Another Glasses Story - World's Worse Date?

I was never any good at the whole dating thing. In fact, I was terrible. Case in point:

A young lady friend and I decided to go camping up in Flagstaff. We were working up in Prescott at the Y-Camp, and we had 24 hours off. Her dad had a membership in the Continental Country Club...so we thought...a little dinner, a little dancing...you bet!

The dinner was great. Both of us were a bit underdressed for the Country Club...we were after all camping. But the food was awesome and the dancing was fun too. No big sparks were flying though, so I suppose for someone it might have been a disappointment. For me, I was just having fun.

We camped out in a nearby Forest Service Camping area. Sometime during the night I must have rolled over on my glasses and smashed them. Oh yeah...another Nick and Glasses story. Ha Ha. They were smashed into pieces, and we had nothing there camping to fix them with.

My car at the time was a old Willy's Jeep Wagoneer, with a manual transmission. My friend could not drive a manual. So it was up to me, blind as a rock to get us back to camp. I think we ended up driving about 30 miles an hour back to Prescott. I was holding up on side of my glasses to my eye manually the whole time.

Poor girl, must have been convinced she had met the world's biggest nerd loser ever.... (who takes a girl on a date in a 57 Jeep Wagoneer anyway....ha ha ha ha...not exactly a romance wagon).

To make matters even worse....she later told me that her Dad had sent her the bill from the Country Club...he had told her that he was not going to pay for her shennanigans (ok sure, he might not have used that word :) ). She asked me if I would pay for it, and I told her 'No'.

'No'? Are you kidding me??? What was I thinking?  'M*****' (name withheld to protect the innoncent !!!), if you ever read this....please send me the bill and I will pay for it now. I am willing to repent for every single one of my early dating faux pas (and there were a lot of them  :) ).
