He's Allergic

Worst date number two, their really really tied as in which experience is truly my worst date.

The guy shows up to the date five minutes late. "Sorry I just came from my doctor for an allergy shot" I check to make sure he's okay. He says he's fine and has to get them twice a month, or something like that. He's cute, blond haired and blue eyed, has a great smile. So I'm trying not to red flag him right away.

We start on small talk as we get drinks. Fifteen minutes into the date his lower lip starts to swell, at first I’m not sure it’s a swelling, after all I don’t know the guy, he could just have big red lips. Then they start to grow, like an air mattress.

“Are you okay, your lip is swelling” I ask
“NO, my lip does this every once in a while. I’ll be fine.” I cringe a little.
“Dude, I’m serious, it’s getting bigger. You should call your doctor.” (Yes I used the word dude)
“I’m okay, don’t worry about it.” This is when he touches his lip.
“OMG it's swelling”
“Yeah, it’s big and red; I’m looking in the mirror.”

He calls his doctor, as the lip’s now moved into bad plastic surgery territory, he’s starting to look like an Upper East Side matron with a botched lip job and too much done. The doctor recalls him back to her office.

We pile into the first cab, get caught in traffic, I don’t feel right leaving him, he’s also asked me to come along. We get out of the cab and run the few blocks to the doctor, he’s now turned into Amanda Lepore. The doctor has the door open and rushes him in. I’m in the waiting room. He finally comes out, with a reduced and deflated lip. The doctor has asked him to wait an hour until he’s back to normal - in her office. I can go home. We kiss. I’m glad he’s better.

I leave, go home; there’s vodka waiting for me in the fridge. He never calls me again. He was cute though, well without the blimp that was his lip.

There's a critical difference here that should put the "Sloppy Drunk Guy" at the top of your list as the worst date. "He's Allergic guy" really had no control over what was happening to him and he could not have known it would occur. (Watch the movie "Hitch" for a similar scene!) I would forgive "He's Allergic guy" for that situation, but "Sloppy Drunk guy" was unforgivable.

On the other hand, "He's Allergic Guy" is a more interesting story.

I bet you that "He's Allergic" guy was just too embarassed to call you back!!!
