Problem #1: Dave and Busters
“One of the suckiest dates I had, it went a little something like this….We decided to meet at Dave and Busters for a little video game action (after all they do have Police 911), some food and a drink or two. Well, we were set to meet at 6 and when I showed up at 6pm, he was sitting at the bar, already eating. To preface this date, we spoke for about a week and a half, seemed pretty cool. We decide to meet and my first impression is of him eating. He did not stand up to say hello, he barely even looked at me, period. After ordering myself a drink, we headed to the video games. Now, I figured I’d give him the benefit of the doubt. I have never been the type to walk out on someone. I wasn’t digging him but, hey, maybe he was nervous. So, we go to play video games and he used to work there years before. He still knew an employee there who gave him a free power card. He made me buy my own. WHAT?!? He didn’t even share it with me. Now, I’m thinking, maybe this guy just isn’t attracted to me and he is one of those jerks who loses all manners in that case. But a few days after this horrific date, he saw that I was online and didn’t say hi to him. He sent me a long email saying I was cheating on him, etc. How could I do that to him? WHAT?!?! He demanded answers and to know how long I have been seeing this other person. After one crappy date, this guy thought he deserved more explanation? At the end of our date, we said goodbye and didn’t talk again until his email. That guy was a psycho.”

At least the people on their homepage look like they are having a blast. Maybe it’s the shitty food and lame arcade games. Definitely on my short list of places to bring a date let alone first date (wow), nothing says I’m romantic like loud arcade games yelling “YOU WIN” I mean that just puts me in the mood.
