really bothering me at this point.

So as we pull up to her house we sat and talked about how well the night went and how well we got along she told me she liked me alot and hoped that what she was about to tell me didnt matter.Well that sentence was enough to make my stomach do flip flops because im sure many of you have been in that situation just waiting for the too good to be true bomb to drop right in your lap.I said ok i hope it doesnt either because i like you as well,so just go ahead and tell me it cant be that bad. She started by saying well i know why my cousin didnt approve of this i just didnt want to tell you earlier because we were having a great night and i wanted you to see how great i can be… Ok at this point im really getting worried now and i said will you just tell me what it is . With a sigh and her head held down she peeked up and said im only 13 i just look alot older than i am it gets me into trouble alot i just wanted it to be ok this time. Now me speechless of course not knowing whether to crawl under my seat or throw her out and drive away found myself in the most awkward position i could have ever got myself into told her she was a great girl with a good head on her shoulders but i was too old for her.

I have to say after having the night of my life it turned out to be the worse day of my life i couldn’t believe it she was so mature and had her future so well thought out i would have never guessed nor would any one else for that matter that she was ony thirteen. Needless to say after that night i was very cautious in choosing my dates.
