We began talking on the phone and, since everything seemed fine, I invited her on a museum date. Now I’m all for jokes and I absolutely love to laugh, but I know better than to be loud and obnoxious in a museum. This woman, let’s call her The Spitter, was so loud and ignorant in the museum [think loud speaker announcements in grade school] making all types of inappropriate jokes and comments. Needless to say, I was happy when we reached the end of the exhibit and exited the museum. I was ready to take The Spitter home, but I sucked it up and took her to the food court in a nearby mall because she said she was hungry. I didn’t think The Spitter was worth anything more than Chick-Fil-A, so that’s what she got. On our way out, she wanted to stop in a shoe store and I obliged. As I was perusing the men’s shoes, The Spitter came over to me and asked me to buy her a pair of shoes. When I said “no”, she threw a damn TEMPER TANTRUM. I’m talking “bad ass toddler you see in the street and wanna take your belt off to beat” type of tantrum. THIS DATE IS OVER!!!! I immediately left the store and The Spitter followed. I started to make her catch a cab [Uber wasn’t around yet; otherwise, I would’ve gotten one for her], but my mom raised a gentleman, so I decided to just take her home. On the drive home, we were listening to some hip hop and I said I liked lyrics with substance, but she disagreed which was fine until she started calling me out my name. I pulled over on the highway and told her if she didn’t stop, I would put her out of my car…she remained quiet until we got near her house. Then she yelled “I’ll get out here” and I pulled over. As she got out, she spit [yes, SPIT] into the car in my direction, slammed the door, and walked off. Fortunately for her, no spit got on me and somehow landed outside of the driver’s side of my car because the window was down. It literally took EVERYTHING in me not to hurt her. I pulled off and began calling female acquaintances to clear my mind, but ended up having to calm them down because they wanted to kill her. The Spitter lives and I hope she never spit at anyone else again.   Sincerely, The Black Focker   What would you do in this situation? Has a date ever spat on you? Would you have taken her home or left her to fend for herself? Comment below! Submit your relationship & bad date stories to info@thisdateisover.com.

Here are some dating do’s and don’ts that we’ve compiled to help you along the way. Do Pick Up The Phone Texting can be quick and easy, but so many things can get lost in translation and misinterpreted. Don’t rely on texting to be your primary or only means of communication and don’t ask someone out, especially on a first date, via text. Pick up the phone. Do Plan The Date If you ask someone on a date, especially a first date, plan the date. Don’t wing it and don’t invite someone to your home or “to chill” on a first date. It doesn’t have to be elaborate or expensive, but have a plan outside of the home that taps into something that the both of you will enjoy. Having a plan shows that you are interested and putting forth an effort which is a HUGE turn on. It’s ok to wing it every once in a while, but we recommend having a plan more often than not. Do Be On Time The two of you agreed on a time that worked for the both of you, so be mindful of that and prepare yourself to be there as scheduled. Tardiness can be a total buzzkill and you don’t want to start off the date on the wrong foot. Do Keep The Lines Of Communication Open Although sh*t happens and extenuating circumstances such as a major traffic incident, family emergency, etc. may cause you to be late or to have to cancel, be sure to communicate that to your date as SOON as possible. Don’t wait until the last minute to make your date aware of these changes. If the date was scheduled for 6pm, calling your date at 6:30pm to make them aware of major changes or tardiness is probably not going to go over well. You knew at 5:30pm that you weren’t going to make it on time, so communicate that and save yourself the potential headache of a having pissed off date. Do Make It Up Right Away As we said before, sh*t happens and there may be some instances, to your date’s chagrin, that you will have to cancel…perhaps you have to work late or you cannot find sitter. Don’t cancel via text. Instead, pick up the phone and call your date. Understand that your date will probably be upset and rightfully so – I mean they were looking forward to seeing you and set time aside in their schedule to be with you – but don’t let their disappointment linger. Make it up QUICKLY by establishing and executing a plan B that is equal to or greater than the date that you cancelled. Do Pay For The Date If you invite someone on a first date, pay for the date. Don’t ask to split the check. That should NOT even be an option on a first date, especially if you want to have date number two. Going “Dutch” is tacky. Do Mind Your Manners I hate to even have to include this, but be respectful of your date and conduct yourself accordingly. In other words, act like you have some damn sense. Don’t chew with your mouth open or be obnoxiously loud. Be kind to the server and/or service staff and please by all means do NOT eat from your date’s plate uninvited [unless you want to die or get stabbed lol]. Be a lady/gentleman. Do Focus On Your Date It’s very important to be present while on your date. This includes actively engaging in conversation, making eye contact, and, most importantly, putting your cell phone away. The texts, emails, and phone calls can be put on hold for an hour or two so that you can focus on your date. Ignore calls/texts and not your date. Do Have Something To Talk About Ideally, conversations will flow on a date, but always have something (non-confrontational) in your back pocket to discuss. Don’t monopolize the conversation and minimize all conversations about your ex because nobody wants to hear that sh*t. Also don’t name drop or boast about how much money you have/make because, again, nobody (of substance) wants to hear that sh*t. Do Look Presentable This is a date…I repeat, THIS IS A DATE, so look the part and put your best face forward. Shave, trim, primp, press, iron, bathe, brush, comb, contour, etc. to showcase your best you. Don’t show up looking like who done it and why. Do Say Thank You When all is said and done (even if you don’t feel a connection), thank the person for the date. They could’ve been anywhere in the world, but they decided to be with you, so show some gratitude. Sincerely, The Non-Expert Dater What would you add to the list?
