volonteering leads to bad things....no one is meant to work for free......The worst date ever

If I had figured out this blog page earlier you would all have been privy to the ins and outs of my life coz alot of strange things do happen to me...well okay not strange I just put myslef in the most akward of situations and this one is priceless......

It all started when i decided to volunteer my services to the student body council .... they were having some kind of career day at uni where by they arrange for different companies to come to the school set up booths and students can have a chance to meet and talk to possible employers.....Am very anti social been studyin in this Uni for almost three years and not once have I done anything close to school spirit or any crap like that but i got tricked into this ......ma friend was supposed to sign up with me but she conviniently forgot so there I was stuck....leading up to this thing they had meetings preparing how where what was to be done...mind you these are pple who enjoy volunteering and meeting other pple and me for the life of me I cant figure out why I wld wanna make small talk with people I dont know and dont care to know.......Anyway the volunteerers varried .....we had the IT pple ...they took care of hookin up computers, all the tech part of it. Then we had the Lunch pple to see that coffee was flowing, snacks were plentiful and the lunch shifts for both the companies and the volunteerers  ....we had the admins who had organised the whole thing, made sure there were sponsers for  food drink etc .....and then there was us the lowest ranks .....we were basically slaves did anything and everything from maning the car park..... giving directions ......fixing the carpet ....maning the coatroom etc so we decided that in order for pple not to get bored and feel cheated we would rotate the shifts so that everyone did all the jobs......so u are wondering how this leads to me going on a date from hell mmmmm am getting there........our Uni has two compuses the main one where here where I go and another one in the neighboring town (40 mins by train we get free train passes to that town) so this thing had to be set up first in that town then transport all  that stuff back to the main town and set it up again.....All that went according to plan and because i had a presentation the next day and was sick as well  requested to  sit and watch the coat room coz nothin was goin on there and thus I cld read for ma presentation (besides it was boring there no one really wanted to sit there) .....so am sitting there reading my book and pple keep coming in the coat room is right out side the student pub which was closed that day pple didnt know this so they kept coming and trying to open the door ignoring the big sign that was saying closed for the day....so I lept having to look up from ma book and shout out Det stängt .....swedish for its closed ......so thats how I met ma future bad date.

He like all the other blind pple missed the sign and was busy trying to open the door so ....am like its closed but unlike other pple he just walked up to the counter thing and he starts making some small talk.....I kept wondering why he wasnt leaving, it is very unsual for a swedish guy to just walk up to a random person and just start hittin on you...... if you cld call it that......pple kept comin up to get and hang up their jackets and bags and everytyme i was done with them he was still there .....then ma friend came and I was talkin to him for a while completely forgetting about that guy only to realise that he was still there pretending to read some newspaper.....when ma friend left he started talking again i didnt wanna be rude so I asked a few qs nodded like i was listening and discovered that he was from the other compus he didnt even live in ma town he was from the other town.....all the while tyme is flying and he  missed a number of trains so finally he asks for ma number and well I gave it to him ....i was cornered had no choice.

Few days go by he calls we talk he asks me out ...already I know we have nothing in common but ma friends keep saying am too picky and that I never give people chances so i decide why not. Man was I wrong ...first we cldnt agree on what to do........like I said nothing in common.....we finally settled on meeting up to eat....i decided Uni is neutral and I can always make a run for it if its lame......i didnt tell ma friends that i was meeting him so I sneak off when he calls.....soon as i see him I know it was a bad idea he is standing there in this big ass fluffy PURPLE jacket, jeans and some White leather dressy shoes .......picture it .....but am nice am not about to diss the poor man coz he has on some butt ugly jacket and some fucked up shoes....so we head over to the student pub sit and start the longest most boring date in the histroy of dating....we have nothing to talk about we spend most of the tyme staring at walls and trying to make small talk the silences are unbearable and to make it worse on this particular day too many good lookin guys in the pub .....then in walks some gals I know they have a field day givin me knowing signs and looks and i wanna just get up and say no it aint like that but well i cant ......i get a mess from am sis....saved by the bell ...she is in town and wants to meet me ...so I tell the guy and he is like ok you want me to wait .....am like huh wait nonono that wldnt be fair so we walk to town and he is like are we going to your place am like nope am going to meet ma sister at her friends house so I guess u have to take the train back ....I give ma apologies a quick hug and he is like so when can we meet again...in my mind am thinkin were we on the same date it was dead dead dead....anyway I murmur something about exams papers busy we will see and make a get away....now thats ma date from hell ....he hasnt called me yet but if he does I gotta find ways to say sorry no thanx Big Smile 

anyway thats why you shldnt volunteer nothing good comes out of it all I got for my efforts was a t shirt back ache and a Stalker

Volunteering can be fun, but I think you made a big mistake by giving this person you phone number.  He could have been a serial killer looking for his next victim.............LOL

Interesting to know what gals think about on dates! I think u shd spare yrselves a worse date & give him more excuses to put it off.

Otherwise volunteering shdnt take the blame for the 'date from hell'. It actually does increase job prospects after uni.

I got a date from hell for you.  I was in germany and my friend was dating this german chic.  She had two friends and we always was going to the discos togather.  So finally she deceideds to hook up on of her friends on a date with me.  We were planning to go to a movie theater, prearrange that me and the date was on one of the love seats at the theater and hopefully kick it off.  We all arrived earlier than the movie to have some time to talk.  The whole time I am eyeing this chic and smiling at her.  There was the 5th wheel chic there that I absolutly ignored, except for like small talk.  We all ate ice cream had a few drinks and then the movie was about to start.  So we line up to go inside and then it happened.  The chic that I had been ignoring all night was really my date.  She sat down next to me and we watched the movie in silence.  AAhhhhh, the horrors of not knowing enough german language at the time, or even my friend helping me out.  Needless to say after the movie we parted ways and i lost out on a chance with two chics, because the one that I was giving my attention thought that I was a jerk for ignoring her friend, and the other one was ignored. ---end of story---
