CONTENT WARNING: Sexual Assault

 

This was the worst date I had been on. He and I met on a dating site, talked for a couple of months, and then decided to go on a date. We met up at the mall. The moment I saw him — and this will sound horrible — I was bored. I even thought to myself, “I wanna go home and get online with my friends.” But I knew that was horrible to think, so I decided to force through first impressions.

We went into the mall on a four-hour date. I talk, a lot. But I have never tried so dang hard to get a guy to speak before!

Me: “So, what kind of movies do you like?”

Date: “I dunno.”

Me: “What’s your favorite color?”

Date: “I dunno.”

Me: “What do you feel like eating?”

Date: “I dunno.”

At the end of the date, he grabbed my breasts and kissed me so hard that it split my lip open when it was crushed against my teeth. Then, he stuck his tongue in my mouth and just… let it sit there… like a dead fish. I quickly pulled back.

Me: “I’m sorry, this isn’t working out.”

I was wiping the blood from my lips at this point.

Date: *Sighs* “Yeah, I kinda figured. When did you realize it?”

I didn’t want to say, “The moment I saw you,” so I lied.

Me: “When we went to lunch.”

That was about two hours in.

Date: “Really? That long?”

Me: “Yeah. When did you realize?”

Date: “When we went into [Store]. You kept trying to force me to buy a Harry Potter wand.”

That was the very first store we went into. I love “Harry Potter”, but I was being sarcastic when I said, “Oh, look! A $50 Harry Potter wand! You KNOW you want this,” complete with an eye-roll and a laugh.

So, we said our goodbyes and I headed home. I got on the dating site, and before I could block him, he sent me a message. He said we needed to talk about what had happened on the date so we could fix our mistakes and make sure we didn’t mess up with the next people we dated. I told him, “No, no. The date was bad. We don’t ever have to talk to each other again.” He tried to correct me, saying we needed this, so I blocked him.
