What was your most memorable romantic fiasco?

Yeah, don’t remind of that… the last time was the guy supposed to visit my place the first time, but he changed the plan last minute and went to clubs instead, ended up his place again but then I had my those days so couldn’t really have fun. He wasn’t impressed I think and then it went downhill….Sometimes it was out of my control, and people just don’t have the patient any more…

This guy and I were 18, had been dating for a few weeks, and planned to have sex for the first time together (his first ever time). I strung Christmas lights around my dorm room and I cued up my Buena Vista Social Club CD—excellent for love-making.

However, the cd was burned when my computer was dying. To minimize cds used to save my music (before external harddrives), I put an album on a cd followed by some random songs.

Everything was going great, but, sure enough, Buena Vista ended. Here are the songs that came on after:
1. Lesbian Seagull, from “Beavis and Butthead do America;”
2. “Oy to the World,” a Klezmir christmas rendition;
3. This silly song friends and I wrote with me singing;
And best of all…
4. An a cappella version of “The Lonely Goatherd” from the Sound of Music.

That one was actually first. I figured getting up to change it would be more disruptive to the deflowering than was worth, so I just hoped he didn’t notice. I’m sure he did. Surpisingly, we even had sex again a few times that year!

We went up to a condo’ in the snow with another couple for a weekend. We hadchampagne, munchies, we walked the old town at night and had a great dinner, enjoyed live jazz, everything so fun. Once back at the condo’ the other couple started fighting, we went outside to smoke and started arguing about the arguing couple inside. Mr. went inside and I went for a walk, drunk out of my skull, slipped down an embankment and body slammed onto a frozen pond where I laid for a few hours until found and taken into emergency overnight. Fun trip over!

On my wife and I’s first date, I took her to a nice seafood restaurant and ordered a nice wine to go with our meal. Unfortunately, they carded her and she was not 21 yet (by a couple months) so we had soft drinks. Then we went to a club downtown with no incident. Then, as I was taking her home, I got rear-ended by some yo-yo on the on ramp to the freeway to take her home. The Glove box door fell open and my gun fell out into her lap. (I had picked it up from repair shop on the way to pick her up) I am surprised she agreed to go out with me again.

A little back story. So when I met my wife she had a mug, something about the perfect man on it and part of if was must have season ballet and football tickets.
.
Move forward a couple of years. As a newly married couple without children we got to do a lot. We made it to all the University of Tennessee football games in 1998. It was an exciting year, our team made to the conference championship.
.
I had purchased my wife tickets to the Nutcracker Ballet. When I gave her the tickets she was excited but after she takes a good look at them she says, “oh no”. Well actually she said “OH NO!!!!”
.
I had purchased the tickets the same night as the SEC football game.
.
Well by the end of the night we did it all. We went to the ballet, bolted out of there as bows were occurring and saw the second half and most exciting half of the game. BTW, UT went on to win the National Championship that year.

My ex-gf wanted to get back together for the week she was in town. We had a great time the first few nights, and planned a huge thing on Saturday night. My friends came over, and we had a great time with them. Pizza, drinking, games. Everyone went home happy, and she gave me a long, seductive kiss, and went to the bathroom to change.
While in the restroom, she called out “I have good news!”, which was her way of saying she suddenly knew she wasn’t pregnant. That ended the evening.
