Only I could go on a date that ends up with the guy getting arrested!!

Where to start?!

I went out with the guy I met the other week, through work people. I wasn't going to, but I decided I might as well give him a chance, it was all very last minute yesterday. He hadn't yet been given a blog name, but I think Psycho Date might be quite appropriate.

We went for Mexican food, we had a few drinks, and we made polite conversation. I wasn't bowled over by any means, but it was going ok. At that point anyway.

We went for a few drinks. He suddenly got very weird on me, accusing me of looking at some bloke. To be fair, I had noticed this bloke, and he had noticed me, but I didn't think a split second of eye contact would have been that noticable.

Psycho Date kept going outside to smoke, leaving me by myself. His ex was also hanging around and he was outside talking to her for ages. At which point, I went to the bar and the guy that I'd noticed earlier started talking to me. I explained I was on a date and I don't usually pick up other blokes while on dates! We did quickly swap numbers though and I went back to Psycho Date before he disappeared outside yet again.

Had enough by that point, told him I was going home. He was in a right foul mood. When he left, I went back and had a drink with the new guy, his brother and mate. It was a good half hour later, at least, and me and new guy were sitting by ourselves. (Think I shall call him Tractor Boy - as he drives a tractor. Nice. I don't half pick them.)

By this point, Psycho Date had come back in and got a drink. First I seen he was storming over to me and Tractor Boy. He shouted at me, saying I was nothing but a tart (sure he could have thought up some worse words) and going off on one, before pouring his drink all over our heads.

Then he punched Tractor Boy. Several times, the poor guy it was awful. He never once raised his hand back to Psycho Date, not that he got a chance. I got hit in the process and my nose is swollen and bruised. It may even be broken. The bouncers came and chucked out Psycho Date. There wasn't many people in the bar, we were providing the floor show, which was embarrassing. (Even more so than my rendition of Papa Don't Preach on the kareoke earier in the night!)

We waited for Psycho Date to leave, but he was waiting outside for us, so the bouncers let us out via the fire exit. However, while we were making our way to the taxi rank, Psycho Date started on Tractor Boy's mate. I didn't see this, just the aftermath, which involved a lot of blood and a trip to the hospital.

Tractor Boy's brother rang the police, and I left as they arrived. He then text me about half 3 to say that Psycho Date had been arrested.

I had no sleep last night, I was in bed for about three hours but too shook up to sleep, and of course that didn't help the hangover. I never go out drinking of a work night. This is what happens when I do!

So yeah, that was some first - and only - date! I thought I'd had some dating disasters in the past but this was certainly full of firsts for me. Can't beleive my quiet Monday night date ended up with two people getting beaten up, me having a possibly broken nose and my 'date' being arrested.

I have had to laugh about it today. I think I'm still in shock, if I don't laugh I'll cry!
