What's the worst date you've ever had?

I went out with a Mexican girl once that I thought was really pretty. I was 18. It was our first date and I really didn't know her yet. I had just moved to Texas and just couldn't get over how pretty the girls here were.

Her dad showed up at the restaurant and asked us to come outside. When I got outside, he sucker-punched me in the side of the head. Not terribly hard, but enough to make me take a step back and reevaluate my budding relationship with that young lady.

As I collected myself, he pulled a small black pistol from his jacket and told me that his daughter wouldn't be dating any "white boys." That caught me off guard. Not because I'm an arrogant white guy and couldn't understand why anyone wouldn't want to date a white guy. But, because I had NO idea that Mexican wasn't considered white. I was from northern Minnesota. My brother is white (different dad) but is VERY olive toned skin. It just never occurred to me that Hispanic wasn't considered "white."

Once I saw the gun, it was like time slowed down and everything came into focus. I could think and act with complete calm. Seriously, I was as cool as Steve McQueen. I looked at the window of the restaurant and the employees were just standing there watching. No one was thinking to call the cops, obviously. I remember thinking I had two choices. One, take the gun away from his drunken fat ass and beat him until he yelled "UNCLE!" Two, say whatever I need to say to make this guy happy and leave this place "unventilated." I chose the second for one reason, and one reason only....I'm not tough. I said "yes sir" and "no sir" at all the appropriate times.

He left with her. By the time I got home, I was no longer calm, cool or collected. I was scared to death. Shaking. My roommates, bolstered by the fact that we were in our own place, were wanting to go and kick some ass....as long as we didn't try and actually go kick some ass.

AND THEN...the phone rings. It's her. She and her mom are on the phone trying to tell me that dad was just drunk and they would convince him it was OK to date a white boy. I declined their most gracious offer and reminded them that I had made her dad several promises that I intended to keep.

That date sucked.
