Bloody Nose

I follow a ton of blogs but only actually read a good handful of them, one being Bella's Dateless in Dallas blog. I love her blog because it's so raw, real and funny. When I heard about her link-up about dating confessions, I knew I had to share my story. Now I haven't been on a lot of bad first dates (thank goodness) but I do have a really embarrassing date to share.

When I was in high school I met a guy named Phil (not real name). Phil and I saw each other at every football game, every lunch and almost everyday at school. Mind you, I was a freshman in high school and he was a sophomore. I thought Phil was so cute, he was my first real crush. We started running into each other more and we ended up having a few friends in common. So needless to say, we ended up starting to hang out in group settings. One day, he called and asked me to go out to dinner with him. I was so excited to go out on my first date that I started planning my perfect outfit.

The day had come to go on the date with Phil and I couldn't be more excited. He came to pick me up from my house...you know since he was a sophomore and finally had his license. We ended up going to Red Robin for burgers and fries. We sat down at our two person booth and we started talking about what high school kids talk about on a first date. We both ordered our burgers and fries and we kept talking and talking.

Once our food came, I started to get really nervous all of the sudden. So I picked up my burger and took a bite. Well on my right hand I felt a cold liquid so I put the burger down. Long be hold, I got a bloody nose on my first date while eating my burger because I was so nervous. I excused myself right away and ran to the bathroom. I called my mom and told her that I got a bloody nose and I didn't know what to do so I just started crying because I was so embarrassed. After about 15 minutes in the bathroom trying to stop the bleeding, I finally showed my face again at the table. I was so embarrassed that I got a bloody nose that I could barely finish the rest of my burger.

Believe it or not, Phil and I dated for about 3 years after this terrible date and we used to joke about it all the time. I'm sure if I ran into him now we would probably joke about it again.
